in the 1930s beamish began a process of modernising and refurbishing the principal beamish public houses across the city, and giving them distinctive names such as the black lion, the cork arms and, in 1939, the jewel in the crown, the swan and cygnet at 125 patrick’s street. the architects chillingworth and levie oversaw the refurbishment, and four watercolours by rising cork artist patrick stevenson adorned the walls of the stylish interior, which is still remembered fondly in cork .

for the beamish plant from when the competition authority (ca) sanctioned the heineken takeover of beamish - - a decision he described as
very surprising
.
declan farmer of heineken said, when beamish was owned by scottish & newcastle, it was its international stout offering and was operating in a number of markets .
beamish is no longer sold anywhere outside ireland because its new owners, heineken, are “focusing on the domestic market” .
reacting to the news, local siptu official, bill mulcahy, who represents many of the beamish & crawford workers, said he was disappointed that after weeks of talks with heineken on getting agreement on a redundancy deal that it did not contact the union with the news .
they conclude with reference to mike hannon’s award - winning 2009 elegiac documentary my beamish boy, in which one of the former beamish workers reminisced that the brewery was more than just a workplace or a business but was “the heart of cork” .
it was founded a year earlier when two leading merchants, william beamish from cork, and william crawford, from bangor, co down, joined forces with two cork brewers, richard barrett and digby o’brien, to set up the cork porter brewery on south main st. the first porter was brewed there on january 17, 1792 and the business took off during the french wars when cork was a major provisioning centre for british fleets .
the dutch firm took a foothold in ireland through the purchase of beamish' s century - old rivals, murphy' s .
a total of 40 beamish workers will be transferred - - but heineken confirmed they will be making the remaining 120 staff redundant .
the location of beamish and crawford' s brewery even bore this out, under the shadow of the elizabeth fort; two empty gun ports seemed to be aimed at the brewery, a subtle reminder to get the brew right. although started in 1792, ed reckoned brewing on the site could have gone on right back to when the danes ruled, and it faced one of the venerable roads that made up the city .
the brothers also discovered that carin’s first cousin, richard beamish, who was a director of the brewery in 1937, met goering at karinhalle after writing to him explaining their connection. while at a luncheon at the air ministry, beamish spotted hitler standing in a doorway .
carlsberg and heineken say the approval of the european commission and other competition authorities will be required, and it is expected the deal will be completed in the second quarter .
“however, now beamish as a brand is to be focused in the domestic market. the focus is to drive the brand in the irish market north and south. the international strategy will come later. ”
we don' t see any difficulty in having a second quality stout brand in our portfolio - - and we are actually very excited by the potential of beamish stout ,
one heineken spokesperson stressed .

new owners heineken had decided to concentrate their cork brewing activities at the lady' s well brewery of murphy' s and we had been invited over to view the beamish brewery one last time before its sad demise, 217 years after its founding in 1792. good news for beamish lovers however, as the brand will continue to be brewed at the younger murphy' s site .
carlsberg and heineken have agreed a joint cash bid of 800 pence sterling a share for scottish and newcastle (s & n) .
heineken boss gerrit van loo described the beamish closure decision as the most difficult faced by the dutch brewing giants since they first arrived on the irish market in 1983 .
we have genuinely made every effort to identify as many employment opportunities as possible for beamish staff. however, retaining two breweries is not sustainable and the loss of so many jobs remains a sad but unavoidable outcome ,

chillingworth & levie also designed the brewery’s model public houses, including the landmark oval bar, across the road from the brewery on south main street, in 1918. the architects houston & houston of london were responsible for another beamish & crawford - related landmark — the brewery’s stables on bishop street, near st fin barre’s cathedral, one of the finest examples of edwardian architecture in the city. the stables closed in the late 1930s and are now the site of a small business park .

“the very first thing that heineken did when it took control of beamish was to stop its sale in spain and to offer only guinness. the guinness in spain is made in spain by heineken, who have a deal with guinness owners, diageo, for its production and distribution of that world - famous beer in the iberian market .
we then went on to see the modern brew hall and associated bottling and keg filling sections which had only been modified at great expense just 10 years previously. again this had echoes of home where the same thing had happened to courage' s bristol brewery, where within 10 years of modernisation scottish and newcastle decided to close it down for its land value. clearly the moral of the story is not to get modernised! amazingly both breweries were also original porter breweries, with bristol and london supplying ireland until beamish and its brethren switched to the black stuff .

murphy and beamish followed guinness into the lager market, brewing a variety of foreign brands under licence. the names have come and gone with the changes of ownership, but the product has remained largely the same. they have been surprisingly successful in this section of the market, the only one where guinness has punched below its weight. their market share of only around 50% - in what is an expanding sector - must be a worry .

for decades the three large breweries (guinness, murphy, beamish) were happy to brew nothing but porter - style beers. there was a parallel world of quite small ale breweries which struggled along until the 1950' s. the remaining half dozen or so merged to form the imaginatively - named irish ale brewers, which guinness bought in 1965 .

the reclamation of marshland, fortifications to make it a safe haven for merchant ships, victualling yards to support the growing british empire and supplies for the hazardous journeys across the world – and the provision of generous amounts of beer, gin and whiskey (bristol had a distillery as well) made them both popular places. in fact the bristol coat of arms is strikingly similar to that of cork' s; a sailing ship carried forth from a protective tower, in cork' s case, two protective towers !

export stout. a version of foreign extra stout that is sold in belgium and holland. filtered and pasteurised. burnt, toffee, bread, chocolate, fruit and milk aromas. ; sweet / bitter / sourish taste with dates, burnt, toffee, liquorice and milk aromas; very bitter finish with burnt, black toffee, cream, coffee, liquorice and fruit aromas. a big, beefy beer with a subtle touch of sourness. the sort of beer that bravely resists brewery conditioning and doesn' t quite lose. i' m lucky enough to have an off licence 100 yards from my house that sells it. it' s a beer that always gets me into a 19th century mood. what a pathetic nostalgic i am. if i were to be granted one beer wish, it would be: a bottle - conditioned version of this beer. knowing the depth bottle - conditioning added to extra stout, i' m certain an unfiltered export / foreign stout would be sensational. bet the useless gits never do it, but i can dream.
