- About a hundred years ago there was no brewery in Rathdowney. There was a flour-mill there instead and it was situated just where the brewery now stands. The mill was owned by a man named Mr White. It was situated just beside a river and the machinery was worked by means of water. After a time an English-man named Perry came and bought the mill and made a brewery out of it when he saw that is was so nicely situated. Story obtained from Mrs Gorman.
