    Does anyone know where to purchase or even if it has been released in the states?
    Coors, purchased this brewery and released a statement that it will be distributing in the states. This was in 2015. Love several of their labels..
    Thanks for any info...

    Point of distinction: Molson Coors bought them - I think the plan all along was for them to serve Canadian markets more than the US.

    Their beers have taken a nose dive since the buyout, anyway.
    Shandon got brewed at Sharp's for a while, and was awful. They've got an OK red. Chieftain is a very 2009-style IPA.
    Their latest effort was Archway, a macro-style lager intended to go toe to toe with the big boys. That should tell you something about where their heads are at.

    The brewpub is still OK, I hear, and they host a fest at Easter.
    Generally, though, craft drinkers in Ireland don't pay them any mind anymore.

    I am mostly a Bourbon/Whiskey guy, but every time I go over to Ireland. I find myself ordering it.

    I tried twice, a few months apart. No return answer.
    Thanks for the assist.
