Cave Direct has become the importer and distributor of Beamish Irish Stout in Great Britain. 

The company has confirmed that it will undertake a slow follow of venues across the UK, with more to come in 2026.

“Growing up, there was always an air of mystery around Beamish. You could only find it in Cork, and you wouldn’t really see it anywhere else.

“Then, in 2022, I started to notice it around Belfast and it was then I knew we had to have it on Cave Direct’s list,” says Rob Young, national account manager at Cave Direct.

“It represents everything people look for in a pint. It has depth, balance and tradiBon. It really is the stout drinker’s stout.

“This partnership has been three years in the making, and now, bringing it to Great Britain is more than just adding another beer to our range, it’s about giving drinkers access to a classic that deserves to be poured with pride. 

“We know the demand is there, so we’re taking a careful, phased approach to make sure Beamish gets the welcome it deserves.”
