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.
Mr de Jongh said last year had started really well and, prior to the coronavirus outbreak, the company was excited about 2020.
“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.

We wish you a very happy new year.
Under increasingly stressful circumstances, the Irish food industry has worked hard in 2020 to adapt to various levels of COVID-19 restrictions. Bringing their venues outdoors, investing in heaters and hot water bottles, moving their businesses online and making their menus available for collection - these business owners have been exceptionally innovative.
To ring in the new year, some restaurants are creating take-home boxes filled with delicious platters, mouthwatering ingredients, and ready-made cocktails .
To help you plan your new year s eve night in, Fifi, an Irish food blogger, has constructed a list of Dublin-based restaurants that are offering NYE to-go boxes. We have listed a few below, but you can find the rest on her Instagram.

A Canadian s gruesome account as an Islamic State executioner in Syria, which was the subject of the Caliphate podcast by The New York Times, was fabricated, officials say. A Times review found no corroboration of his claim to have committed atrocities.
He described the killings in lurid detail how he shot one man in the head and stabbed another in the heart before hanging the corpse on a cross.
He spoke at length about joining the religious police of the Islamic State in Syria, and being trucked to a terrorist training session on attacking the West, including North America, his homeland.

After an internal review that took more than two months, The New York Times has determined that “Caliphate,” its award-winning 2018 podcast, did not meet the standards for Times journalism. (Zack DeZon/The New York Times) The New York Times established a timeline of Shehroze Chaudhry’s movements using passport stamps and travel records, social media posts and university documents. The timeline does not rule out the possibility that Chaudhry went to Syria but leaves little time for him to have done so. (The New York Times)
