New to craft beers

karaokeman

Anyone know any good off licences in Dublin I can buy some decent craft beers?

Never tasted one before, but eager to start. Preferably cider.

Thanks,
Michael

In Dublin City?

The best off licence "in town" is probably Probus Wines on Fenian St.

There's Drinkstore in Stoneybatter, they have a pretty good online presence and deliver, but it's always worth a look around the shop.

Further afield, there's Sweeney's in Glasnevin and the two McHugh's shops (Artane & Kilbarrack)

I'll leave the Southside to someone else, as I'm unfamiliar with it.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Redmonds of Ranelagh are one of the best

Is Jack Carvills closed for good?

Moghead

Martin's in Fairview have a decent selection.

McHughs and Drinkstore get my vote.

Redmonds is probably best for a walk in and browse, but its considerably more expensive than the others.

Ravelleman

Devenneys is great but expensive like Redmonds.

Any O'Brien's have a very decent selection of craft beers, which if you like you'll find reasonably easy to find in some pubs about town too.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys/gals.

I saw one called "Blue Moon" in Maynooth earlier, which was labelled as a craft beer, but ingredients were not listed so I'm skeptical. Anyone know of it?

Made by the people who make Coors Light. It's not really considered to be "craft beer" and it's pretty boring.

Aldi sell O'Shea's Red, Stout and Pale Ale, which are made by Carlow Brewing Company and are a good way to try a few different styles without spending too much (think they're €1.89 a bottle).

Not listing ingredients is unfortunately quite common. Blue Moon is brewed by Coors. It's not a bad beer, though quite sweet for the style.

If its Cider you're after, Orpens, Stonewell Dry, Tempted and Rekorderling are my favourites!
