Bummer! Yeah "my beer and wine",  it closed down at least 6 months ago if not more.
Unfortunatley the nearest shop is actually thehomebrewcompany.ie in mountmelloc tipperary.
Homebrewwest have their shop in galway close to the city.
Homebrew.ie used to operat in athlone - but thy're gone now too.

Tescos have started to stock stuff there's a thread on here about which ones do.

Welcome to the site!

Living in Drogheda you could become our most northerly "North County Brewer"!

Check out the thread here: http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=NorthCountyBrewers

We will be meeting up in Swords in the New year and ye'd be more than welcome. There is no need to bring a ber to these sort of meetings. If you have some fine, if not, no problem.

Talking of problems if you brew a beer you are not happy with then this is a "must bring to the meeting" as the beer heads will help sort out what it is, how it happened and how to avoid it.
