I sometimes got the feeling from various sources that Brú were always interested in cashing in at some stage. Although, obviously couldnt' say whether they have made any return on their investment.

Wonder if both breweries will be kept running.

As I understand it, Brú wanted out of the pubs racket. Carrig is coming in to run the remaining estate and gets the advantage of a larger production facility.
