Having explained to the very nice lady about our enterprise and how we put business sense before purist nirvana she was entirely satisfied with our approach and wished us well in our endeavour.

I sincerely hope the offending email to the ASA did not originate from anyone who contributes to this site. If it did then that individual is a disgrace and a bitter and twisted person. I will assume the benefit of the doubt here but I am paying a visit to the ASA to give them a present of some of our beers and perhaps the origin will come out in conversation.[/quote:r0tpm41a]

Suggest you switch on brain before keyboard.

Apols if I ruffled feathers chaps but I felt it necessary to voice some opinion on this particular issue. I'm not one to go quietly into the night. Whatever the source of the 'complaint' it was too much of a coincidence manifesting soo soon after some recent threads here on the same subject.

Consider the matter closed.

Come on, one of you is lying. Out with it.

Your displeasure with the complaint is justified, and it is more than likely that the complaint did stem from this forum. It was the subdued threat in your original post that precipitated the harsh response.

It is very easy for someone who knowns nothing about business to complain. I have not tasted the Arainn Mhor products but I hope to. We must all rember how difficut it is to get any business venture of the ground.Arainn Mhor have decided that the business model they have of contract brewing is the best way in the short term, due to the high cost of site acquisition and plant and machinery.Hopefully in the near future that a micro brewery will be built on Arainn mhor and we can all visit.

It must be rembered that the country is likely to loose up 2 micro breweries this year, so encouragement not complaints are needed, lets judge the beer on it's merits so what if it is made on the continent.

Best of luck Arainn Mhor,

Hope you get a Cork seller soon, so I can try the beer.
