"Mountjoy Brewery brewed a 'Dublin Brown Ale' in 1953 it seems ... this is from the Irish Press of that year. I wonder if all their recipes are in someone's safe hands...?"
(This drew a question as to when they actually closed, some websites say 1949 but then I then found something online...)
"... Interesting ... the online version of the Findlater book has an addendum that says it closed in 'August 1956'..."
(I then added this...)
"... Further to the Mountjoy Brown Ale tweet above, here's a dubiously worded advert and a writeup from The Irish Press in 1955. It looks like that brown ale died a death - or isn't mentioned at least - and sadly the brewery was soon to head in the same direction..."
