No.

Heinekens , Carlsbergs Coors etc have been brewing for hundreds of years. They are the biggest selling beers in the world. They must be doing something right.

And you dont sound like a twat ordering it.

A pint of plumbers precum.

I have drank Moosehead before. Is that a craft beer?

No. Moosehead isnt craft

I adore a draught Harp when I’m over the border. Some refreshing twang off it.

Tesco stock Brooklyn Lager. It's a pretty good beer.

Is Sam Adams Boston Lager available in Ireland?

Tesco would have IPA by Founders, Sierra Neveda and Lagunitas. You'd get more stuff by those brewers in off licences that do craft beer.

Be careful with hoppy beers. The hops fade after a few months, especially Lagunitas beers. They will tase much sweeter than when they are fresh.

I've heard it's in some places South but I've never come across it in pubs recently, all Heino and Carlsb

Bass was a pretty good drink.

I think there's a drink for certain scenarios. I love beer, every type. I love a double hopped grapefruit infused pale ale, a 10% imperial stout, a German weissbier, a Belgian tripel, but all when I'm having 3 or 4 beers at home. If I'm out with the lads I'll have a Guinness or a Smithwicks or a Heineken. It's not about snobbery, it's drinking what you like at a given time!

Dundalk is your only spot in the south majority of pins have it on tap

It’s delicious, fûcking delicious, tasty and refreshing. I’ve never seen it in a pint bottle or on draught though here anyway, in England yes.



Anyone seen or tried this ^^^. I haven’t but I’m imagining it could be delicious.

That's bollox! While Rockshore isn't exactly classy stuff, it's far superior to Budweiser, not that Bud is as bad as many here make out.

We've come a long way from the Guinness. Smithwicks and Harp pumps and now we are going many different ways and lager snobbery is alive and well if this thread is anything to go by.

Rockshore and Hop House 13 are mainly about diageo avoiding having to pay bud licencing fees.

It was ok. They changed the recipe, made it stronger and more orangey. Not mad about beers with fruit added, too much and its too fruity not enough and what’s the point.

Grayditch

The Thomas House on Thomas Street has Harp on tap.

Peroni is a lovely brew, tried Moretti recently and that is delicious too, very smooth.

Big fan of the regular Sierra Nevada pale ale, but didn't like Sidecar at all. It led me to the conclusion that orange and beer don't mix.

I thought this was a funny troll. After seeing the replies I think I was wrong.

The Guinness West Indies Porter is good. It has a nice malty taste.

Mullingans in Stoneybattet have it. I didn’t like it much at all but I’m not really a fan of fruit beers.

Heineken ( in Ireland) is piss, and for me a 1 way ticket to heartburn central. Everywhere else it’s fine and an acceptable larger to drink.

In Ireland Heineken is 4.3%

Everywhere else in the world it’s 5%

So whatever they’ve done to it to reduce its alcohol content in Ireland makes it undrinkable to me.


Bud, Coors, Miller - no thanks I’d rather have a coke or a tea if they were the only beers on offer.

Carlsberg - fine, and drinkable.

Corona - fine ( but only with a slice of lime in it, without, its undrinkable!!)

Germany - best beers out there.

Honourable mention - Lithuania - Svyturis Ekstra - an excellent larger that I drank regularly in the 18 months I was living there.

I get terrible acid reflux from alcohol free beer. Wonder if it's related.

Heineken is a really good beer, Erdinger is a great beer and Calsberg is pisswater

I would agree, just as long as you’re not drinking it in Ireland where it’s only 4.3%

That are not readily available here to mass market.

All the well known American beers are poor. The obscure ones could be good but I've never had them or came across them.

What would you recommend?

Love a few blue moons. Especially on tap.
