Frost in France. Very Interesting update from Carlo at Chateau Feely. Great Read!

Smoke funnels created by bales of hay being burned by neighbours to try to ward off the frost

White Hag Go Lidl

We’ve got great news - this week see’s our first ever nationwide retail listing in Ireland. Three of our core range beers are going to be available in every Lidl in the 26 counties. Little Fawn, Phantom and Ninth Wave are all taking to the shelves in a handy 4-pack. It may seem like a small cause for celebration, but it means a lot to the brewery and to craft beer in Ireland.
