    Havin' a bottle of Tyskie now, never had it before. I quite like it :).

    I agree. I had my first bottle in Scotland albeit 6.2%, a little higher than our own but very nice. Quite easy to drink, rather pleasant.


    I'm currently having a nice cold bottle of Samuel Adams. 355ml, oddball Americans. I assume it has something to do with their FL oz system of measurements.

    My default lager, I love it! You can usually pick up five 500ml bottles in lidl / aldi for 10e

    Just back from Mulligans, had a Metalman Windjammer, kind of disappointed, nice flavour but a little on the thinner side, Trouble Dark Arts was lovely though, strong roasted barley flavour.

    Stopped by the Porterhouse in Bray last night. Sadly no guest beers, just the usual Porterhouse assembly.
    Hersbrucker - lovely hoppy goodness
    Porterhouse Red - a little dull (almost too well balanced), but a fine beer nonetheless.
    Finished up with a Brainblasta which isn't as good as I remember. Found it a lot sweeter and more syrupy then the last time I sampled it. I presume it would be made to exacting identical standards, and it's just my interpretation of the beer that has changed?

    Had some Fyne Ales Highlanders last night, a very tasty, malty ale with a citrus hops finish

    Drinking an Adnams Innovation at the moment, kind of disappointed after the great reviews I read on here. It's nothing amazing in my eyes. Reminds me a lot of Leffe Blonde.
    Also this week I tried O'Haras's Leann Follain (excellent), Fuller's Discovery (pretty nice), and Clotworthy Dobbin (excellent). Also have a bottle of Fyne Ales Vital Spark waiting for me. Not a bad beer week.

    It once was a great beer but I believe the most recent batch unfortunately had an issue.
    This thread has more details and a post from the brewer.

    Bierhaus in Cork is doing a summerfest. I thoroughly enjoyed the BrewDog Bitch Please(fun to order loudly at the bar, certainly!). But what surprised me was that they have Rothaus beers in. I haven't seen that stuff since I visited my then-girlfriend on ERASMUS in Freiburg 8 years ago. A marvelous trip down memory lane, try some while you can!

    Bath Ales Golden Hare, love it in this weather.

    An ale with a slight zesty an a hint of caramel. Perfect for a sunny day.

    Last night, I enjoyed a Hoegaarden in The Odean (good value at €4), a Headless Dog in the Ocean bar, and a Blue Moon in Sweeneys pub. Things are definitely looking up in terms of choice.

    Speaking of beerfests in Cork, the Fran Well is having their summerfest this weekend. The menu that they have on their facebook page looks pretty empty so I'm hoping that there will be a bigger selection when I get in there.

    Did anybody make it to the Bloom Festival in the Phoenix Park this weekend?

    All those Irish crafty bastards were there in force:D

    Or beer from Trouble was my favourite. Worth mentioning that the boys from Hooker are putting a big effort to get their beer to the next level. Well done lads!

    Having a Meantime Pale Ale at the moment. Meh Meh Meh. Initially no smell and taste but once it warmed up there's a slight citrus and malt flavour with ever so slight bitterness. Not overly impressed with Meantime beer in general. Have a couple more of their beers to try but holding out for anything special.

    Weißenoher Benediktiner Pils Premium
    A nice hoppy beer with a light malt taste. Again another summer beer that would go down well in hot weather.

    Having a Fyne Ales Avalance tonight (working my way through the range that the Wine Centre in Kilkenny recently got in). Looks a lot like a lager in the glass, but it's very tasty, very nicely hopped and one of the most refreshing and thirst quenching beers I've ever tried. Great on a summer's day I'd say. Today however, was nothing like a summer's day. Decent beer all the same.

    London Pride - I always like this beer, no matter what the mood. Perfect reward for a long run.
