Hello World!

/

As the story of Lacada went public with our press coverage in December, and the launch of this website on Christmas Eve, our Share Offer took off. The Press have been in touch, people have been liking, sharing, and craft beer bloggers have been blogging. We’re even beginning to source some elusive second hand dairy tanks (otherwise referred to as hen’s teeth) to build our brewery plant in Portrush.

It seems like the combination of brewing craft beer and the co-operative business model has piqued the interest of many!

The recent public meeting at Portrush Town hall (07/01/2015) attracted a great bunch of like-minded individuals. It was a fair mix of those who had invested, those who were interested and all were willing to get involved in the discussion. They gave us some great advice and ideas too! Sadly, there was only tea and coffee imbibed but that was welcome on a typical wild North Coast evening and that’s going to change soon, once this brewery gets going!

Co-owners are over 60 in number now – certainly a strong, message from the community! The message is clear – ‘Yes we want to brew beer in Portrush to be proud of, and yes we want to employ local people and support our thriving hospitality market.’

With that in mind, the board are rousing working groups to set wheels in motion so that we can hit the ground running when our newly extended Share offer closes on Friday 6th March, 2015.

If you are interested in being part of any of our working groups which cover Planning & Premises, Equipment, Finance, Staff & Policy, Marketing/Networking, please get in touch.
