    That's the one. Disappointed with the place, I ended up getting some beer from New Zealand, half way through I noticed it was over 6 months out of date.

    I had settled on the Bull and Castle as I can go to a GBB pub in Galway anytime but i just found out there is a rugby game on Sunday which come complicate things a bit.
    Ring The Back Page and reserve a seat/screen to watch it on. It's a 15 minute walk from the Bull & Castle, tops.

    The date on beer is indicative rather than proscriptive - if it tasted dodgy there's a problem but otherwise 6 months isn't horrendous.

    Last time I was in 12th Lock (last summer) they had at least two O'Hara's on tap, and some other Irish ones in bottles. Plus bottles of German and Belgian beer.

    Pity is was a good spot of a pint of O'Hara's pale and amber.

    It was the summers since I was there, looks like that might have changed :(

    Horrible place anyway, went for food with my young son one day last november and they couldn't have made it clearer that they would tolerate kids through gritted teeth.

    There's another place, the 13th Lock in Sallins, that looks like it's making a good fist of having a decent craft selection.

    Bad form of them, was never mad about the food. Just somewhere local that had a craft offering

    I understand that, but it's inexcusable in a bar. I never tasted this one previously to know if it tasted normal or off.
    Off licences will, well my local one anyway, sell off out dated beers at a discount and will inform you of the fact. I've had no problems buying stuff like this.

    It was before that, probably a reason why I never returned since.
