Franciscan Well History

Franciscan Well is the Irish craft brewery that creates delicious, balanced beers for all to enjoy. That was the mantra of our founder Shane Long when he kicked off the journey 1998, and it’s still what guides us today. He was inspired by our home in Cork and we continue to be every day - a vibrant community that’s open to all and is a real leveller, connecting people through its welcoming atmosphere and vibrant culture.Our first brewery was established on the site of the Franciscan Monastery dating back to 1219. Today we like to keep looking forwards for our inspiration, but the journey people made to the Monastery’s Well mirrors the journey and the connections we see at our Brewpub on the same site today. A place filled with charm and great craic in equal parts that could only be found in Ireland.
