Title: Heino attack
Post by: DEMPSEY on February 28, 2015, 03:05:18 PM
Hearing about a story of Heino buying off Farringtons/Norseman to stop selling craft beer. Not sure of the facts so read this with caution but if it is true then we are seeing the big 2 begin to make the move to destroy the craft beer again :( >:(.

Well, it was to be expected.
I suppose we should just convert people into brewing their own heiner clones

Not surprising. I was told that Molson Coors are paying peoples Sky if they take on their beers (incl Fran Well) in place of real craft beer.

Explains why they had feck all on tap the other day (taps still in place though). Had a pint of Leann Follain though. Most likely my last ever pint there

Who would that be?

Would be curious to know how much cash was involved. Everyone has their price.

Must have been recent enough too, not too long ago they were on Twitter everyday about their tap list being updated daily on their website
