BRASSERIE
& DISTILLERIE
Irish Distillers (IDL) is a subsidiary of the world’s co-leader in wines and spirits, Pernod-Ricard, and produces the world’s best-selling Irish whiskey : Jameson.
In 2008 the Pernot-Ricard group choiced our experts in brewing room, given their R&D expertise in the brewing room to launch initial tests and analyzes on the processing of raw materials using the Meura filtration technology. Three years later, after new tests and convinced by the excellent results of these two tests, IDL decided to invest in a complete brewhouse made by Meura as part of its expansion to Midleton, Ireland.
Our teams of experts proposed to IDL a concept of Meurabrew continuous brewing room, with an expansion program in five phases, allowing, in a future, to double the initial production capacity In the first phase, only two batch brewhouses are planned, which will later be transformed into a continuous brewhouse with a capacity of 450 hl/h.
Commissioning and reception started in August 2012 and the final production rate was reached in September, less than a year later .
