Ireland and Leinster rugby player James Lowe is joining the Wicklow-based O Brother Brewing team as an investor.
It marks his first venture in the beverage sector and follows a strong year for the independent craft brewer.
James Lowe is the second well-known figure from the world of rugby to line out for O Brother Brewing, after Devin Toner was added to the investor line up early last year.
"I’ve always admired the creativity and passion that goes into craft brewing, and O Brother has it all – a great team, exceptional beers, and a vision that’s hard to beat. It’s a privilege to be part of this journey and to support an Irish family business that’s making such a big impact," said James Lowe.
Last year, O Brother Brewing completed a major project as it switched its base from Kilcoole to Belmont Demesne in Wicklow.
The family-founded firm also launched three exclusive brews for Aldi during the year and announced the rollout of its core four-beer range at 78 Tesco stores nationwide.
