the beer revolu

The Abbot's Ale House has opened a bar over the off licence!
It's what you might call a work in progress.
As you might expect, there's a huge range of bottled beers with more to come, some very unusual spirits, and an few guest taps.
No guinness!
Only tap lager is Bavaria.

There is now a nice little North Channel Beer Tour.
Franciscan Well - Bierhaus - Abbot's - Sin É - Corner House

PS ask them in Sin É to stock Weihenstephaner Dunkel

My uncle used to run it for a while when it was called The Black Stuff.

the beer revolu

The history as far back as I recall is:

It was (I think) The Devonshire Arms
Around '96 or '97 Barry Fitzgerald took over and opened Rumplestiltskin's.
After a few years Barry gave it up and it became The Black Stuff for a few years.
Then sometime around 2001 Barry took over the lease again and opened The Abbot's Ale House as a bar.
This didn't take off and it was changed into an off licence before too long.
2008 the upstairs is reopened as a specialist beer bar.

I'm a Corkman living in Limerick (city) and now how I long to return to my home county! I lived in London and Wales for many years and yearn for some real ale: it's just Beamish or Guinness here...
