January 2, 2021 7:00 am It’s been a busy year for the farmer behind Ballykilcavan Brewing Company with hopes high that its visitor centre can be in place for the middle of 2021. “With lockdowns being brought in and out – and we had an extra one in Laois as well – it’s been hard to know what direction to take the brewery, but we decided early on to concentrate on our bottles and cans, and it turned out to be the correct decision for us for this year,” said David Walsh-Kemmis. “Our off-licence sales have held up very well and our new national distributor has brought the beers into places that we could never reach before so that side of the business is going very well,” he said.
