Lineman

'The most important principle for us when producing a beer is that it is infinitely drinkable.'

Setup in 2019, Lineman had been a long-planned project of founder and brewer Mark Lucey. Having been obsessed with beer and heavily involved in homebrewing for all his adult life, it was always an ambition to open a brewery or have a commercial brewing project that would allow him to produce a diverse range of beer. Stouts, Belgians styles, IPAs and Mixed Fermentations.

It soon became a proper husband-and-wife team when Vivienne joined shortly before the first beers were released. Being a graphic designer with lots of commercial experience she was able to bring the look for Lineman together just in time for their beers to be released. 

The name Lineman is a tribute to Vivienne’s dad who had worked as a lineman in the rural electrification project of 1950’s Ireland. It captures the honesty of effort and sense of adventure that Lineman is built on.
