I have been very quiet on the blog machine for the past 2 months. But at Fourcorners have been uber busy, reacting to massively increased sales and planning the introduction of new craft beers to Ireland to meet the ever increasing demand. 2012 is set to be the year Craft Beer makes a big breakthrough in Ireland. And I want to introduce some of the new beers we are landing here this year.

Last week, the CEO of the Vintners Federation of Ireland, the national trade organisation that represents the pub trade in Ireland, gave his opinion on craft beer being made available in his member’s. I could not agree less with his view..

As the season moves from Autumn to Winter, we have a cracking new range of Winter beers, Christmas Beers, Limited Edition beers, Champion Homebrews and some amazing flavoured French Craft beers for you to try..

Gypsy Brewers are a relatively new development within the craft beer brewing community. I have seen them described as “a supersubculture of the craft beer industry”. A Gypsy brewer is one that does not have their own brewery, but instead brews his/her beers at someone else’s brewery.

This blog continues a theme from my last blog – man’s fascination with beer. I think it is a relevant topic this month with the Oktoberfest kicking off in Munich tomorrow week. And I believe the Oktoberfest is an absolute proof of our fascination with beer .

This Blog will explain why Fourcorners loves craft beer and why you might begin to love it too..
