What beer are we drinking this week ?

last wend i was in Galway.checked into hotel then straight out looking for the Bierhaus.
came across the Salthouse while looking and what a pub.i love the place.
was with two mates who love BUD-CARLESBERG and Guinness.
i told them we were not drinking any of the above or similar.

1st up was there own bay lager and i was impressed and the lads loved it.
next we had there bay ale which was also good and my mates liked it.
after that we had Or from trouble and followed that with a galway hooker
mates tought this was the best so far.

we moved onto the Bierhaus as i belived they did food=they dont so we just had 1pt of hooker at 3euro a pt.
went to Monroes and got dinner and another pt of hooker or two.

a funny bit to the rest of the evening is we left 2 or 3 pubs later without getting a drink as the didnt have hooker.

saturday we went to a pub for food n footy but left after the match and straight back to the salthouse where i got the lads there 1st taste of O Haras stout.
in the words of one of the lads "best fcukin pts i ever had"

all in all a great wend and found the bay lager better than expected and loved the salthouse.
cant wait for a return visit.

The Bigfoot is best left for a year or so. It tends to be very harsh when young.

Thanks for the tip. Im pretty sure I read the same about the De Molen stuff. Know anything about that?

In the spirit of the thread I AM DRINKING these even if I happen to sell them as well.

Good aul Warehouse.

Asahi - no picture needed.

Goldings - New from Shepherd Neame(in country around 8 hours)


Krombacher Dunkel - didnt like Erdinger Dunkel but you never know


Apparently China's biggest selling Beer

Nah, Lidl have had that a few times over the last couple of years. Any chance you'd be able to tell the powers at Sheps that your customers (me at least) would be more likely to buy their beer if it wasn't in clear glass bottles?

They are going to be rotating this with different products for each different season so this will only be around till August I'd say.

On the glass. I'll mention it to the boss.

Totally different style to Erdinger, being a lager rather than a weissbier. I look forward to picking this up when I see it. Dark lagers are lovely.

I would like to be a fan so hopefully this will cure me.

Though brewed in Faversham by Shepherd Neame, right?

Yep. They didn't fair too badly with Asahi so this should be good.

They've been running those seasonals in Lidl for a while now -- €1.50 a bottle. And they're really not very good, IMO.

It's in the Fridge now. 'Erself is complaining because beer has a major monopoly on space in the fridge of late.

I'll let you know later what I think of it. I was a big fan of the Whitstable Ale you see so basing it on, being the same colour, im hoping for something similar.

Lidl are very cheap for it so. Found a few bottles of Masterbrew in an Off License in Co Limerick. They have been there a lonnngggggggg time. Probably found during a stocktake buried. They looked nasty. So old you couldn't even see the best before date. I'm guessing its passed its sell by date by at least 18 months. She said she would "pass on the observation" :rolleyes:

Drinking the Brew Dog/Mikkeler blended 'I Hardcore You' tonight.

Its up there with the best, very impressed. Glad I bought two!

Great minds thing alike I have not tried them yet though.

Tonight, as well as my own beer, I had Warrior IPA from Left Hand.

Erdinger Swowbeer. Feck it, its best before June 11. Nobody is going to buy the measly 3 cases I had left. 6 bottles in fridge now.

Haven't posted here yet guys but follow the thread as I'm a serious beer lover. I love the Belgian beers but like the occasional light beer around 5% Anyway, I'm a fan of Banana Bread Beers as I enjoy the taste & find it very refreshing. Today in Superquinn Lucan they were doing an offer on all Wells beers. 6 for €12 so I grabbed myself 6 Bananas & I'm enjoying them right now. Anyway, not sure if the offer is at all Superquinn branches but worth a look tomorrow.

Has anyone tasted ashai beer?its from japan,Saw it in my local super value for 3 euro a bottle :eek:

It's a pretty ordinary lager - not bad.


Was at a wedding yesterday so opted for my usual 'when in a crap bar beer' - Smithwick's. But this was strangely nice Smithwick's as opposed to the usual 'completely inoffensive' Smithwicks. It was sour. Nice sour! Almost like it had a touch of Lambic blended into it. I loved it and I didn't tell the barman about it until I'd had my last pint. I was urging him to taste it but rules and cameras meant that under no circumstances could he even pour a drop into a glass and taste it. Anyway, I was a happy camper and I feel fine today after a fist of pints!
