Yerra the only free houses at the end of the day are the ones that brew their own beer ,the rest are slaves to shareholders of big beer and pension funds ,paradoxically what you prefer is what’s is in effect a tie ,but you and I have been debating this for years

Why should the public be slave to some over priced home brew?

It is always fascinating to read Benny's posts on here.

A true insight into the mind of one of Ireland's greatest businessmen, and a major employer in Cork.

I'm not as obsessed with Benny as I used be. Liam O'Shea (the man behind the trailblazing "The Hyde Out") is my new favorite publican.

How are "all the good pubs in Ireland" going to stop being similarly "tied" if they're all INVOLVED in brewing their own beer - I note you didn't say actually brewing their own beer - many of the best pubs are far too small, or have far too small a turnover, to be actually brewing their own beer.

Changing the main suppliers from Heinekin and Diagio to 7 Sons of the Deer or whatever isn't going to transform the whole landscape that much and certainly wouldn't support "They're not truly free houses now but they will be, and then they'll be "real pubs" type claims.

Several cork bars are brewing their own beer now . Fionbarra , Cissie Youngs , Shelbourn , beirhause all have their own brand now .
