    The Wolftrap have Franciscan Well Friar Weisse, Rebel Red and Chieftan IPA on draught, as well as Blue Moon (bleugh).

    This lot in bottles as well....

    So reading back over this thread, and from info gleaned elsewhere, the current state of play should be.

    Heritage Centre: Some craft on tap.
    Hugh Lynch's: One craft tap (at least).
    Copper Pot Still: Bo Bristle (according to Bo Bristle map). No idea if bottles or tap.
    Wolftrap: Bo Bristle bottles (according to Laros last December)

    Does anyone have any other info? Is the above still accurate?

    I'm just a thirsty punter coming home for Christmas looking for somewhere to have a pint over the holidays.

    Wolftrap have a heap of craft beers both in bottles and on draught: http://www.facebook.com/thewolftrap.tullamore/photos/pb.366167140136779.-2207520000.1418684257./715579321862224/?type=3&theater

    Lynchs have a decent selection of bottles and two taps that rotate.

    Did they actually buy the building or are they leasing it from the owners?

    A sure sign that the shopping centre on the old Texas/Tesco site won't be going ahead as was planned.

    The revised plan that went in last year did not include the demolition of this building, the original plan did so it won't make any difference.

    Pub is opening on Wednesday and is called Tanyard Lane, loads of people giving out about the name because it's not on the Tanyard.
    But hey they have spent a fortune gutting it out and doing a complete overhaul.

    It wasn't exactly beside the Wolftrap in the mountains either.

    Anyway should be good to have a pub in town specializing in craft beer, might give the rest of the pubs a kick up the arse too

    Keep an eye out for a beer which is being tapped on friday evening Called "Black Arden" ...Its a coffee stout which is based on a local homebrewers recipe, It will only be available in the tullamore pub, I was among a group of local beer fans that helped to brew it for their opening weekend... :-)

    I was there last year, great spot. Dragged lads in for one, they thought that it looked too hipster. Ended up staying the whole night!

    Revised open day is Thursday, food won't be ready to be served until Paddy's day as the kitchen isn't ready yet but they will be putting a big focus on food.

    Try the Black Arden if there's any left ( only around 2 kegs were made ) .... a really nice stout.... the keg is being tapped tonight and a lot of us have decided to only have a glass of it to try let as many people as possible try it over the weekend... :-)

    I was in there over the weekend.
    Black Arden is nearly sold out, great pub it's got real potential, all the carriage range plus Galway hooker and hope blond ale. Bottle selection decent too, all kinegar and 4 bredogs as well as some american beers
