Luckily there are new micr breweries popping up around the British Islands.<BR/>I'd have a pint of Galway Hooker instead of a Beamish any day!<BR/><BR/>That is probably why the bloggers don't really care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-53976429824515428512008-12-05T10:18:00.000-05:002008-12-05T10:18:00.000-05:00Heineken acquired the Beamish brewery and brand wh...Heineken acquired the Beamish brewery and brand when they and Carlsberg bought and divided up Scottish & Newcastle, IIRC. Probably would have been better for the Irish brewing industry if Carlsberg got B&C- wonder why the Irish regulators didn't try for that.<BR/><BR/>Keep wondering what Heineken has in mind for the US market, considering they now own 3 different US importers- Heineken USA, Star Brand Imports and S&N USA- right? Consolidation? Or maybe a return of some of the S&N beers previously dropped from the US market?JessKiddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13957063630653714731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-84442608041069196602008-12-05T08:01:00.000-05:002008-12-05T08:01:00.000-05:00Bah -- brewing Beamish at Murphy's?

On the other hand, there are markets where Beamish does well, or so I'm told, and it seems odd that they'd buy it just to kill it.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-69791564109294609812008-12-04T17:13:00.000-05:002008-12-04T17:13:00.000-05:00So... closing the brewery to brew Beamish somewher...So... closing the brewery to brew Beamish somewhere else, or closing the brewery to kill the brand?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-31853660354013563762008-12-04T15:11:00.000-05:002008-12-04T15:11:00.000-05:00Oh, great, Steve.
