Article in Business and Finance 19 years 1 week ago #1

I got hold of a copy of Business and Finance yesterday. Page 60 gives you George Lenkers article on the state of play regarding the commercial craft brewing scene here. George is an Irishcraftbrewer member. I am embarrassed to be quoted in the article as a "beer aficionado" - Thanks George! Anyway, it's good to see a publication such as B&F publishing an article on the topic.

Well done George!

It's a good article and it's great to see the craft brewers get some coverage.

Thanks John (and Bigears)..as you know, John, I'll be over there next week and can't wait to see it.
Thanks for your help--and by the by, I refered to you as a "beer bowsey" but the editor changed it to "aficianado" <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

cheers!

Actually, what I took exception to was the line: "while sipping a pint of Oyster stout". Me? Sipping? Nah, gulping maybe!!

I found the article on the Web


It's a good read. Not a surprise that our microbrewing industry isn't a pot of gold, but it is encouraging that some are making a living exclusively within the Irish market. In addition to Carlow, Kinsale are big exporters, and, I've heard Aran Mor's plans are in that direction too.

They'd want to stop [i:1w1bc2s9]importing[/i:1w1bc2s9] first. Árainn Mhór beers are made in Belgium, I discovered to my horror from the ICB guys I met a couple of weeks ago. Árainn Mhór labelling is disingenuous in the extreme.
