REMINDER: Irish beer doesn’t like to be poked, but it does like to be talked to, and of course gently quaffed. Cussing, especially use of the ‘F’ word encouraged. #irish #irishbeer #beer #brewery

Many customers ask what the heck that small nook just inside our front door is.
It`s a Reliquary!
What?
A reliquary is a container or space used to hold and protect relics or physical objects associated with saints or holy figures for veneration, and serves as a focal point for devotion and pilgrimage.
In our case, we don`t have any real relics or bones or anything, just pictures of Saint Brigid, the patron saint of Irish beer, Shane MacGowan of the Pogues, and Sinead O`Connor.
Jason made them stockings this year.
