    Haven't seen it bottled in ages. Have you tried Bradley's on North Main Street or the Abbot's Ale House on Devonshire Street?

    No sign on Bradley's site, but will try Abbot Ale house too. Cheers. Hadn't thought of them

    With all due respect to Bradley's, I doubt any off licence in Ireland has a website that accurately reflects its beer stock. No. 21 on the corner of Devonshire Street would be worth a look when you're at the Abbot's.

    This is true, keeping all our stock up to date online would be more than a full time job. And we don't have creans.

    Dingle or Aer Lingus might be your best bets, failing the two shops mentioned.

    They dropped it and replaced it with Chieftan. Come back Tom, all is forgiven.

    Is Chieftan no good? Haven't tried it myself truth be told.

    I find it too sweet and soupy. It wasn't bad when it first came out but I think it has degenerated over the years.

    I've never seen it bottled anywhere - canned its slightly common. Supervalus are by their structure unreliable across stores but I've seen cans in some

    There were 33cl bottles once upon a time but I think they may have done a straight replace when they started canning.

    Yeah, I've definitely seen bottles before and can be found online - But not near me here.

    Supervalu had them, but they (Crean) changed distributor so don't get into Supervalu any more (Well that's what I was told anyway)

    They're not available for a long time now. We were told it was bottling issues, but that was last year & we haven't been able to get it since. We were also told they were concentrating on the keg side of things for the on-trade.

    I'm in Kerry but I'm sure they will be back in most off licences.
