Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a history of an Irish brewery, as well as a family sage and a social and cultural account spanning two centuries. The Murphy family, who founded Lady's Well Brewery, was one of Ireland's original merchant prince families, and made its fortune in the importing, tanning, distilling and brewing industries.
