Very nice too

If anyone is heading to this today try Beoir #2 and Black's Hi Vis before they are gone. Definitely highlights of the festival.

The pistachio and vanilla porter was excellent. High vis was very good too, wasn't in there long enough to try more unfortunately.

Says on their facebook page all cask pints are €2.50 today :eek::eek:

Gonna head down in a little while.

Had an enjoyable couple of hours there yesterday.
Dungarvan blonde was the best of what I had...followed by Mountain Man Green Bullet
Metalman Pale Ale, Rising Sun Changeling decent...
wasn't too impressed with Torc's 5 Malt Dark Ale.

Arrived early and unfortunately gone before the prices dropped to 2.5 a pint.:(

Didn't know there was 2...
The listing that Fran Well put up on Fri has "Dungarvan Helvic Gold 4.7%"...
If it helps, I had it about 4pm on Sun and nearly certain that it was still listed the same.
Sorry...

There was no indication posted up that there was anything different about the casks. I suppose it was written on the barrel somewhere.

Bit of a missed opportunity there

The Kinsale Model T Stout was absolutely gorgeous! Beer of the evening for me.
