Bob Coggins
Bob Coggins is the co-founder of White Hag, an Irish craft brewery based in Sligo. Recently in the news for shifting some of its production to the United States, Coggins aims to navigate the challenging tariffs imposed on alcohol imports by the Trump administration. This strategic move, involving an agreement with an independent brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is intended to provide a competitive edge for White Hag and other Irish brewers facing significant levies on exports to the U.S. market.
