From the Brewery history society Journal Number 91

The brewery was established in 1800 by Richard Deasy.

It became a limited liability company in 1880 in the hands of Messrs. Travers, Canty & Wright, brewers of both ale and porter. The latter branded "The Wrestler" became famous in their West Cork market. Owing to the shortages that occurred during the Second World War, Deasys were forced to close their brewery in 1942, when Messrs Guinness agreed to supply them with porter.
