    Beamish Brewery (Heineken) to be sold in May
    (BizWorld)

    The historic Beamish and Crawford site in Cork is to be sold in May by its owners, Heinken Ireland.

    The brewery which was due to close today is to remain open until mid-May for logistical purposes but most of the remaining staff there will be departing over the next few weeks, Heinken Ireland said this afternoon.

    The company took over the country's oldest brewery in December after it was given the go-ahead by the Competition Authority to take over Beamish and Crawford as part of a E10.5 billion international deal.

    The closure has led to the loss of 120 jobs, while a further 40 will transfer from Beamish and Crawford to Lady's Well, where Heineken produces lager and Murphy's stout.
