A promotional flyer on a wood-textured background with hops and beer pints for an event titled “PORTER WARS – Book Talk and Beer Tasting.” At the top, white text reads: “4pm Sunday, December 7th.” Below, large bold white text states “PORTER WARS,” with smaller text underneath reading “BOOK TALK AND BEER TASTING.” Text reads: “Join Dr Christina Wade for a talk on Irish beer in the 18th century. Featuring porters inspired by her book, Filthy Queens: A History of Beer in Ireland Nine Bean Rows Books.” “A collab by Trouble Brewing × Dr Christina Wade × Liam K. of Irish Beer History.” Below this are two Trouble Brewing beer label graphics. One for an English Porter called The Fox and the other an Irish Porter called Fire & Labour At the bottom: “AT L. MULLIGAN GROCER.”

Beoir is very saddened to learn of the tragic death of former Franciscan Well brewer Peter Lyall, a good friend from our earliest days. RIP.
