I've never tasted it. Would you say it lives up to the reputation

It's definitely an amazing beer and certainly lives up to the accolades imo.

The only problem with beers like these is that people's expectations can be too high given all the hype, and invariably they end up being let down. You also have to actually like the style.

hamsterboy · 22-10-2014 5:55pm

Kewl. While I do like the style, it's not a style I drink a lot of. That being said I am well excited about opening one of these at the weekend

Yeah very reasonable price considering the %. Going to pick up a couple myself this weekend, hopefully as good as draught.

Wow,bwould not have thought it was available on draught here! I'm too long out of Dublin obviously, things must have come on so!
Thanks will check faq, pain in the hoop.

H_Lime · 22-10-2014 8:31pm

Might just be me but this batch seems a tad more carbonated?
Still fuggin devine mind mmmmmm

Herb Powell · 22-10-2014 9:45pm

Kinsale Black IPA, fecking hell, beer brewed 20 mins away is some of the best I have ever tasted. I love trying new beers, but Kinsale Pale Ale has become a staple for me simply because it is too bloody good!

drumswan · 22-10-2014 11:34pm

Picked up three new Buxton beers tonight - the Saison, Ace IPA and the Far Skyliner Berliner Weisse. First two are excellent, struggling to think of another brewery as consistently good as these from this side of the pond. Will try the sour tomorrow.

I really liked their Jaw Gate APA, along with a few others I've tried by them.

Redmonds. Theyve about 8 or 9 Buxton beers in stock. Worth the trip for these alone.

Thorton · 23-10-2014 2:45pm

Actually, this week I just had the Green Flash double stout. I don't know what makes it double, but it was good.flavor.

themountainman · 23-10-2014 3:08pm

Modus Hoperandi, delish. I am instantly drawn to anything that is a silly play on the word hop as its name. Hoptical Illusion being another favourite.

Insect Overlord · 23-10-2014 3:12pm

On that note, I've a Sierra Nevada Hoptimum put away for tonight!

Still looking forward to the next lot of Hopplehammer too.

themountainman · 23-10-2014 3:13pm

I've actually got one of those waiting at home, but I haven't tried it yet. Something to look forward to!

Salmon Leap · 23-10-2014 3:14pm

Adnam's Ghost Ship pale ale available in Aldi for a limited time. Had this in England during the summer. Not bad at €1.99 / 500ml bottle.

Should be drank as fresh as possible, you should go home immediately and drink it!

themountainman · 23-10-2014 3:17pm

I should really start bringing them to work to be honest.

Never come across this before, did you get it in Ireland?

cletus van damme · 24-10-2014 7:54am

Yeah bought it in the Lord mayors in swords.
Was kinda random buy as I went in with another in mind.

Andre Salmon · 24-10-2014 1:27pm

I had a couple of bottles of white hag last night. An IPA & a wit.
Both lovely. Still have an oktoberfest left.
Hoping that the white ipa appears soon

themountainman · 24-10-2014 2:11pm

Ended up having a few Vietnows from the tap in P.Mac’s, very good. Not so much the Brooklyn Lager on tap there though.

drumswan · 24-10-2014 2:30pm

Picked up the Brewdog Russian Doll series and a 750ml bottle of the Cockagee cider

What beer are we drinking this week, too?
