If you've ever been to a casino, you've probably noticed that beer is not only good, but well made. In fact, Ellis Island craft beer is one of the best in the world, winning more than 40 medals and is served only in casinos. Most breweries have their own casinos and produce more than a million glasses of beer a year, which means they don't pay high prices to third-party brewers or distributors. As a result, the casinos in Ireland makes more profit. Although the casino does not make much money on the beer it serves, as the name implies, the casino serves craft beer produced by local breweries, so it is worth a visit.
