Update 2024:
The Macardle Moore Brewery was founded at Cambricville in Dundalk. Earlier in 1837 a brewery was established in Dublin Street by a Mr Wynne. In 1859 ownership passed to his two nephews John and Arthur Duffy along with Edward H Macardle who bought out the Duffys and went into partnership with his cousin Andrew Moore moving to Cambricville in 1863. Macardle Moore joined Guinness in 1961 as part of Irish Ale Brewers. Brewing ceased in 1993 but packaging continued up until 2001 when the site was converted for other industrial use and some housing.
Today a Creative Media project in collaboration with the Macardles Historical Society along with the County Archivist and the Guinness Archive is aiming to digitise all the archives and safeguard artifacts. It is hoped that future displays will encourage tourism in the town.
