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.

General Policy
Product and process information and appropriate work instructions are established and
arecommunicated to personnel. Operations and production processes are monitored.
Methods forproduct release and delivery are defined.Traceability of materials and processes
is recorded and maintained. Inspection andtest status of product is identified to ensure that
only a product(s) that has passed the requiredinspections are used in production or
dispatched.
Procedural Policies

1.5.1 Processes are monitored and controlled through various ways including but not limited
to activities andtechniques. The aim of the design is to control the following:
Information, material input into the process
Technology, tools and equipment
Process output.
1.6 Product release and delivery
1.6.1 Products are released for delivery after all specified activities have beensatisfactorily
completed and conformity of the product has been verified.
2. VALIDATION OF PROCESSES
2.1If a process cannot be verified by measurement or monitoring it will be designated a
