Would you like to go pro one day?

Thanks lads! We're planning to launch with a blonde and a pale ale, there is a red ale recipe that I'm sure will pop up as well, looking forward to actually getting to start!

[DEMPSEY]

I wish the best of good trading to you all,am just wondering if ye all have ID'd your route to market and all that as there appears to be a fair amount of launches coming soon.

[kev]

True Dempsey, a lot of breweries are coming on stream. Its not going to be easy but for our side we're confident that we can break into the market.

Il Tubo ran a thread a while back about setting up a co op. Has anyone setting up commercially looked at the nuts and bolts of this. Clear advantage would be shared capital costs and shared personnel support.

I think the high frequency of Iaunchs will support each other, the collective momenutum and PR / advertising prolongs the message of Quality Irish Craft.

There is only one market share that will be reduced..... That of bland and bad beer.

Cheers to ye ! Kev and Kaymak . Let us know of yer launches. The NHC tomtoms can help spread the word.

how many are setting up the co-op and are you going to produce the one range of beers between you or are you all going to book time as such for making your own beer each.

[matthewdick23]

yeah we get that questions a good bit actually.


We aren't a co-working brewery, as you are describing. We are a cooperative brewery which means we are like any other brewery making one brand of beers.

there are 8 atm on the board of directors. we will be a multistakeholder cooperative which will allow for any joe blogs to become a member
