Pictured here are Galway Hooker's Michael Fitzgerald and artist Cathy Hughes.

Galway Hooker is brewing up a good time with the launch of the first two seasonal beers of 2024 from the Oranmore brewery.

There was great excitement for their launch at a lively Galway Chamber Business After Hours evening event attended by businesses from across the city.

Dozens of people turned up for the launch of the two beers ‘Galway Girl’ and ‘Wild Sea Swimmers’ at the Oranmore-based brewery.

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.

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.
