    Theuy don't brew any Heineken in Cork that goes into a bottle or a can. It's all for kegs. There are NO bottling or canning lines in Leitrim Street, Cork.
    Coors may or may not be brewed there, but it's bottled by Bulmers in Clonmel either way.

    strange,
    how come irish heneken is 4.2% while real heineken is 5.0%?

    theres also the fact that you can buy heinken export as mentioned above or you can buy heineken "brewed in cork"...

    i havent drank heineken in a few years as i was sick of getting the watered down one that tasted like tuborg but cost twice as much.
    ill check tomorrow when im in the supermarket but im 99% sure that the 4.2% crap they sell over here is "proudly" watered down in cork.

    unless you have other info?

    As I said above, there are no bottling or canning lines in Cork. Keg lines only. They're a customer of mine.
    Look closely at the cans/bottles, it says brewed FOR Heineken Ireland, Leitrinm St., Cork. Amsterdam would indeed run 'Irish' campaigns at their plant.

    BTW, I see Dunnes have been selling 5% stuff for the last while. Don't know what the story is here, except maybe they're by-passing Heineken Irl. to purchase.
