The laboratory boasts best in class laboratory equipment, experts in the industry and uses next-generation methods to grow brewing/distilling yeast and bacteria and to perform analysis on beer, cider, spirits, water and wine. 

Loughran Brewing Stores partner with WHC Lab because their lab is home to industry-leading equipment including Anton Paar Alcolyzer and density meter as well as QPCR for genetic analysis. Their services offer a large selection of tests including microanalysis PH, IBU, ABV, calories, final gravity, colour (EBC) and water testing.

#BlueMonday We all have good and bad days! It is not for the calendar to decide. However today was not a great day for our drone. This time of year can be particularly tough and we are not undermining that. If you are struggling at the moment, please talk to a friend, family member or health professional. @mentalhealthireland #MentalHealth #positivethoughts #Drone #DJI #blueskies

UniKeg Vs KeyKeg! Ever wonder what the difference is or just want to know more… KEYKEG With a KeyKeg, you are entrusting your drinks to the most advanced plastic keg in the world. Each KeyKeg is equipped with patented Double Wall™ and Bag-in-Keg™ technology. The advanced valve technology does not only make filling at high speed possible but also separates the propellant from the beverage. The plastic keg is able to withstand the most rigorous testing in relation to safety and preserving the quality of drinks. In addition to its light weight and air-assisted dispensing, a KeyKeg provides the best possible protection for your drink. The drink in a KeyKeg retains its shelf life for a long time, just like in a steel keg. KeyKeg makes that extra difference after connection. The drink retains its quality for several extra weeks, as the propellant gas doesn’t come into contact with the drink dispensed into the laminated inner bag. UNIKEG With the UniKeg, OneCircle has developed an ideal combination between price and quality. In each UniKeg, in addition to the Double Wall™ technology, a spear and conventional fittings are used. Each UniKeg is therefore very reliable, sturdy and safe. Each UniKeg can be recycled and consists of over 30% recycled materials. With a UniKeg, you are opting for a very safe and reliable disposable keg which can be used to send your drinks to your customers in the region without any worries. Each UniKeg is equipped with a D, S or A-fitting as standard. Other attachments are available upon request. Let us know whether you choose KeyKeg or UniKeg and why, vote in our poll on our story or drop us a PM, we would love to know more. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us: IE: will@malt.ie UK: rob@malt.ie #kegs #unikegs #keykegs #onecircle #circulareconomy #sustainability #beer #breweries

As we have now entered the #firstquarter of 2022, we look forward to the #yearahead. We at Loughran Brewing Stores are planning a packed schedule. Hop Harvest in New Zealand kicks off in early March and we expect to give you a great insight, even more so than last year. We look to some of the best names in the industry, as they reap the rewards of the beautiful varieties they have been cultivating year round. St. Patrick’s Day is next as the first major event of the year. It is always a busy time here, orders start to come in January and February from breweries planning for what is usually the busiest time for beer sales across the world. We will be taking a look at crops, grains specifically barley, showcasing the stages of preparing the land, sowing, growth, crop walks and finally harvest throughout the year. We are fortunate to get a great insight from local farmers and our own Loughran Family Malt. This year we will try to achieve a look at the crop year from the other great malt partners we work with. Later in the year we hope to enjoy more events, meeting more of customers face to face and of course we will have hop analysis and maybe even some beer tastings. If you have any questions or would like to know more about a particular area of what we do, please don't hesitate to contact us or drop us a PM. #barley #hopharvest #stpatricksday #beer #malt

“The newest member of the team” Meet Conor! Conor Nicholson makes us all feel that little bit older, his energy and work rate are a credit to him. Alongside Graham, he is responsible for order fulfillment and execution as well as stock management and rotation. You’ll find Conor in what we call ‘Store 12’ in the yard, packing malt, preparing orders and he also is responsible for the maintenance of equipment & machines. Conor lives very local to our facility here in Haggardstown, his commute is only a few minutes walk. He also has a keen interest in sport, playing football locally. #meettheteam #technical #commercial #hops #12daysofchristmas #festiveseason #LoughranBrewingStores #team #UKbrewers #meettheteam #beer #logistics #accounts #Christmas #internal #yard #facility #forklift #stockmanagement #fulfillment

"Beside every successful man, is an equally successful woman" Meet Sheila! Sheila has been around from the very beginning, she was a key player in the early concepts and ideas for Loughran Family Malt. Witnessing first hand the growth of the company from those early ideas to what has now become Loughran Brewing Stores. With her upbringing on her families farm in Kilkenny, to her studies in Agriculture, Sheila is always able to lend advice and offer wisdom. Sheila is a very organised in her day-to-day role. She definitely works behind the scenes ensuring currency is purchased, suppliers are paid and oversees compliance at our facility. Above all Sheila pays our wages and for that we are very grateful indeed! Sheila has been fortunate to try many of the brews that come through our doors, her favourite is usually a fruit forward IPA. While Sheila has plenty to do in her role at Loughrans it extends further, she is a brilliant mother to the next generation of Loughrans, Daniel and Cara and if you didn’t already know she is married to James. Reigning from Kilkenny, Sheila brings her skill and knowledge of Hurling and Camogie to Louth. She coaches at the local club 'Blackrock Hurling and Camogie’. The future is bright for Hurling and Camogie in Louth thanks to Sheila! #meettheteam #technical #commercial #hops #12daysofchristmas #festiveseason #LoughranBrewingStores #team #UKbrewers #meettheteam #beer #logistics #accounts #Christmas #internal #thefuture #compliance

“Caoimhe is a crucial member of the team who often doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.” Caoimhe Lynch plays a major role at Loughran Brewing Stores in ensuring our accounts are accurate. Caoimhe ensures that all our suppliers are paid on time, this is one of our long-standing goals here at Loughran Brewing Stores “pay and get paid”. Not only does Caoimhe save the day at Loughran’s, she is also known as super mom at home and loves to spend time with her two little boys. You probably won’t find Caoimhe sipping on a pint of craft beer at the weekend, instead she is likely to be flicking though an interiors magazine with a big mug of tea! #meettheteam #accounts #customeraccount #12daysofchristmas #festiveseason #LoughranBrewingStores #team #meettheteam #beer #logistics #accounts #Christmas #internal
