Night #4: Orval Trappist ale; Subliminal Imperial stout (Buxton Brewery)

Love the 2018 200 Fathoms, it's the best one for a few years imo.

I've been to Spain for the holidays
The problem over there is that bars usually have one or two taps and always stick to the local ones, like Mahou in Madrid and such, or the usual Heineken.

Surprised to see this time that many bars have a larger selection of local breweries, mostly bottled.

I lost track of all I had

Had pleasure of a few of these earlier in Brody’s Tap House, Den Haag. Delicious stuff.

McCambridges in Galway had one bottle of it left in their fridge the last time I was there.

Blackrock cellar had it, they might still have some. A very nice beverage indeed.

Night #whatever: White Hag brewery, Meabh Rua. A 750ml bottle of 8.2% Imperial Red Ale. Bottled in 2016. Also purchased on Shop Street in Galway. Enjoyed slowly over the last 2 hours.

Also enjoyed recently: 8 Degrees, Hopsfume IPA. Great way to see out 2018. Gorgeous beer.

Moor Nor'hop, like everything else they do it's excellent. 4.1%, very sessionable.

I'm in Carrick for the night, is the Barrel Store worth checking out?? Anyone been their?

Lovely spot, defo worth a look IMO. Its primarily Carrig brewing beers and they have a good selection of them. The Oarsman is also defo worth checking out but its quite a foody pub so can be tricky to get a seat just for pints.... they are pretty much beside each other in any case.

Dellboy54 · 04-01-2019 01:53PM

Barrelstore is a decent bar with a good craft selection. Mainly from Carrig brewery as already stated. Check out Gings if you are going across the bridge....

Thanks lads.. Much appreciated

Got one of these Fruit,car,sight exhibition by Verdant for later. Heard a lot of good things about this beer. If it doesn't do it then I'm finished with hype ipas.

RasTa · 06-01-2019 11:10AM

I have now invested £100 into Verdant's crowdcube funding yoke.

Is the hype real ??

RasTa · 06-01-2019 03:06PM

I dunno anymore, I certainly enjoyed it but wouldn't buy again for awhile at that price.

RasTa · 10-01-2019 08:52AM

Back home for 2 days today. Anything to look out for? Have a 200 fathoms waiting

ianob7 · 10-01-2019 10:42AM

The new whiplash double is lovely.. I'm a double and whiplash lover though ..

Also the new kinnegar double New England is great too if you're that way inclined

krustydoyle · 11-01-2019 10:01PM

Best place to buy a few fancy beer glasses?? I've tried Google but no joy

sceach16 · 11-01-2019 10:09PM

Had a large bottle of McArdles watching the Munster match. Old ways are best!

If you're in Dublin and want branded glasses, Blackrock Cellar always had a decent selection any time I was in there.

Back yet again in Leuven. More lashings of cheap westmalle dubbel.
