[quote:29z6zlsc][b:29z6zlsc]Tom Crean’s Lager to Explore Irish Market[/b:29z6zlsc]

A new Irish craft brewery, Dingle Brewing Company, are busy preparing for the launch of their premium Irish lager which will be called ‘Tom Crean’s’ in honour of the local man who went on to become a heroic figure in the world of Antarctic exploration.

The Dingle Brewing Company, Dingle, Co. Kerry, a joint enterprise between local business man Jerry O’Sullivan and Kildare publicans Joe and Nigel Flanagan are presently perfecting the first brew of their flagship lager in time for launching into the Irish market this summer.

“We are aiming to rejuvenate the unique atmosphere of socialising in an Irish pub by producing a premium Irish lager which will appeal to both the public and the publican alike” says Nigel Flanagan. They hope to provide a focal point for friends to get together, enjoying that unique atmosphere, each others company and a pint or a glass of ‘Crean’s’.

The brewery is based in the old creamery building on Spa Rd.,Dingle. Opened in 1888 the creamery became the economic epicenter of the Dingle Peninsula and was a vital commercial center for the area, especially after 1916 and the following troubled years which had left the economy, especially agriculture, in a perilous state.

The owners of Dingle Brewing Co., have been mindful of the place that this building has in the history of the area and have lovingly restored it, retaining its charm and character. “By running the brewery and also offering tours to the general public and tourist market the Dingle Brewing Company hope to restore the level of importance which this building had previously enjoyed and make it an essential part of the Dingle experience as well as providing employment for people in the town” says Jerry O’Sullivan.

As well as offering tours they will be producing ‘Tom Crean’s’ Premium Irish Lager’, the first pint of which will be poured, quite fittingly, in the South Pole Pub, Annascaul, Co. Kerry, the very pub, which the great man Tom Crean ran after retiring from his Antarctic expeditions. The lager will be available initially in selected outlets from June/July with more outlets being supplied as demand dictates.[/quote:29z6zlsc]

Do you know what capacity their equipment is?
It looks fantastic, no doubt it'll attract quite a few visitors. Hopefully it'll go well for them.
