Introduction
Business History
Golden Dub was founded in summer of 2013 when Gavin Neun and Matthew Calvin came
together to create something special, a beer crafted from years of experience of working in
the Industry. With this alignment of ideas has come a beginning to what we hope will be a
prosperous future in the brewing of our Beer, Golden Dub.Currently our employment is
modest but with time we have quantifiable belief in expanding our operation.
In Ireland craft beer is on the increase with the surge of new breweries largely as a result of
changes in excise requirements, access to funding, and an increase in brewing education
courses run by the government-funded Taste4SuccessSkillnet.As are we many brewers are
also involved in a professional brewers' association called Beer Ireland which has provided
members with networking opportunities and provided information on setting up a brewery.
Going into 2014 there are approximately 50 Irish craft brewing businesses which are either
in production or in planning.This is all very positive for the future of the company and
possibilities of prosperity but with all this will come with many challenges which we look
forward to getting involved in.
