Metalman Brewing has its export sales in the can

Blazing a trail in Ireland with canned craft beer, Waterford company Metalman Brewing is focusing on expansion and on exports.

In January this year it became the first Irish microbrewery to set up a canning operation.

It now sells pale ale, wheat lager, and smoked porter in cans and on draught to more than 300 pubs and off licences around Ireland and has begun exporting to the UK and Italy.
