You can buy nearly all of those in Foleys, they might sell them in the bar too? dunno if you'd get them on tap though.

Gillie

BTW. Are you planning on drinking them all that night?
Shall I call your ambulance now?

Nice one!! Just curious to know if they are available here to buy. There are quite a few gems on that list.

Bit of a derailment from the Sligo Boardsies Beers thread... although a very pertinent question.


Miller can be found on tap in McHugh's (Grattan st)
Hoegaarden can be found on tap in Furey's (Bridge st)
There's a Czech beer which I forget the name of on tap in the Stables (Wine st)

Apart from that most pubs have much of the same.

Is the Czech beer called "Budvar"? It was my favourite tipple when I was a drinker.

DenMan

Could very well be. Here a few Czech Beers I have tried in the past.

Nova Paka
Poutnik
Zatec
Bock

All get the thumbs up...:D

One Problem.

The tap is downstairs only.

If its very quiet they sometimes will go downstairs to get you one!

A new bar has opened beside the smoking area so I don't know if they put a miller tap there!

You can also get miller on tap in the Belfrey!

DenMan

Thanks Gillie. The Belfry is nice. Also the snooker tables upstairs, and the outside beer garden rules. (Embassy)

op, you've got to remember that this is sligo. we're atleast a year behind pubs in other parts of the country. places like mc garrigles have a great beer selection but the majority of places stick with the guinness, bud, heino, carlsberg, bulmers, smithwicks formula.

Thanks for the reply man. Just checking things out. Heineken seems very watered down to me anywhere I drink it. I like Carslberg, it's a strong beer, always keeps a good head.

These three can hardly be described as "beer" though, can they ?

You got me there buddy, I'm not sure what you mean. They are beers, nice ones at that too!!!

peasant

Well, we could argue about that ...but tastes are different and there also is a dedicated beer forum ...so I won't

Drag00n79

Budweiser nice!? Ah no... just no.

Xiney

Right - no more insulting people's tastes in beverage, that's for the users over at the beer forum!

You may show your appreciation for beers that are available in Sligo, or your desire that other worthy beers be brought into Sligo, but anything else has no place in this thread.

Final warning to keep it relatively on topic, ladies and gentlemen.

Well said Xiney, fair play to you.

Gonna pop down to Centa in Maugheraboy soon for a few brewskies!!!

Paulener on tap in Fureys

DenMan

Cheers for that redarmy. It is a real session beer. Good to see Fureys having some German beers on tap. Give it a try if you havn't already.

DenMan

Hi guys

I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so I put it here on my thread. It's a question regarding the Glasshouse.

First of all, it looks terrific, real cosmo. I am wondering what the extensive Beer menu is like there. I have only been there once, at a Birthday. There are two bars, one at the front entrance and another at the dining area. I am also wondering have many people tried the cocktail menu bar, and what did they try. I saw it listed on their website. This would be the perfect setting for our get-together, plenty of room and if anybody is traveling over, I hear the accommodation is quite inexpensive, unlike Dublin...:( What do you think?

Also please feel free to post any other drinks on this thread, it may say Beer but I will not be limiting it to just Beer. Thank you.

Well, Denman, I was in there about a month ago and after a few beerskis I ordered a White Russian of a young barman upstairs. I could see in his eyes he wasn't really sure but eventually I was handed what appeared like one. When I brought it down I tasted it and I was about to proclaim it to all and sundry as the weakest WR I ever had when I was tipped on the shoulder and another barman (the bar manager?, about 30?) said that doesn't look right and gave me another WR. He said this is a "real one". And it was savage. The older barman definitely knows his stuff but the younger lad I was dealing with wasn't great. Maybe he was only new or something.

DenMan

Thanks buddy.

Pulling pints of beer is one thing, but cocktails and Guinness should be left to the more experienced people, old skool guys/gals who know what they are doing. Anyone else been there recently?

Xiney

I'm gonna have one cocktail at the book club (an indulgence on minimum wage)

It had better be good!

Mint Sauce

anyone know where/if 'gosser' can be bought, does not have to be on tap, austrain beer, similar strenght to stella and krononburg 1664, had it in austria a few years ago and loved it, did inquire in foleys off licence a few weeks ago but they didn't stock it

DenMan

Hey man

Yep I had Gosser too, in Vienna. It is a nice beer. Had it in the restaurants and bars. Not sure if you can get it here in Sligo. I know that Cafe En Seine and The Baggot Inn in Dublin have it on tap. I would say maybe Galway would have it somewhere. I would have suggested Foleys might have it, but you tried there. Hardigans bar has re-opened, they might have it? Unlikely though. Try McGarrigles bar in O'Connell Street, they could be your best bet. They have stocked a lot of German beers there in the past.

redarmyblues

The cocktail list in the Glass is a 1980's nightclub/only fools and horses job. It is all umbrellas and slow comfortable screws against the wall. Not a chocolate martini in sight. I ordered a cocktail there and I was embarrased to be seen drinking it, a real Delboy effort and it tasted terrible, a blue lagoon I think it was called.

Paulener is now on tap in McGarrigles.

DenMan

You mean like the "Caribbean Stallion" he ordered before? or maybe "Malibu and Cherryade" and of course "Manhattan". Classic. Must try it out.

DenMan

Evening everybody. In for my first drink of the evening. Big game on in the Show Grounds tonight. Wonder whats on the bar menu in Mooneys tonight?

just alcohol i reckon, think they stop serving food about 6pm, might have to make to with a curry chip from 'its franks' chip van at the match

DenMan

Anybody pop into Mooney's after the game. Was a draw a fair result?

Mint Sauce

need to get this thread back on topic, will answer your question in the rovers thread denman

DenMan

Does anybody know whether the Czech beer Staropramen can be got in any of the bars here in Sligo. Been hearing rave reviews about it and would be a great addition to beer drinking here in Sligo.

BennyLava

Bemish Red on tap in McGuinnesses on Hight St

DenMan

Cheers Ben, whats it like? A strong ale?

DenMan

Had a pint of Staropramen in The Stables recently, very nice. Anybody else been trying any foreign beers recently?

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I had a Bishops Finger in McGaragles recently...

DenMan

Anybody been sampling the beers in Shenanigans, now that they are well and truly re-opened? What's the nicest?, and have they got a decent selection of foreign beers on tap? Hope so as I am eager to give them a try.

DenMan

Had a few Staro's in McGarrigles during the week. Very pleased to see it on tap outside Dub. However they chill it far too cold. It's not supposed to be served ice cold. Nice to see it here all the same.

redarmyblues

500ml bottles of Prasky 4.2% a czech beer from the Staropramen outfit is on sale in Fureys for a bargaain 3€

DenMan

Hey guys

What's Hargadons bar like? Been asked to go and have never been in it before? Is it in O'Connell St? What are the beers like on tap? Do they do Staropramen because I know McGarrigles does. Cheers.

-Great pub.
-Yes.
-Usual range of beer on tap, plus a few extras such as Hoegaarden
-Don't know

redarmyblues

McGarrigles has a new bottle beer menu featuring mostly belgian brews in large sizes.

DenMan

I must really try and get down to Hargadons bar very soon. It's sounds so cool. Picked up the Discover Sligo mag in the college yesterday and it has a page dedicated to it. It's like stepping back in time they say. How cool is that!!!

Redbrunette

Hi, I have a friend who's looking for Boddingtons beer, he can't find it anywhere in the south, I'm living in Sligo at the moment, anyone know if it available anywhere around?
