Conor McGregor's Forged Irish Stout vows to rebound after retail setback

Conor McGregor's brand, Forged Irish Stout, has issued a bold statement on social media as 2025 begins. This follows a significant commercial setback after McGregor lost a civil court case related to serious allegations, leading about 1,000 stores in Ireland and the UK to stop selling his products. Despite the backlash, Forged Irish Stout announced plans to expand into new markets this year. The brand's Instagram post emphasized their determination to continue, featuring a photo of McGregor with the message, "You think that's it. We've only just begun!" Dublin politician Ruth Coppinger has called for a boycott of McGregor's products, noting the substantial commercial impact he has faced. She expressed surprise at the number of retailers that have pulled his products, indicating the backlash is significant.
