Products
Prior to the takeover and closure of the brewery, key products included:
- Beamish stout is Beamish and Crawford's flagship product, now brewed by Heineken at the Murphy's brewery.
- Beamish Red was a sweetish ale, made to resemble Kilkenny or Murphy's Irish Red. Production ceased immediately following the takeover. Several Cork pubs which once stocked Beamish Red replaced it with Franciscan Well Rebel Red.
In addition to their own produce, Beamish and Crawford brewed and distributed a number of internationally known brands of beer, with the Irish franchises for Fosters, Kronenbourg 1664 and Miller. Fosters has remained with the new owners, while Miller was transferred to a new distributor, importing the beer from SABMiller's Netherlands brewery.
In 2009, after just over two years of being reintroduced to the U.S. market, owners Heineken decided to stop distribution of Beamish products outside Ireland.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”

“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no
hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
Why not?
Look at pot.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
