Argument brewing over Cork beer taps

A multinational alcohol company has denied claims that it influenced Cork pubs to remove the produce of independent craft brewers from its taps last weekend.

Saturday and Sunday saw bumper crowds in the city, with two All Ireland hurling quarter finals, the Munster Fleadh, and the Lee Swim all taking place in Cork over the weekend.

The increased numbers was a boon to the hospitality industry over the two days.
