That's if you have a spare €7 million hanging around.

Local brewers of McGargles Irish craft beers, Rye River Brewing Company, has started a campaign to raise €7 million to fund its interesting growth plans.

The plans include developing new markets while also investing in building a visitors center which will be very beneficial to our local economy.

The capital will be raised both through crowdfunding and from outside investors. The crowdfunding campaign target is €100,000 and starts next week via Kickstarter. As the company is EIIS approved they are hoping to attract outside investors who will benefit from substantial tax relief.
