Only coming around from last night now...

There was a craft beer event in a hotel/bar in Derry. £10 entry and there were 25 beers available and you got about 100ml of each. Obviously I didn't make it through the lot and I was able to swap a few lager tokens for more ale. Drank a good bit of Cloghmore, Brewdog, 8 Degrees, O'Hara's and an interesting apple ale from Drygate, Glasgow. Helped Kinnegar out behind their bar for an hour or so and ended up going home with a mixed case of their beer as well. Not bad for a tenner.
:pac:

^ surely it would have been easy to get through them all for a total of 2.5L no?

It would depend on the %'s I'd imagine.

Only had about 4 hours and I was shovelling fancy hams and salami into me too. Some of the pours were more generous too.

Its a pretty good idea with the 100ml vouchers except like you said you end up wanting to avoid some

Ronan|Raven · 24-10-2014 7:54pm

Some Berliner Kindl that seems to have made a reappearance in Aldi.

Insect Overlord · 24-10-2014 11:21pm

Lads. Sierra Nevada's Narwhal is still one of the finest imperial stouts around.

Just back from the Franciscan well, lots of Belgian and German beers available. Augustiner Edelstoff on tap for the first time in ireland. Will be back there again tomorrow afternoon!

Oh cool, let us know what you think of the Russian dolls.

Drinking White Gypsy Garden's Wild Ale in Brewery Corner. Taking a break from the beer tent on Savour Kilkenny.

Nice. Mild nettles...

Passenger · 25-10-2014 6:22pm

Dungarvan Black Rock Stout

Nice head and carbonation. Slight roasted flavour.

Creamy Goodness · 25-10-2014 7:59pm

Heroditas · 25-10-2014 8:09pm

Starting off with a Fullers Past Masters Old Burton Extra.
After that I have a Trouble Whistle Blower and Sierra Nevada Hoptimum ready to go.

Probably one of the best value beers out there.

Creamy Goodness · 25-10-2014 8:13pm

Yup think I got it for $8 only wish I brought more home

I've got it for 4.50 maybe even 4. Usually around 5 (in the SF Bay Area).

Creamy Goodness · 25-10-2014 8:57pm

I bought it in an off license off Union square so that probably explains it. Still compare to irish beers and prices. It's a steal

gavmcg92 · 25-10-2014 8:57pm

Trying some Black's of Kinsale IPA. Not sure if I'm a fan. I'm getting a very salty taste from it. Had some Founders Breakfast stout before it and it was absolutely beautiful. Nice roasted, oaty taste to it.

CJhaughey · 25-10-2014 9:01pm

Charles Wells DNA New world IPA, after a 8º Howling gale ale from Ballyhoura, I prefer the 8º as it has more body.
Also been trying some Lava Rock from O'Briens this week.

Insect Overlord · 25-10-2014 11:24pm

Beer festival in Nancy Blake's (Limerick City) today. Started with Rogue's Dead Guy. Then Kenmare Irish Porter. Then St Austell's Big Job. Finished my night with a Stone Well medium dry cider. Lovely few hours, naturally.

Lovely Bloke · 26-10-2014 7:45am

Drank a Cloughmore Stout last night, I really like it.

Proper dry stout.

murphyebass · 26-10-2014 7:57am

I had a couple of bottles of Galway Bay stormy port last night. I wasn't expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. Lovely lovely drinkable porter. Will definitely be purchasing more this winter.

They really improved the recipe alright, great beer now.

I didn't have it on the old recipe but what it is now is very drinkable. 4 for €11 is a perfect price point too in my local offi

Lovely Bloke · 26-10-2014 11:05am

must give it a re-try myself, but whenever I go into TBD and I'm in the mood for a porter or stout I always find it impossible not to order a BAS.

There's no going back from that either, it's so flavoursome.

Ronan|Raven · 26-10-2014 11:23am

Had some Sheep Stealer in the headline last night then decided to check out blackbird in Rathmines. Good enough selection of beers on offer. Had some Vietnow IPA and then finished the night with White Hag's Imperial oatmeal Stout.
