The brewers were not permitted to sell their product at the festival over the weekend.

The Head of Electric Picnic says he has 'no reason' to visit a Laois brewery which wasn't allowed to sell its beer at the festival.

Melvin Benn recently said the reason Ballykilcavan Brewery weren't at the Stradbally event was because he didn't like the taste of its product.

He was later invited to the brewery to try the beer, while its owner, David Walsh-Kemmis, said Mr. Benn's comments weren't a good look.

However, the Festival Organiser says he won't be taking up that offer:
