Fraciscan Well facility to double brewing capacity

The Franciscan Well is set to more than double its brewing capacity as demand for its beers exceeds all expectations.

The Cork brewery, now backed by Canadian beer giant Molson Coors, has ordered a number of extra tanks for its brewing facility in the Marina Commercial Park following unprecedented demand for beers in the UK and Ireland.

Currently, its brewing facility in the Marina Commercial Park, which opened last September, is capable of brewing 35,000 hectolitres (hl) of beer per annum. The new order of tanks will boost this to 75,000hl.
