    Evil Twin Ashtray Heart. The only smoked beer I've had was Schlenkerla, so I was expecting something closer to that, but this is more lightly smoked which allowed the taste of the beer to come through better imo. Very tasty.

    Kinnegar Bucket and Spade, excellent and very drinkable.

    Lots and lots of homebrew dunkel. Had a bbq yesterday and nearly depleted my entire stash. Belgian Summer Ale on deck in a few weeks. First brew of the year, hope I'm not too rusty.

    Galway Bay - Acid Mother

    Lovely sourness off this with a sharp lime aftertaste. Lovely beer for a sunny afternoon.

    YellowBelly - Where Wally (yes, I know..)
    great beer, ..lovely and refreshing

    Founder - Dirty Bastard.
    Got this bottle recently, but have reason to suspect it was out of date since late last year, i knew that when buying it....WOW...I like DB in date, but this is way better...need to stock up and put a few away for a year.

    And union - Sunday.
    nice pale ale without being anything special

    Drinking Buxton's DIPA, Kingmaker. It's fantastic. Huge taste of orange peels to start then it mellows out to a really soft but full bodied apricot. Lots of malt, nice bitterness and the 10.5% alcohol is completely masked. A winner.

    Walla Walla from Kinnegar. Really nice. Just a touch of sourness with some lovely spice from the ginger

    Any of you visited the Guinness Open Gate Brewery yet?

    I presume there's no way of seeing what beers they have on?

    Thread on it here.

    Don't think they post their beer list online but you could keep an eye on Untappd check-ins to see what people have recently had there.

    Are they fresh? A bar in Derry got them in but I was suspicious and it was too busy to ask to see the best before dates.

    Guessing so, round 1 was only a few days old when they arrived. They are appearing on twitter from the usual off license

    IPA and Arrogant Bast*rd again, or some new ones?

    I saw big cans of Arrogant Bastard nearby recently. Is it worth trying?

    I'm enjoying a Caribbean Chocolate Cake this evening.

    A couple of people told me (against my better judgement) try McGargles Francis’ Big Bangin’ IPA. "No, this one is really good" they said.

    Lies.

    but...it is! It's the only decent McGargles I've had.

    It didn't feel good in my mouth, and that's primarily the place I need it to feel good.

    Not this discussion again, it IS widely regarded as very nice, hard to find an IPA at such strength with such flavour for that price.

    I wasn't involved in any discussion about it, so I'm gonna go ahead and give my two cents on it now. Not for me.

    Nah that's fair enough. I was very skeptical when I was first handed it myself. Can't remember the mouthfeel being strange so you may have had a bad bottle.

    Very possible. It's happened before with beers. Not ruling out giving it another go at some stage, I guess but I was getting some very musty flavours especially towards the end.

    Neither Francis nor Rosie keep well. Even within a couple of months of bottling they start to lose their essential hop character.
