    Actually prefer shopping in Lidl. I find Aldi a bit chaotic. If they have a pale ale I'll be very happy. :)

    I think it depends on the individual stores. Two near me, one is chaotic but the other one is fairly relaxed.

    I would have thought that O Hara's would have been well over the 20 000hl.
    Can anyone confirm / deny this.

    In July this year Seamus O'Hara said he was expecting to finish 2014 on 17,000hL so would have to be careful as he has the capacity to go over it.

    20,000hL is a lot of beer, and far beyond what most Irish breweries are capable of. If you take 8 Degrees for instance: bottles everywhere, lots of taps, endless new specials, thriving export. They're one of the bigger guys and their LinkedFinance prospectus said their projection for 2014 is 4,000hL. I can't remember if the new brewkit is intended to double or triple that, but it'll still be well under the 20,000hL.

    Thanks Beernut.
    I wonder who lobbied for the increase.
    Looks like it won't really affect anyone, except maybe O Hara's.

    Doesn't necessarily mean loads of sales, as you have sort of alluded to. One micro has 15% of the craft market, but probably about 40% of the craft taps.

    Possibly also Porterhouse, and maybe in a 2 or 3 years Rye River, whose approach is very production oriented.

    Owed by Molson Coors so I suspect they don't qualify under section 3b of the act "legally and economically independent (within the meaning of Section 78A of the Finance Act 2003) of any other brewer"

    I thought they were legally indie still - Fran Well I mean, and did C&C not do some trickery to make that lager brewery the same?

    You don't have to be under the Revenue's limit to put "craft beer" on the label.

    Yes, I did understand it.
    Still a new compound unit to me, though.

    3,000,000 litres is a lot of beer but only 50% beer can be for contract/BUL/ franchise etc to avail of the rebate

    If you've got a problem with the way thread is being moderated, you have a choice to either (a) report it, or (b) send a PM to a mod.

    Ironically enough, what you have done yourself is further drag the thread off topic. You are also backseat modding which is frowned upon.

    See my post earlier in thread for my impressions

    Seems they have a new Golden Ale. Not very nice, quite bland and a lingering astringent bitterness.
