What beer are we drinking this week ?

Had some Innis & Gunn earlier. It was ok but wasn't impressed by it.

Having a Brooklyn Lager now and it's very nice

I just has a Delirium Tremens and then a Delirium Nocturnum.
The Tremens was absolutely delicious, but the Nocturnum wasn't my cup of tea. It has some complex flavours going on, and I can definitely see its appeal, but alas it's not for me.

I'll report of Innis &Gunn Rum Cask tomorow.

Monteith's Original Ale and Celtic Red Beer.

Montheith's turns out to be a New Zealand Brewery and I was pleasently surprised to find their range in my Local Harvest and delighted to see their 330ml bottles were priced at €1.80 each ... sounded good so I had to give them a try. And even got 6 for €10. There was 5 in the range available but I got 2 of each of the Ale the red and the stout. Was not overly interesting in their larger and pilsner.

So far Monteith's Original Ale and Celtic Red Beer.

Neither are overly hopped but both seem rich and silky which for me really works. The Celtic Red is borbering on sweet but there's a nice smokiness to it ??? The Ale is a real smooth ale but comes across with plenty of rewarding complexity.

I was very tempted to go for a few Sierra Nevada's as I love that big American hop punch but I'm really glad I tried these and if they are a regular feature I think I'll be getting more :cool:

The Original Ale is finished and half way through the Celtic Red and it is now being joined by a very complimentry Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Now half way through

Not the bottled version, but it's decent on draught.

Finally got around to drinking the bottle of broadside the other day and I found it very decent. Most get my hands on some more Adnam's stuff.

Also had a bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale the other day and really enjoyed it, but funnily enough, I didn't really like it the 1st time I tried it

Picked up a selection of beers yesterday in Deveneys including Augustiner Dunkel. Had it last night and really enjoyed it. Not as dark as some dunkels, more a rich amber colour. Very flavoursome and not too high a vol at 5.6%

Innis & Gunn Rum Cask is an amazing beer, but I don't think there's much more of it left around.

Also, Chimay Bleu is amazing. Has some of that last night.

Just discovered a crate of Tetley's Bitter in my parents' basement. They must have picked it up last time they went up north. It's not going to set the world alight, but it's a damn fine drink nonetheless.

The Odell IPA was also excellent.

Was drinking perlenbacher last saturday night and its slowly growing on me.

Setun

Having a few Grimbergen's tonight - not too bad at all. Very crisp, with a fruity aroma. There's a few cans of Hertog Jan pilsener in the fridge too, not too bad either but more of a summery beer imo - both would be fantastic refreshments on a hot day. :cool:

33" Export

Bought two cases in France recently for €11 or something. Horrid stuff but I need to get rid of it I guess.

Shopping this week will consist of Erdinger in Tesco.

I may interest some of you to know that I am a Sales Rep for the Erdinger Distributor in Ireland, Noreast.(Amongst many other brands)

Obviously I'm not trying to sell my product here because its trade customers only but you can always have a look at the product list and see where from the brand / ambassador outlets on the website where they can be bought around your area.

Get more bars to stock the Dunkel!!

Don't you get your beer at staff prices from work?

Yes and no but at the very last minute my local supermarket will do just fine.

Speaking of Dunkel. I was in Westbeer in Glasgow last weekend and had a nice Dunkel made on site.

Very nice. If you are in Glasgow the bus tour goes right passed the Winter Palace, jump off and its right next door.

Very hard to find in Limerick.

Any suggestions where to find Zelta off trade?

Last night I was drinking Cantillon Gueze and Kriek, and a bottle Struise-Mikkeller Elliot Brew, which is definately 100% one of the very best beers I have ever tasted, super stuff altogether.
