Ireland's oldest brewery closed down

Ireland's oldest brewery has closed its doors for the final time.

The Beamish & Crawford facility in Cork has been closed by its owner, Heineken, which has transferred production to another site in the city.

Brewers have been making beer at the South Main Street site since 1690.

Here's a video telling the Beamish & Crawford story.
