diarmuid ó drisceoil said the brewery flourished during the french wars , when cork was a major provisioning centre for british fleets , and when o’brien was captured on a merchant ship by the french in 1794 and barrett withdrew from the business in 1799 , beamish and crawford took over the brewery .
diarmuid , who works full - time at historical research and writing , said beamish and crawford’s extensive company archive provided most of the information for their book . “with the support and co - operation of heineken , those company records that remained in the brewery were transferred to the cork city and county archives , ” he said .
beamish & crawford’s extensive company papers , some of which remained hidden for over 200 years , form the basis of this book – the most comprehensive history of an irish brewery published in one volume .
william crawford junior’s son , william horatio crawford ( 1812 - 1888 ) , had little interest in the brewing business , though he was sleeping partner in the firm . but he used his vast wealth and income from the brewery to indulge in his wide cultural interests and to generously support education , art and culture in the city .
but heineken last night said the integrity of the beamish stout brand would be protected .

william crawford junior ( 1788 - 1840 ) , son of brewery co - founder william crawford ( 1757 - 1834 ) , was a patron of the cork society for the promotion of the fine arts in the early 1800s . like his father and his father’s business partner william beamish , he was a patron of the royal cork institution , founded in 1803 , which had an extensive library and promoted adult education in the city through short courses and lectures .
the removal men had already commenced work and after gathering in the old board room we proceeded to a room stacked with beamish and crawford memorabilia - old advertising signs , boards and mirrors , fantastic gallon jugs with unique pictorials , glasses , decanters , old measures and piles of old , extremely valuable , brewing and distilling manuals and books . most poignant of all perhaps , being the pile of former chairman portraits which would have once taken pride of place .

the ó drisceoil brothers have form in cork history : they also wrote serving a city : t he story of cork’s english market , and the beamish and crawford history is a logical follow - on from their 1997 book the murphy’s story : t he history of lady’s well brewery , about cork’s other brewery .
another brewery director , north ludlow beamish , was a key mover in the successful campaign to establish the university in cork in 1849 and his son , north ludlow axel beamish , served for many years as chairman of the cork carnegie library committee .
the next morning , we partially explored some of the other breweries beamish had acquired over the years , lane ' s on the waterfront is now a car park with hardly any original features left , and arnott ' s further inland is now the site of the ' crawford institute of art and design ' - this site bought and redeveloped at the turn of the last century ; mike imagined the wry smile on sharman crawford ' s face when the institute was opened where a competitor once stood .
poet and writer john augustus shea , born in cork in 1802 , worked as a clerk in beamish & crawford , as did the novelist and playwright e temple thurston , whose family moved to cork in 1901 . many more recent figures from the worlds of art and entertainment also served their time at the brewery , such as the celebrated cork actor and comedian billa o’connell , pictured , the acclaimed traditional fiddler johnny mccarthy and the renowned photographer , david creedon .
in the 1930s beamish began a process of modernising and refurbishing the principal beamish public houses across the city , and giving them distinctive names such as the black lion , the cork arms and , in 1939 , the jewel in the crown , the swan and cygnet at 125 patrick’s street . the architects chillingworth and levie oversaw the refurbishment , and four watercolours by rising cork artist patrick stevenson adorned the walls of the stylish interior , which is still remembered fondly in cork .
arthur frederick , also a brewery director , had purchased the former arnott’s brewery premises on fitton street following its closure in 1901 . he donated it to the city for the building of a new technical college , which was officially opened as the sharman crawford municipal technical institute in 1912 . the corporation renamed fitton street , on which the ‘tech’ was located , sharman crawford street in his honour . as well as providing the premises , arthur frederick contributed to the cost of equipping the college and provided annual scholarships for students there and at the city’s school of art . the crawford school of art moved into the building in 1979 ; it is now the crawford college of art and design .
since heineken first announced its plans to take over beamish from scottish and newcastle last year , it was at pains to stress it would not change the position of beamish stout in the market . however , the brewer appears to have demoted the cork product .
richard beamish ( 1798 - 1873 ) , son of brewery founder william beamish , wrote a biography of the celebrated engineer , marc isambard brunel , with whom he had worked on various projects , including the thames tunnel . beamish also worked with his son , isambard kingdom brunel , on other high - profile engineering schemes .
. beamish stout is far harder to find than its main irish rivals , despite being under globalist control .
“carin was the great - great - granddaughter of william beamish and her mother was swedish – she met goering in sweden in 1920 and they married and settled in munich , where she joined the nazi party and she helped goering escape after the failed beer hall putsch , ” said donal .
heineken had been given the go - ahead to takeover beamish on october 3 last . the decision to shut the beamish brewery came as operating profits at the cork brewery slumped by 55pc in 2007 to €2 . 8m .
deputy lynch said
the writing was on the wall
for the beamish plant from when the competition authority ( ca ) sanctioned the heineken takeover of beamish - - a decision he described as
very surprising
.
declan farmer of heineken said , when beamish was owned by scottish & newcastle , it was its international stout offering and was operating in a number of markets .
beamish is no longer sold anywhere outside ireland because its new owners , heineken , are “focusing on the domestic market” .
reacting to the news , local siptu official , bill mulcahy , who represents many of the beamish & crawford workers , said he was disappointed that after weeks of talks with heineken on getting agreement on a redundancy deal that it did not contact the union with the news .
they conclude with reference to mike hannon’s award - winning 2009 elegiac documentary my beamish boy , in which one of the former beamish workers reminisced that the brewery was more than just a workplace or a business but was “the heart of cork” .
it was founded a year earlier when two leading merchants , william beamish from cork , and william crawford , from bangor , co down , joined forces with two cork brewers , richard barrett and digby o’brien , to set up the cork porter brewery on south main st . the first porter was brewed there on january 17 , 1792 and the business took off during the french wars when cork was a major provisioning centre for british fleets .
the dutch firm took a foothold in ireland through the purchase of beamish ' s century - old rivals , murphy ' s .
a total of 40 beamish workers will be transferred - - but heineken confirmed they will be making the remaining 120 staff redundant .
the location of beamish and crawford ' s brewery even bore this out , under the shadow of the elizabeth fort ; two empty gun ports seemed to be aimed at the brewery , a subtle reminder to get the brew right . although started in 1792 , ed reckoned brewing on the site could have gone on right back to when the danes ruled , and it faced one of the venerable roads that made up the city .
the brothers also discovered that carin’s first cousin , richard beamish , who was a director of the brewery in 1937 , met goering at karinhalle after writing to him explaining their connection . while at a luncheon at the air ministry , beamish spotted hitler standing in a doorway .
carlsberg and heineken say the approval of the european commission and other competition authorities will be required , and it is expected the deal will be completed in the second quarter .
“however , now beamish as a brand is to be focused in the domestic market . the focus is to drive the brand in the irish market north and south . the international strategy will come later . ”
we don ' t see any difficulty in having a second quality stout brand in our portfolio - - and we are actually very excited by the potential of beamish stout ,
one heineken spokesperson stressed .

