What beer are we drinking this week, too?

Insect Overlord

I'm rediscovering weißbiers this week. Had an Erdinger Dunkel on Sunday, half a Weissbier last night, and trying their Kristall for the first time this evening. Makes for a very refreshing change from my usual ales and porters.

It certainly is!

Tried posting pics earlier but I can't get it to work for some reason.

Gasworks near Grand Canal train station is savage for beer being a Galway Bay pub.

I just had Aikau amber ale which imo is a really good sessionable Amber pretty heavily hopped.

I then had a full sail IPA as I've never had it on draft which to be fair was slightly disappointing after the Amber. I think the Amber was more heavily hopped oddly enough which tarnished my tastebuds slightly. Still a good beer and I normally really like it from the bottle but the Amber had me spoilt I reckon.

Lastly I had change of the gaurd.
This is immense, triple red IPA at 11%. What a beer!! Just wow.

In other news I had their burger which was grand for a bit of soakage. Nothing special but decent at the same time.

Not a bad end to a Wednesday

Mikkeller black imperial stout, 15%, very very good. What I'd give to try a bourbon aged version of this!

Manager special Corvus stout in blanch spoons. €1.95 a pint. Must be getting dropped as its no longer on the menu.
2 pints for under 4 quid, now that's value.

Got four bottles of mcgargles 'francis big bangin IPA' here in Galway for 10 euro. Hoppy taste and considering its 7.1% is surprisingly easy on the throat!! Got a foam and fury too as a finisher after :-D

This is more of a "what do we want to drink this week" type question but has anyone had the 200 Fathoms stout by Galway Bay?

Absolutely. Strong but to be sipped, savoured and enjoyed. Last one I had lasted me an hour but that was sheer willpower ;-)

Or 7 if you're a schneaky fecker.

I thought 10 for 4 was good value?? If you're getting 4 for 8, hats off :-)

My local Dunnes was showing the ravages of that last weekend - there'd been so much swapping of bottles from the promo packs that there were actual Francis packs with random bottles in them.

I got more joy of walking into drinkstore and spotting magic rock cans than the Beavertown event, although it was well ran and ye got looked after.

I just can't justify their price point anymore.

To be fair there were 2 Berliner Weisses that took what, a year of aging, a sour that took probably 18 months, an Imperial Coffee stout, an imperial IPA and a 7% IPA with blood oranges. That's hardly your run of the mill line-up.

While there I had a flick through their regular menu and they had 200 fathoms for an eye watering €15.90.

Having a pint of nailed it in the porterhouse. Liking this one a lot!

O'Hara's 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout. Proper, proper stuff.

Chuppa Siopa

Kinnegar Rustbucket and Liverpool....incredible

Anyone tried GBB's new blackberry IPA, Beneath the Brambles?

Sounds interesting.

BeerNut

Yeah. Not a fan. But fruit-flavoured IPAs rarely do it for me.

Got some in Martin's last week but haven't opened it yet. How would it compare to other imperial stouts such as 200 fathoms or founders etc?

Have a 20% discount as result so bought scatter of stuff this evening, including Dog E, Die another Day, Elvis Juice and Monk Hammer.

Looking forward to the delivery arriving!
