200 fathoms in the fridge in Molloys on Francis St.

The rest of you can stay away from it!
. Had a **** day today and have subsequently failed dry January.
But I failed good with a can of Lineman Giganticer. A great barrell aged stout, and the year round availability really increases its cred.

Put in another order in Craftdirect.ie, this time stout heavy, and while I'm staying away from all those ridiculous sounding pastry stouts, i did go for Boundary's chipotle stout and Firestone walkers cherry stout, as well as load of brown ales.

Really want some smoked beer or rauchbier, but most places sold out. i see beercloud do them, but not shipping bottles at the moment due to a cardboard shortage.

One for next week so! Cheers!

that with a rich sherry based whiskey would be beautiful, the same way a nice smoky scotch is lovely with a nice rich stout.

Thanks! How quickly do they deliver?

Seems to be some Fatal Deviation up on the Whiplash site now.

Was gonna pull the trigger on a couple. But I have some 200F still there and at 15 a can and with less than stellar reviews here I decided against.

Was thinking about doing same tomorrow (to fill out the order to the minimum 6 can requirement), but like yourself - hard to justify €15 a pop when I still have 200 Fathoms (x 3 - I bought into the hype with the box set!) plus a couple more barrel aged stouts from the Christmas to finish out.

My order two weeks ago probably took 3 days from ordering. Not sure about Blackrock Cellar for delivery times or how far they will deliver

The third release is a Schwarzbier.

Order placed for the 3 new releases, plus a can each of Bone Machine, Body Riddle & Rollover. Had hoped to get a can of the Disco Mystics but it's off their webshop now. Couldn't bring myself to splash out on their barrel aged effort.

Pulled the trigger on the mixtape #3 dark beer as Melody Noir has been on the wish list for a bit, and I've liked any smoked beer, and scharwzbeir, I've had.

Well deserved in my opinion, unreal beer.

For those of us who were lucky enough to enjoy the Mother Mac's Christmas box, they had all three (gold, silver, bronze) beers in their box, the lads have good taste!

Is there a link to the submitted beers? Just out of interest. Didn't get the Porterhouse one, but the other two medal winners well deserved.

Would also love to see who submitted what.

Missed out on Porterhouse's stouts, but had the silver & bronze medallists in the past, both super.

Fair play to whiplash, scrapped in before 12 (for same day dispatch), arrived to Wicklow this morning before 10!

Tried some thumper last night, just lovely stuff

They are miles ahead of the likes of white hag

I dunno if I would say miles, but I love Kinnegar, I can't remember a bad beer I have had from them, or one I wouldn't return to. Black bucket is a sensational Black IPA.

Thumper is a deadly Double IPA, and most times you get it for 3 euro in Craft Central, which is probably the biggest bargain for a beer of the quality that you will get.

Not forgetting Scraggy and Rustbucket, which I drink unholy amounts of, and usually have a stock of in.

Rust bucket would be a staple of mine but black bucket on another level
Thing with Kinnegar is the specials are actually nice and balanced too not just lucky dip novelty ****e, just a more mature feeling all round from their marketing through to packaging and actual liquid.

Been quite a long time since i had any kinnegars. That will change this weekend.

Black Bucket is up there with one of the best beers I've had (albeit coming from a low sample size relative to most everyone else). Which reminds me, I should pick up one next time I see it.

Their Brewers at Play series is a lot of fun. Some weird, unique, experimental runs. All very well made, and none veering into gimmicks.

Big fan of Kinnegar. Scraggy and Rustbucket are two of my favourite beers, but Black Bucket is hard to beat. Can't wait to see what comes out of their wild beer set up in Rathmullan!

the beer revolu

It's the monthly Kinnegar love in!
At least I didn't start this one!

Had a couple of cans of Just Because DIPA from Brehon last night, lovely beer and love the new branding the brewery have now.

The Cherry sour they released was good, can't beat Big Bunny though.
Although, Double bunny is delicious as well.

Stuck with my local petrol stations slightly baffling selection, because I had forgotten I was off tomorrow and could stay up later.

Their craft options are O'Haras DIPA, O'Haras Hop Adventure series, O'Haras OpSession, McGargles Francis, McGargles Rosies and that's basically it. Its been the same, bar the Hop Adventures changing when the hop changes, for four years.

But they're all in the fridge, which is what counts. Hop Adventure Centennial is still working well.
