There’s something brewing at Finn’s Corner — after 20 years inside its iconic black gates in the beating heart of Dublin, a mini Guinness Storehouse is coming our way in the form of a Christmas pop-up at the former iconic Cork city sports shop.

How Corkonians will react to the arrival of a Dublin brewer into a city with its own proud history of brewing is anyone’s guess, but with little left of Beamish & Crawford — other than the famous Counting House — and Murphy’s gone Dutch, whatever pride we had is long swallowed, along with more than a fair share of the black stuff.
