In support of Ger
I have never had a bad bottle of O'Haras or Galway Hooker, If I have the worst bottle of irish craft, I would not complain on the forum, because that cause the closure of that business. If I was a bank manager and saw that a micro brewery that owed the bank money, that their beer is crap could cause me to pull that loan and cause that small business to close.
It grand taking the piss out of one of the macros, it will make no difference to them,but this could kill a small business.
Most of the members backing Mark are not self employed or running a business. The reality in the current economic climate the post was in bad taste.
The admin on the site think it's a few Cork people gone rebel, but that is not the case.
If a member like Ger c is considering resiging his membership,something is wrong with beoir.
Mark the busman is entitled to his view, but not a malice view of the world, just to win the argument and put the cork people in their box.
If all the micros are in business in 5 years time , I will buy Mark the busman a pint from each brewery, if he consents to removing this post in the interest of the economy not winning the argument over the silly rebels.
