Has it escaped your notice that this is an Irish Craft Brewers festival? This cliche (perhaps you meant clique) happen to have one defining common trait - they are Irish Craft Brewers. They are not rebadging Belgian beer and passing it off as Irish. Perhaps you should contact the Belgian equivalent of Bord Bia.
[quote:2sc62lll]We are an Irish company who have outsourced a small part of our operation[/quote:2sc62lll]You mean the brewing? Most brewers consider that as more than a small part of their operation, but then you're not a brewer are you?
[quote:2sc62lll]With all due respect to sall concerned Bord Bia need to be educated in what is Irish Craft Brewing and what is not.[/quote:2sc62lll]They're obviously well informed. I think it's you who needs educating.
[quote:2sc62lll]We will be heere in 3 years time because our beer is good, many of the Farmleigh stooges will not because their beer not acceptable to a commercial audience.[/quote:2sc62lll]I think you're wrong on both counts. Regardless, your reference to the actual Irish brewers as stooges seems a like a strange way to "promote the Irish Craft Brewing Industry". Another Arainn Mhor Brewing lesson in how to win friends and influence people.
How's that "island brewery" coming along?
