Goose Islands Honkers Ale

Anoeta · 24-08-2009, 15:19

Had this in the states last Xmas and thought it was nice. But bought a few bottles of it at the weekend and absolutely loved it. Im preferring the more English style ale's at the moment so thats probably the reason I enjoyed it far more this time around.

Anyone tried their Harvest Ale? Or see it for sale around Dublin?

The Honker's Ale is a fine beer alright, similar to Sam Adam's but better/nicer in my opinion. They have an India Pale Ale that is good quality, very hoppy so perhaps not to everyone's taste. Haven't had their Harvest Ale.

Deveneys in Dundrum are doing a decent range, probably the best range, of Goose Island beers: Two Belgian styles, Honkers Ale, IPA, Summer ale (Kölsch) but I don't remember seeing the Harvest Ale. I don't think I'd forget if I saw it either.
