not sure if anyone spotted this in the papers at the weekend :
QuoteThe brewer is seeking to diversify its product portfolio, and is in the process of adding a craft brewery in Clonmel to harness growing demand.
Craft beers, said Mr Glancey, provide a way for pubs to offer consumers something different.

It would appear that growth in this market is finally taking hold. We shall watch for how the big 2 react ;)
Their old production facility is in town (Dowd's Lane) and hasnt been used for a few years but still has all the old vats you used see in the adverts - would be great is they placed this new brewery there. They used to do the crushing there too. Used always make for a great apply aroma at this time of year.
