Brewing up a storm: Family bar launches range of craft beers

The family which has owned a popular city pub for more than a century has built a micro-brewery in the basement and launched a range of craft beers and stouts.

And the Lynch family’s new brews are going down well with regulars at their Cotton Ball Pub on the northside of Cork City.

The Lynchs, whose ancestors established the Mayfield pub in 1874, say they hope to add new drinks to the range over the coming months.
