O briens best beer

How Soon Is Now

Two closest off licence s to me in Citywest are Dunnes and O Briens the latter mostly having the much better selection.

I find when I'm in there most weeks I always end up with the same German wheat beers or either laqunitas or Sierra Nevadas range.

I think I've went threw most of whats normally on the shelfs but is there anything in particular that really stands out?

Beer I go for normally would be something with a nice crisp bite or a nice full hoppy flavour without leaving an ever lasting taste in your mouth.

Don't really drink stout or red ale unless I'm using them as an ingredient.

I've tried 5 or 6 of them. I'll have to look later see what they have. Thanks for the list!

The beers from Belgium seem to be hit and miss in the local o briens. Used up drink fair bit of duvel and one other I can't remember but found they started to taste really odd.

O Briens in CityWest is one of the poorer branches for selection IMO, although I don't go regularly to be fair.

On the odd time I go to Molloys in Tallaght Village, which would be localish as well for you by the sound of it, they have had a very good selection.

Ya there average in citywest do the job picking up few beers now and again. That molloys is fairly good actually was there few months ago they had few things I hadn't seen elsewhere.

Ended up heading out to Martins in Fairview the other day. I've only ever ordered online from them but amazing selection out there wish it was closer!!

I think I might of seen it in Citywest the odd time. Actually only tried it once or twice but remember getting bottle one day in drink store I think it's called in Stoneybatter and wasn't fan of it at all. Dunno if was that particular bottle cause the rest beer I got at time wasn't great either.
