    There was definitely something going on that didn't feel right and maybe because I haven't had great experiences with McGargles, I didn't give it the benefit of the doubt. Warrants another go, I'm sure.

    Fresh Rosie on tap is also a decent beer.

    Northern Monk - Communion
    Nice heavy citrus taste off this, nice level of bitterness without being too bitter. Was looking at the logo on this thinking that they robbed the Opeth logo, did a little google and realized it was a collaboration brew. One of the better band/brewery collaboration brews i've had.

    Stone - Ruination
    Big scent off this. Getting a huge grapefruit whack up front with a lovely lingering bitterness.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I love Ruination. Does anyone know if McHughes on the Malahide Road have any?

    Starting a 4 day weekend with Go To IPA, I prefer this to their regular IPA tbh, have the other 2 chilling in the fridge along with Little Fawn cans, but they're for a wedding tomorrow.

    Siren - Tschuss
    Loving this. Really refreshing. Really forward orange and blueberry scent with strong fresh mint aftertaste. Sound like a horrible combo but its delicious.

    All beers start to lost their hoppiness straight away. We have been spoilt with super fresh Francis, that as it losses it's hoppiness we notice, except people only seem to comment when it's McGargles!

    Stone go to IPA is rather delicious. Same for the double but I'd rather the session. Canned on the 13 and 14th of July..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,972 ✭✭✭Trond


    Wasnt impressed with the Stone IPA in Mulligans.

    Had a few Full Irish on tap last night, top class!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,748 ✭✭✭✭Lovely Bloke


    Had a Stone IPA can there, lovely and fresh tasting still.

    Just opened a Púca, White Hag Lemon Sour. Top notch.

    RIP Oliver Hughes.

    2016 Hoptimum - nice but nothing spectacular. Would have prefered a King Maker.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,638 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    Echoing the praise for Stone (Ruination and IPA).

    Having a Lagunitas Aunt Sally. Not a style I usually drink but it's enjoyable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 768 ✭✭✭Uncle_moe


    Siren Tidal wave, another cracking beer from these guys.
    Stone Go To was decent but better session IPAs out there.
    Happy Days IPA on tap was quite nice if you're looking for something light.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,139 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    Little Fawn in can format.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,196 ✭✭✭MonkstownHoop


    Little Fawn in can format.

    Had a few in powerscourt hotel on Friday, brought them myself of course

    May not be the the correct place to ask but, can anyone advise what craft beers are currently on offer in Harry Byrne's in Clontarf at the minute if any? Haven't been there in years and will be there Saturday afternoon for a few.


  • Registered Users Posts: 596 ✭✭✭minterno


    Just cracked open a bottle of 'kasteel rouge at 8%, first time I have tried it, its a cherry beer I think, very nice but a bit sweet and just the one would do you, reminds me a little of the Swedish pear cider, a bit too sweet but very nice taste

    You can't go wrong with the place really.

    Wood Key launched there, but I haven't seen anything from them in there since.

    Kinnegar Scraggy Bay
    Eight Degrees Full Irish
    Hope something (Pale Ale)

    the last time I was in

    Pulp Fusion Blood Orange IPA, Boulder Brewing Company : lovely orange zest flavour and hints of caramel. It's 6.5% and too easy to drink.

    Fruit flavoured IPA's seem to be the thing here in North Dakota at the moment. Here for another week so will try get through as many as possible!

    Salt House in Galway had it months ago so maybe the other Gbb's have it.

    Just settling in for the evening. Started on a Bo Bristle Amber Ale, which was lovely. Now on a Clever Man Amber Ale, not so yummy. Can't put my finger on why though


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,196 ✭✭✭MonkstownHoop


    Just seen its IPA day, IPA it is so!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,691 ✭✭✭ciaran76


    Hoppy Bitch IPA - Northwest Brewing Company
    Malty at the beginning but then has a bit of a grassy flavour finishes of bitter and dry.
    Nice but moved onto something else.
