TOPIC:

I just noticed an ad in CAMRA's April "What's Brewing" paper.

As mentioned on ICB, BEB had been up for sale before, but now it's "Priced for quick sale".

I remember reading a great article in a brew industry mag, talking to Peadar Garvey about setting the brewery up, including his tongue-in-cheek Blarney about magic ingredients, etc.

I think I only ever had the bottled stout somewhere once (Porterhouse, probably).

Sad to see an Irish pioneer go, but I hope a new phoenix might spring from the ashes?

Sad to see it go, I think last summer they where trying to make a go of it again <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

It is sad, but they were trying to run a brewpub in rural Ireland. That was always going to be an uphill struggle.

Sad indeed. last time i was there all the yocals were drinking bulmers.....maybe black biddy was big in clonmel at the time but i doubt it. <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->

They made great beers. Black biddy was top notch. The red was the only decent Irish red, and one with bogmrytle in it <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
