Murphy’s Beer started in Cork, Ireland, in 1856, founded by James Jeremiah Murphy and his brothers, aiming to brew a smoother, less bitter stout than Guinness using the local River Lee’s water. It grew into a major Irish brewery, known for its caramel-malt flavor and creamy texture, becoming a strong local rival to Guinness before facing financial struggles and eventually being acquired by Heineken. The brand is famous for its association with strength, notably featuring strongman Eugene Sandow in early ads, and remains a beloved Cork institution
