I tasted it a year ago and wanted to see how in might change - didn't notice much difference.

I now realise there is something more irritating than somebody saying "do you know what you should do"....

it's... "do you know what you should have done"

Welp, really I'm just jealous.


But I have a bottle each of Russian River Pliny the Elder and Consecration and one of my friends award winning hazelnut stouts coming soon

Any good craft beer stocking off licenses near Dame St, Dublin, lads?

I'm looking for a few 8 Degrees porters and maybe some Dungarvin Black Rock stout, but I'll be in town between 6 and 10. Dunno where I''d find them in town.

Nip out to Drinkstore in Stoneybatter

Yeah, tis a little far from where I'll be, but sure I might hop in a taxi if it means I can finally try Anchor Porter and a few others.

Don't forget to go into L. Mulligan Grocers

I had a bottle of Bateman's Mocha beer the other night. It's sweet, creamy and very chocolatey with just a slight hint of coffee flavour. Smells like a chocolate milkshake. Not something you'd drink too often, but I really enjoyed it.

Gooseberry

Just finished a 750ML of White Gypsy Dopplebock. 7.5%. Very very good.

Tonight I had the following.

1 bottle of Anchor Porter (personal favourite).
A Fullers "old winter ale" which I thought was lovely.
A pint of Purity Ubu Amber from the cask, which I though was decent and probably the best I'd had from purity (their pale and golden were pretty ****).
I also halved a 70cl bottle of Meantime London Porter which was nice but not spectacular.

I also had a few of the Galway Bay beers.

All in all, a nice night of watching the rugby and talking ****e with the locals!

stuchyg

Just back from london where I visited the pilot inn while waitingnon a concert. Had the following on cask. London pride, jack frost wintwr ale, chiswick bitter, esb and a glass of honey dew

Then had a pint of greene king ipa on cask in stansted airport on the way home

Had some friends around last night and we got through a few big bottles!



The litre bottle was a home brew - India Saison

Not beer but I like this bottle so much I decided to put it up here - a Magnum of 1996 Borolo I've been keeping for about 7 or 8 years. Had this with dinner before al the beer!

Fullers India Pale Ale it's one of my go to beers when I can't be bothered looking for a new beer.

Something extra special tonight. Sipping on a Rogue XS Imperial I2PA.

Amazeballs!

The bottle is pretty Amazeballs too.

Colonel Sanders

Sipping a bottle of Leann Follain

Never lets me down. Simply a beautiful stout

Had a bottle of the White Gypsy Imperial Stout tonight. Thought it was nicer tonight than the last time I had it, possibly because I didn't have the expectation from before

Still not the best of the style but a tasty enjoyable beer and I would get it again.

By "normal stuff" do you mean pub pints?

Only had foreign extra for the 1st time very recently but it's far nicer than what passes as a pint in most pubs these days

Heroditas

Probably tuck into my bottle of White Gypsy pale ale later.
Still a bit tender after the work Christmas party on Friday. Lunch with lots of wine followed by too much Sierra Nevada Torpedo.
Ouch

Anyone in Cork know where you can get bottles of White Gypsy beers? I've only ever had their beers on draught, never seen it in off licences.

Herb Powell

Really?? I'd be in there fairly often, never noticed it! Must have a proper look tomorrow

Nice smooth beer. Very subtle Oak aftertaste. Quite sweet flavour too.
I've a highland cask lined up next. Expect more oomph from it but hope its not too 'peaty'

Lovely Bloke

Spent the night in the Hole in The Wall last night.

They are really very good down there, pretty good range of bottles for sale in their off licence, which you can buy for €5 to drink in the pub.

I had both Chorca Dhuibhne beers, the ale and stout. Something from Ridgeways called Rudolf's Revenge, a Clotworthy Dobbin, a Black Rock from Dungarvan and an Adnam's Innovation.

Wife was drinking O'Hara's Winter Star.

Colonel Sanders

I've a Fullers India Pale Ale cooling in the fridge.

Heading for a walk & I'll finish off my weekend with it before a relatively early night.
