Ah no that's gonna ruin my Christmas

It's no rumour unfortunately.

I dont think its unfortunate, it'll be great for the industry depending on the circumstances.

A lot easier to convince banks and EI to invest in current breweries or new startups...

It might be time to start dusting off that group buy brewery idea!

[DEMPSEY]

Strange buy,if it is so. The fran well is a brew pub and while we know they are going to open a new brewery,to run along side the brewpub,the size I would have taught is too small for the multi-national. Was this also not a rumour around last year about coor's buying O'Hara's.

Shane (rebel red) over on beoir has confirmed!

Announcement to come in January.

Things to remain the same.

[DEMPSEY]

It would appear that Coor's are going to put their money where there mouth is,as the expression go's. This would suggest that a trend has really taken hold and has some way to go yet. Can only be good news for beer lovers.

I hope this is to fund the expansion that was publicised a couple of months  back.

Well White Shield is MC as well, so maybe its not the end of the world.
