🎉 BIG NEWS 🎊

🍺 After over a decade brewing beer, we have FINALLY acquired a full Article 5(1)(a) licence, allowing us to sell alcohol for consumption both on and off premises here in our independent microbrewery in Warrenpoint at the foothills of the epic Mourne Mountains ⛰

[Pints Of Beauty @PintsBeauty]

161 pubs gone in just 3 months! That’s almost 2 pubs closing every single day across Britain.

Pubs aren’t just places for a pint.
They’re where mates meet, families eat, communities connect and
memories are made. If we want great pubs to survive, they need support now, not when it’s too late.

You don’t even need to go big:

• Pop in for a coffee (instead of a big chain) ☕
• Grab lunch instead of a meal deal 🍔
• Meet friends there after work 🍻
• Support quiz nights & live music 🎶
• Choose the pub over staying in, even if it's for a couple 🏡

Small visits make a massive difference #SaveThePub

Year Of Beer 2026- May cask

Present 3.8% Coffee Mild 👌🍻
This beer is beautifully balanced, combining rich coffee with the smooth, warming character of dark malts.

Keep an eye out for Present pouring throughout May.

@JonnyDrury_Star Those are some fine stats for a LB in a defensively more disciplined league. I don't buy that he was mediocre. Maybe if given a run we may have seen some improvement. Who knows could have flourished somewhat like we've seen with Diakite.

@baggiebloke Love that pub!

[The Travelling Barman @Matt7Merrick]

@talkwba @LewisCox_star Positive news this, KG has been missed. Any involvement is welcome

Happy St Patrick's day! Very taken by Tully's in Waterford last week. Sure had a vibe 🇮🇪

[The Travelling Barman @Matt7Merrick]

@JonnyDrury_Star If we replicate that & it resulted in 3 points, then maybe just maybe. I think it's too late. This is just 1 of many games we will highlight come end of season and say this was yet another trip up moment. Realistically with 9 to go we need at least 4 wins. Not happening, is it?
