Beamish & Crawford to spend €7 million on bottling facility

BEAMISH & Crawford is investing €7million to replace its bottling facility which packages its own stout brand name plus Miller Genuine Draft, Fosters and Carling for the Irish and Northern Irish market.

The new line, which starts in November, will increase production to 500 bottles per hour compared with 180 on the old facility.

In addition to its own brewed drinks, Beamish will continue to bottle Holsten, Tennants and Bass for the Irish market as part of its contract arrangements.
