I would suggest a boycott of Tennants but that that would too easy.

I would boycott the Galgorm, but my wallet does that for me.

Hillstown brewed a lager for the Galgorm but I suspect it's their entire range which has been discontinued from there. Doesn't surprise me to be honest. C&C are pumping massive amounts of money into pubs up here and the only beer outside of their range sold is Diageo's stout. Unfortunately the north is still a few years behind everywhere else in terms of craft beer but these 5-10 year deals being done by the macros are only meaning we'll be kept even further behind.
