TOPIC:

Was watching the Farm Fixer last night and they visited Inish Mac Saint to follow up on the previous episode and see if the brewery had learnt any lessons from your man Nick Hewer (Alan Sugar's assistant).

The brewer said he had a fermentation capacity of 3,000l and was producing around 1,300 bottles a week. My question is, where is this all going? He was asked about sales to Britain (which they had been looking into) but said that local demand was too high and demand in the south is growing. To this day though, I’ve never seen it on sale and my brother tells me the only place he ever got it was the Vineyard in Belfast (who sell everything). <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

Touché.

It's not available in Derry, that's for sure. Nor can it be found in any supermarkets. And my brother is regularly in Belfast and like I said, only it seen it once.

To cap it off, my da's family all live within 5-10 mins of the brewery and have only heard about it but never tried the stuff either.

Have enquired on their Facebook to see if they have a list of stockists anyway.

you'll find he takes ages to reply to anything. I've also not seen anything of their stuff aside from an initial bottle i managed to pick up in bittles. I'll speak to their CAMRA BLO (Adrian) to see if he has any ideas.

I've seen it in bottles in The Bureau, a Celtic Tiger-y lounge in Newtownabbey, Belfast, but they only started stocking it recently.

My brother in law picked up a few bottles in Blakes off-licence, Derrlyin just after it launched. I'll ask him if he's seen it there since.
