Irish Craft Beer Festival - St.Patrick's Week

I couldn't actually find the ATM - the modem for it was on the wall with all the warnings about staff having no access but the ATM itself wasn't there.


Something I've only remembered now - Rye River seemed to have sixteen taps on their stand and I could only recognise one as not being one of theirs (Innis & Gunn head on it). Definite case of needing to get one thing right first...

The ATM was on the way to the toilets by the front door. It was in its own little room. People were using it all weekend. Unless it was taken away between Saturday and Tuesday.

Rye River had a bunch of stuff that wasn't theirs. Two Innis & Gunn as well as 4 Coisbo taps. That still leaves 10 of their own beers, an impressive number. Trouble actually had more with 12 taps, two of which were cask hand pumps.

Trouble aren't considered to make an overly large variety of mediocre product though (the opposite, in fact)...

Ah, I see where you are going with this

I recall the days where 12 taps would constitute a beer festival. It wasn't that long ago either.

Did Rye River have the same specials they had at the Alltech festival? The Brown, Berliner Weisse and DIPA were excellent there.

Are there plans to bottle and sell them as a new brand I wonder?

None I believe yet, but a variation of the Brown is pouring in the 57th Headlines as "Old Grocers Brown"

Thanks.

Another day trip to Dublin to be planned so!
