Irish Beer Wholesale

Irish stout is a category of one. Guinness accounts for effectively all Irish beer export demand, and the export-strength specification is the one that matters for long-haul markets.

Packaging formats

Published formats across Ireland lines. Case and pallet configurations differ by brand and are confirmed per SKU before a loading plan is fixed.

Build a mixed beer container

Ireland lines can be consolidated with brands from other origins into a single container loaded in the Netherlands, under one invoice and one documentation set — subject to availability and destination eligibility.

Sourcing beer from Ireland

Two Guinness specifications circulate in international trade and they are not interchangeable. Guinness Draught at around 4.2% ABV uses a nitrogen widget in can and bottle to reproduce the draught pour, and sells into European and Western markets. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout at around 7.5% ABV was formulated to survive long shipping routes and remains the version demanded in West Africa, the Caribbean and parts of South-East Asia.

Buyers regularly submit an inquiry for "Guinness" without stating which. Availability, production origin and landed cost differ substantially between the two, and Foreign Extra Stout is produced in several countries under licence. Specify the specification and, where your market requires it, the production origin.

Ireland beer — buyer questions

Which Ireland beer brands are available for wholesale?
We can source Guinness, Murphy's, Rye River for wholesale supply and export. Availability varies by destination, packaging specification and territorial distribution rights, so the list is confirmed against your specific requirement at quotation.
What packaging formats are available for Ireland beer?
Published formats include 330 ml bottle, 500 ml can, 440 ml can. Formats differ by brand and by production market, and case and pallet configurations are confirmed per SKU before a loading plan is fixed.
What quantity do I need to order Ireland beer?
There is no published minimum. Volume is agreed per enquiry against the lines you want, the destination and how the shipment is loaded. A full pallet is the most efficient unit for a single line, and smaller case quantities are routinely supplied within a mixed pallet or mixed container alongside other brands.
Can Ireland beer be mixed with other brands in one container?
Yes. Mixed-brand consolidation is the core of what we do: products from several origins are brought together at a partner facility in the Netherlands and loaded into one container, under one invoice and one documentation set.
Where is Ireland beer stock held?
Stock for these lines is held at approved partner facilities in the Netherlands, from which export containers are loaded and sealed. We do not own warehousing; fulfilment and excise-controlled movements are handled through partners holding the relevant authorisations.
How do I get a price for Ireland beer?
Send the brands, packaging, quantities and destination through the quotation form. Prices are not published because a beer price is a function of quantity, SKU, destination, incoterm, stock position, excise status, freight and current procurement cost — a static figure would be wrong for almost every buyer who read it.

Origin is recorded at three levels

The country of origin shown here is the origin of the brand. The production site of a specific SKU and the warehouse the stock physically sits in are recorded separately, because for internationally licensed brands they are frequently different countries — and that difference affects labelling, excise treatment and import documentation.
Product availability is subject to stock, destination, packaging specification, applicable trademark rights and territorial distribution restrictions.
