While we still have 6 weeks to go to the biggest day of the year, when you need to brew and get beer to be distributed now is the time! As we move towards March 17th I thought I’d write a series of Blogs about Patrick’s legacy and influence on the land we live in…Irish Beer Man

I went with some friends from Las Vegas to lunch at Stormont this week. The parliament buildings are impressive as you travel the mile from Stormont gates. The building was completed in 1932 and because it is set at the top of a rise, it offers wonderful views over Belfast. My visit was an amazing experience, one for which I want to thank Basil McCrea, the MLA we had lunch with and Eddie Rea our…Read More
There is no doubt that many of the Western Economies are facing hard decisions at the moment as our part of the world seeks to overcome challenging economic situations. I see many people on Facebook and in other places worry about whether their stock portfolio is dropping in value and the impact this will have on their retirement. I know that many of the large brewing groups are facing declining sales as people ‘tighten’ their…Read More
This is an old local humorous poem called ‘Dixon from Dungannon’. It mentions the troublesome Icelandic volcano which ‘Dixon fixed with his chewing gum’ when it last erupted. We thought you might find it funny given it topical nature while Tony remains ‘stranded’ in Vegas. Read his latest blog, The Irish Boomerang for further information.

I’ve been in Las Vegas for the last week working on a very exciting project. On Thursday morning I got ready to travel to Dublin. I checked with Delta the flight to Dublin was still going and upon confirmation, I left Palm Place to make my journey home. On arriving at the airport I checked again, as I really did not want to swap Vegas for Atlanta for the weekend should my connecting flight to…Read More
Nearly every day of the year I’m the beer man from County Down. If Ireland are playing any sport I’m supporting them, if Ulster are playing rugby, there is only one team to support, even in politics I know who I am! My company promotes County Down and Ireland with enthusiasm and respect, we know where we are from and how lucky we are to live in this part of the world. Personally, I love…

This week saw the start of Lent and as usual both my wife and I gave up something we both like to eat or drink. My wife voluntarily gives up wine each year, which I think is admirable. I (am forced to) give up chocolate and sweets. Now I know this is good for me, and as a diabetic I shouldn’t be eating chocolate and sweets, but I have to tell you after 72 hours…

I received some sad news this week when I heard a well-known personality had died after suffering a short illness. The strange thing is, when I heard the news a smile spread across my face remembering a special story. I turned to Tracey and she was smiling too and when I asked why, she was remembering the same incident! Jarvis was the bar manager at the Dufferin Inn, Killyleagh. When I first started coming to…

So, one of the biggest sporting events of the year is upon us. Are we talking Superbowl? Are we thinking of the Stanley Cup? No we are not, it is the start of the Six Nations Rugby Championship! For our American friends, most of who will not have heard of rugby, let alone the Six Nations Championship, I thought I’d enlighten you. There is an old adage that rugby is a game for hooligans played…

I remember like it was yesterday when my daughter Bethan was born in Guildford, England. On Sunday April 20th at about 8pm during my favourite TV programme (I can’t remember what it was) Tracey went into labour and we rushed to the hospital only for Bethan to take 16 hours to arrive! This last 10 days has been a bit like that, waiting for our first major batch of USA beer to arrive. George our…

Superior web-site. Nice writing comments system. Apologies for the off-topic post, however I ended up being very impressed with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this yr. The guy is just unrivaled. He exhibited he had been as strong as iron. Just consider about he he can defeat Nadal who had been so determined to succeed as well as was really so energized up while in the 5th set. I am starting to feel that Djokovic has been doing some religious work to take some aids on his side that help him secure this sort of matches up against the greatest players in the globe
