It would be nice if it was bought by some one looking to brew in Ireland

[/quote:1gt56dc7]I enjoyed a pint in there one afternoon a few years ago. He's quite the character isn't he? I believe he shuts the pub twice a day while he has his lunch and dinner <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

That sounds about right bigears. Don't know about lunch, but he usually closes around 5-6pm for the dinner & you can smell the bacon & cabbage...mmm... I think he also closes around 4-6pm for the holy hour on a Sunday. But he often makes up for it at the end of the night with the old late one. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Kind of a late response here, but does anyone know if they sold their kit? I have been grappling with the CAMRA site trying to get an archive version of the June newspaper to follow up, but the method seems to be evading me for now.

This is [i:36aapvu9]What's Brewing?[/i:36aapvu9], I assume. I can ask over on the CAMRA Forum if anyone has a copy lying around. Anyone here who has access to TCD Library should be able to get hold of it, except they don't have a June or July 2009 issue registered, oddly.

I assume it's "What's Brewing?" as well, basing it on thebeergeek's update :

I find it hard to believe that their archive copies are not available online though, I am likely just being a bit dense... <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
