Something about how the Celtic beers aren't being brewed at the moment, but he's always looking to do different, special beers. I'm not sure if he's contract brewing at the moment, but it [i:fc7yzac6]seemed[/i:fc7yzac6]* to suggest something was in the pipeline

And if the Craft Brewer's Network/Guild of Brewers & Maltsters got their act together and were a bit more public, being nosey about what they're up to would be an awful lot easier.

Some people make it very difficult to give them free publicity.

The whole thing is a joke...as long as you have 'buisnessmen' with NO passion for the beer itself in charge then there will never be that steady influx of foreign beers, or even work trying to get more and more beers available to us. Clearly England does not have this problem as i have seen order sites similar to Realbeers.ie with a massive range of Americans, Belgians etc. Its a sad state of affairs

Sadly all the passion in the world will only get you so far.
And comparing Ireland to a country with ten times the population is a little futile.

Its a mild comparasson Noby, i know how big our country is, im merely saying that its ironic how a country so close, although bigger can access these beers more freely, everything aside, im just really annoyed about it, we are falling behind

Sorry Graeme, not having a go or anything. Everyone's a bit peeved when one of the good guys goes under.
Hopefully there's enough interest there that another distributor will step in (or is that the reason they went under?)
