    Any similarities to the taste of the now discontinued Clonmel lager that was made by Bulmers? I absolutely loved that lager although everyone here didn't lol.

    Not discontinued, still being brewed.

    Diageo introduced Rockshore as they have lost the licence to brew Budweiser here - it has gone to Bulmers/CC/showerings in Clonmel

    That story has being going around a while, not sure if its true.

    I always wondered how Heineken were able to brew coors light here when molson have their own distribution here / also coors uk is 4% and Irl is 4.3%

    Re showering I don't know what it's called in called - could be tenants

    Interestingly is miller still available on draught here

    Heineken had a contract for Coors from the distant past, before the MolsonCoors merger I think.

    Showerings was the name of the company owning Bulmers in Ireland until C&C bought it, why it got called that is probably worthy of an academic paper on mergers and acquisitions. I haven't seen it used in a non historical sense in about 15 years and even then it was anachronistic, the trading company is inactive for ages.

    I haven't seen Miller on draught for ages, but it was always relatively niche

    O'Neills on Suffolk Street would be a good indicator. They tend to have everything on draught. If it's not there then it's probably no longer available.

    Miller fell of the radar when Heineken took over beamish and Crawford as they discontinued brewing it - I think for a while Richmond marketing were importing it on draught from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in the smaller barrrels as to who or where the bottles come from I don't know

    I tried this as a free sample. I can only describe it as drinking out of a finished beer glass that was refilled with fizzy water. All gas and a vague hint of some taste that might have come from passing a brewery on the way to the shop.
