Heineken Ireland acquisition of Molson Coors Ireland beers

What I dislike about it is the fact it pretends to be Spainish,but it was conceived and brewed in England.

Didn't find the Madri and San Maguel stuff great

Going to Madrid in a few weeks, not sure what beers are even big overthere

Yeah the lads were saying that's the main beer

Hopefully its not like Harp or Rockshore

its true! over 90 people in ROI market are going to loose their jobs in January

it is brewed in Cork and Burton on Trent but actually was conceived in La Sagra brewery in Toledo. The guy on the bottle is Carlos Garcia, the owner of the brewery and a real person

they haven't bought Molson Coors, just the distribution rights for ROI. Still means that over 90 jobs are going to be lost right after Christmas

you're actually 100% correct but so was what I said. It is brewed in Cork and Burton and Carlos Garcia is still a major stakeholder in La Sagra brewery. They're very careful not to call it Spanish, they call it a 'Spanish or Mediterranean style beer '

that's what is known as 'marketing'

correct! its almost the same type of lies they told their current Irish team when they did a huge recruitment drive and head hunted us from other jobs only the leave us high and dry right after Christmas

That is the plan so far. Production will continue and no jobs will be lost. Heineken will just take over distribution

it's not a merger per say, Heineken will just take over the distribution of the full Molson Coors portfolio in ROI. They already distribute Coors here which was thought to be taken back by the Molson ROI team when the contract expired but now they will take over distribution of all brands for Molson Coors

as a directly affected person of this 'development' I can assure you that this is going ahead. The CCPC will announce when they are ready. As for Molson and Heineken, there should be a press statement soon which will state very little information other than Heineken Ireland will assume full distribution of Molson Coors products in ROI after approval from the CCPC is achieved

I wasn't trying to correct you :-), just trying to give information where I can. A lot of jobs, lives and families are now affected by this and we're stuck in purgatory without adequate information :-(

Mahou is a fine beer, perfect for the sun.

Are any/nuch of the Molson Coors portfolio made in Ireland (other than F Well)?
