Was in the shop today and picked up two kits, St peters ruby red ale and coopers heritage larger. If you add in the shipping/handling costs you would have to pay from the homebrew websites, the shop in Kells works out cheaper and is less then 20 mins down the road. Luke is very friendly and chatty. I will be going back.

He has an interesting scheme where you brew and bottle your wine on his premises, which peaked my partners interest.

yea in the beginning of the year I was on Dragons Den.
Not for the money but for the publicity.
Anyway did nt get the money and did nt want the money.

I was also on Irish Television Sky channel 192 Showcase in County Matters. This was a whole interview about the shop and the concept

Now Monday 29 Sep I am live on LMFN radio in the afternoon for an interview
