Galway Hooker Seasonal Beers Launched at Business After Hours with Cathy Hughes

On Thursday, February 29th, Galway Hooker Brewery launched their first two new seasonal beers of 2024 with Cathy Hughes – and there was a great turnout for the official get-together at their Oranmore-based brewery.


Lively After Hours

Businesses from across the city attended a lively Galway Chamber Business After Hours evening event hosted by Galway Hooker.

Dozens of people turned up for the launch of Galway Girl and Wild Sea Swimmers at the Oranmore-based brewery, the first two seasonal beers of 2024.

Galway Girl is a hazy IPA with tropical, citrus, and pine notes, and Wild Sea Swimmers is a full-bodied Baltic porter with waves of chocolate and caramel.


Eye-Catching, Tasty, Seasonal Brews

Both unique brews will feature fabulous artwork from West of Ireland artist Cathy Hughes on the cans, offering an eye-catching spin that is sure to grab the public’s eye.

Cathy has been devoted to art and crafts since she was very young, and her amazing creative work will adorn all of Galway Hooker’s 2024 seasonal brews – putting an artistic and colourful touch to an already recognizable beer.

“I’m delighted to collaborate with Galway Hooker on their seasonal brews for 2024. I’m proud to be associated with a brand that is innovative, daring, and different,” Cathy said.

“My work as an abstract artist incorporates Irish folklore, Aran textiles, Celtic heritage, and maritime imagery, inspired by the beauty that surrounds me here living by the wild Atlantic Ocean on the West Coast of Ireland,” she added.
