As someone who has a relative directly connected with the Heineken (Formerly Murphys Brewery) in Cork the future is by no means bright for Irish brewing at least where Murphys and Beamish are concerned.

Heineken are reducing their headcount in Ireland favouring lower cost locations such as poland to do most of their Accounting and Admin.

At present they are reducing the number of people employed in Cork through Voluntary Redundancy.

Now Beamish and Murphys are produced from the same location in Cork but with a long term view I would speculate since Heineken purchased Scottish and Newcastle that Brewing will be relocated to Manchester where there is a super brewery and will ship all Irelands requirements over at a locer cost then producing them here through economies of scale.

This is why I favour locally brewed craft beers these days... Rant over

Relocation to Manchester? Beyond evil if true.

A bit like Diageo apparently wanting to close James Gate when the site was said to have a value of a billion during the boom, being moved from Cork would most likely destroy the identity of Beamish and Murphys in Cork, the only place they really have mass market appeal. With the Franciscan Well expansion on the way too, it would be a bizarre move from Heineken.

They are building a brand new brewery and will have a bigger output than Carlow when it's finished.
