Indie Pop Stars Black Castle Drinks in The Sunday Irish Times!

This bank holiday Sunday we were featured in an excellent article on the soft drink movement in Ireland written by Corinna Hardgrave for the Sunday Times in Ireland. 

We were thrilled to be the featured so prominently and love the picture - John's face makes us laugh out loud!! Our Black Castle craft sodas were in good company too, with Poacher's Tonic and Wild Orchard soft drinks also featured.

Riva and John from Wicklow are the team behind BLACK CASTLE soft drinks. Having lived in London for a number of years they returned with a greater sense of pride for their little island and all it had to offer - the food, the drink, the culture and the laughs!

Thanks a million!
