I see against the grain are charging 5.40 for 330ml of fresh price of kildare. No surprise that underdog are charging 6.25 for the same measure

How is this batch tasting? Its one of the few NEIPAs that I like although I thought the cans were dreadful.

I was actually very impressed with that beer. Best out of the 3 that I tried.

The label on taplist shows it as NEIPA

Its very low on bitterness, cloudy and sweet,sticky & malty mouth feel. Fits the style of a DNEIPA

Had a couple of pints of "Gilbeys" stout at the cricket on Saturday - really nice, not quite Wrasslers/Leann Folláin but nice surprise to get it as the only other options were Tiger or Heineken - found out today it was a Rye River brew for Gilbeys.

Obviously went to your head ! It's Gibneys

. It is a nice stout and a very good but often crowded pub.

Maybe they changed the brew slightly.. it was definitely not advertised as NEIPA when I had it last year

I love a good New England so hopefully this will be good in cans this time around

I'm not familiar with Heino.
Where's it brewed?
What style is it?

Northern Monk Pecan Pie Strannik

Russian Imperial Stout that's dense, rich in flavour with no carbonation or head. It's sweet yet boozy with dark fruits, pecan and a dry finish. 10% ABV.

Aldi’s Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen is really nice.

Smokey mo's.

You wont get craft beer there, but you will get rave music and strobe lights at 2 in the afternoon

On a more serious note i had an exceptional plum porter in the ship and mitre which is a pub worth checking.

+1 for The Ship and Mitre.

Ship & Mitre for sure.

The Philharmonic is unmissable, more for the pub than the beers, but it's a Nicholson's house so the beer is reliably good too.

The Baltic Fleet is also good for cask; it used to brew its own but doesn't any more.

I haven't been to Black Lodge brewing but it looks cool, in that generic taproom way.

There's a BrewDog bar, of course.

And there's a BrewDog knock-off called Dead Crafty which is worth a look, if only because it's just across from the Ship & Mitre.

I covered a few of these in a blog post last year.

Insect Overlord · 18-05-2018 10:06AM

Thank ye.

Just about to head over for a stag, but the real fun doesn't start until Saturday so I'll have time to explore a bit tonight!

aj89 · 18-05-2018 11:10AM

Had Kelly's Mountain Brew - Pride for the first time the other day... One of the nicest Pilsners I've had!

ben.schlomo · 18-05-2018 09:42PM

Wild Beer Co Yokai. Yuzu, Umami and Balance is the description. It's excellent, burst of citrus followed by savoury seaweed and a peppery finish, so interesting and different. One for again. Feel like it would be better cold, which I'm the opposite to normally.

Super Bock from Lidl. To remind me it's really not that nice when I'm skulling it in the sun in two weeks time

It is nice on holidays though.

I agree. Hadn't been in Portugal for years until last year and ended up drinking a fair bit of it as anything craft-like was very difficult, although not completely impossible to find. Imo it's better than a lot of the local macro lagers that you expect to end up drinking when you're away somewhere sunny.

L1011 · 20-05-2018 05:50PM

Bit of sun, 20 degrees and it's lovely. As is Sagres. Boot load will be coming to the house when I get there.
