I wandered into what was the Dark Horse in Blackrock before Xmas and was a bit shocked to see that The Galway Brewing company have pulled out! The craft beer selection was drastically reduced and replace by beers who spend all their money on advertising which trys to convince you that beer should be really, really cold!
Does anyone know what happened? The pub seemed to be a lot busier when TGB co took it over, and they seem to be expanding around Dublin too...
GB never renewed the lease when it lapsed. Beer Trader in Dun Laoghaire is gone too.
