BREW PUBS

Belfast had its first brewpub!

First mooted way back in 1990 by a co-owner of the old Linenhall Bar, and to be in Franklin Street, but never followed through. Then a couple of rumours in later years but all pipe dreams.

The Brewbot * started on the Ormeau Road, Belfast, but did not last long. The parent company of Brewbot appears, from newspaper articles, to be closing. Galway Bay Brewery stepped in and took the place over. Will it be an ordinary pub? Will they try a micro brewery?

Well, actually, we have another - see above.