new owners heineken had decided to concentrate their cork brewing activities at the lady ' s well brewery of murphy ' s and we had been invited over to view the beamish brewery one last time before its sad demise , 217 years after its founding in 1792 . good news for beamish lovers however , as the brand will continue to be brewed at the younger murphy ' s site .
carlsberg and heineken have agreed a joint cash bid of 800 pence sterling a share for scottish and newcastle ( s & n ) .
heineken boss gerrit van loo described the beamish closure decision as the most difficult faced by the dutch brewing giants since they first arrived on the irish market in 1983 .
we have genuinely made every effort to identify as many employment opportunities as possible for beamish staff . however , retaining two breweries is not sustainable and the loss of so many jobs remains a sad but unavoidable outcome ,
he said .
top names in the business , including rté’s john creedon , redfm’s neil prendeville , 96fm’s derry o’callaghan and trevor welch , as well as tv3’s paul byrne and mark cagney , all talk of the joy and excitement of working in cork pirate stations in the late 1970s and early 1980s .
chillingworth & levie also designed the brewery’s model public houses , including the landmark oval bar , across the road from the brewery on south main street , in 1918 . the architects houston & houston of london were responsible for another beamish & crawford - related landmark — the brewery’s stables on bishop street , near st fin barre’s cathedral , one of the finest examples of edwardian architecture in the city . the stables closed in the late 1930s and are now the site of a small business park .
it once was ireland’s biggest brewery , producing more stout than guinness and exporting it as far afield as australia , the united states and the caribbean .

“the very first thing that heineken did when it took control of beamish was to stop its sale in spain and to offer only guinness . the guinness in spain is made in spain by heineken , who have a deal with guinness owners , diageo , for its production and distribution of that world - famous beer in the iberian market .
we then went on to see the modern brew hall and associated bottling and keg filling sections which had only been modified at great expense just 10 years previously . again this had echoes of home where the same thing had happened to courage ' s bristol brewery , where within 10 years of modernisation scottish and newcastle decided to close it down for its land value . clearly the moral of the story is not to get modernised ! amazingly both breweries were also original porter breweries , with bristol and london supplying ireland until beamish and its brethren switched to the black stuff .

“maybe heineken can try to justify these price hikes to themselves but one thing is for sure : how can it cost €1 . 40 more a pint if they are making the guinness in spain with cheaper labour costs and relatively no shipping compared to the beamish , which was coming all the way from cork ? ”

murphy and beamish followed guinness into the lager market , brewing a variety of foreign brands under licence . the names have come and gone with the changes of ownership , but the product has remained largely the same . they have been surprisingly successful in this section of the market , the only one where guinness has punched below its weight . their market share of only around 50 % - in what is an expanding sector - must be a worry .
