The Beamish and Crawford Brewery, the largest brewery in Cork was opened in 1792 by William Beamish and William Crawford on the site of an old Porter brewery (Porter is a strong very dark, sweet stout). By 1805 the brewery was the largest in Ireland and the third largest in the world. It modernised in 1865 and went public in 1901, producing its flagship beer, Beamish Stout. The brewery has had many owners over the years, mainly large International companies, currently Heineken International. It closed in 2009 with all jobs lost. Beamish products will now be manufactured by the nearby Murphy's Brewery. The brewery buildings remain in the mediaeval heart of Cork City, and include the Tudor Counting House.
