Confused... 10 years 8 months ago #1

Anyone have any more details on a newish brewery in the north west, O'Connor Craft Beer? Maybe Irish Goat has info?

What's baffling me is the name AND logo are exactly the same as O'Connor Brewing in the US.

I can't believe anyone would be that stupid to just blatantly rip off another brewery's logo, especially one with the same name. I should be walking past Walled City today so I'll maybe pop in and ask James there if he knows anything more.

I was quite impressed, it's very clean, has a nice biscuity malt backbone and a subtle hop character. Hopefully meeting the guy next weekend so I'll see what more I can find out.
