Microbrewery hits the spot with beer giant investment

The Franciscan Well Brewery in Cork has been bought by Molson Coors UK & Ireland in a multi-million euro deal.

With the investment from Molson Coors, the independent Cork brewery is planning to expand its brewing capacity and create at least 15 jobs.

Despite Molson Coors, which brews Coors Light and Carling among other brands, coming on-board, they have left the running of the brewery to the original team.
