A new Dublin craft brewery with a palpable difference.

Johnnie Morris writes:

I was reading a couple of your lovely, beer-related articles recently about the White Hag festival in Sligo and Franciscan Well’s delicious partnership with Aungier Danger.

The article prompted me to get in touch with you about a new venture I’ve co-founded called JohnnieBongos Brewery. Like our counterparts at White Hag and Franciscan Well, we’re looking to tap into the popularity of the craft beer scene but we’re approaching it from a pretty unique angle.

We’re creating Ireland’s first membership-access brewery which is a fully kitted out brewing space where people can come to learn and brew their own craft beer masterpieces.

We’re currently in the process of fitting out our premises in Dublin’s North Strand, just 10 minutes walk from Connolly Station. We’ll also be offering brewing workshops and facilitating corporate events for companies that want a different type of team day out (Details at link below)!

In fairness.

Hic.

Following the Che Guevara controversy, An Post has issued a stamp to mark the centenary of the apparitions of Fatima.

Feargal Purcell writes:

The stamp, designed by 2b:creative, features a statue of Our Lady that stands in the Oratory of the Archbishop of Armagh, Eamon Martin. Bishop Martin, who is Roman Catholic Primate of All Ireland purchased the statue in 2015, when he led a pilgrimage from Armagh and Belfast to Fatima in preparation for the centenary of the apparitions.

The International stamp (€1.35), along with a specially designed First day Cover envelope, is available from main post offices, from the stamp counters at Dublin’s GPO or online at  The First Day Cover includes a quote from the sixth and final apparition at Fatima.

The work of anonymous French artist and photographer JR at the US-Mexican border in South California.

A huge image of Kikito (top pic), a one year-old boy from the city of Tecate which was removed this week, only to be replaced (probably not for long) with a second work in the form of a picnic table (pic 2) extending either  side of the fence where a simultaneous meal was shared by citizens of Mexico and the US.
