A Dublin craft brewery is set to expand this year after refocusing on the production of canned beer to offset the impact of pub closures during Covid-19.
Hope Beer co-founder Wim de Jongh said the future of the independent brewery at Howth Junction on Dublin’s northside was plunged into uncertainty last March by the onset of the pandemic.

“January, which is normally a dead month for us, was better than the year before, February was fantastic. We were really excited about having a very good year,” he said.

Lair of the Clockwork God is both a fulfilling platform-adventure and loving satire all in one. I strongly recommend you pla
