Any demand for a Guided Tour of O Haras Brewery?

yes on oct 26th I wrote
"HI All, spoke with carlow brewing, they are still in the process of building and will be another 2 weeks from wednesday before they can start up the tours again.
their preference for tours is thursday afternoons because that is their optimum time to have a brewer free to take us around. Nice to see a good few interested.  I asked about a saturday and got the hint that if theres a big enough group they may sort something for us. I will ring again in 10 days or so"

Called them again today. same story, still building, now they are installing a distillery and part of warehouse is still out of bounds.
I asked them for a final answer yes or no as its been 5 weeks now and every week they keep saying still building try again next week. They said theyll ring me later.
I'm dissapointed really because they are still advertising tours on their homepage but not facilitating their offer currently.

Also the only day they seem willing now is Thursday afternoon and I'm feeling this may be a barrier if people are working.
Any feedback? any other brewery willing to take the homebrewers around for an hour and a free pint?  Trouble? Carrig?  any ideas?  I know Tom from Dungarvan will but its a hell of a drive wud be better stayin overnight and have a few cask in Merrys!

Sorry folks, Ive done my best. Despite confirming they would call me back today with a decision on the tour they have failed on this occasion.
I can do no more...............Origianlly Carlow brewing were all for the tour so I advertised it, now 5 or 6 weeks in the keep declining and are not communicating too well and as I said they promote the tours on their main webpage but cant follow through on the offer. that may be the downside to getting too big.. pressure builds up and customer service suffers...at least it seems that way in this case.

O HARAS tour suggestion is CANCELLED! Sorry
