Supporting craft breweries

randomname2005

Wanted to start a thread with a list of Irish craft breweries selling online so we can support them as much as possible during the crisis- it would be a shame to see any of them close. (Yes I know directly supporting them will impact sales in shops and off licenses but shops have other items to make a profit from so they can stay afloat and those of us in rural places don't always have a local off license to support).

So far I have seen white hag and kingarven selling online but would be interested in seeing what others have found.

Edit - ideally independent which I believe the two above still are

Try BrewDog VS Evil Twin - Roaster Coaster if you want a nicely balanced Nitro Stout.

Game changer, O'Hara's are bringing out their stout in a can, with nitro.

I hope they follow up with canning their Red Nitro that only appears to be available on tap in far too few a place.

Brilliant news. Not a fan of Left Hand as it's too sweet for me but this is going to be fantastic.

Was just thinking today how good the Nitro Milk Stout from Left Hand is, cannot wait to try this.

I always made a point of getting some pink Púca in for the outdoor drinking in the summer months. Lovely stuff though some other breweries have eclipsed it recently.

For me, that one veered too much into alco pop territory for me. Just didn't taste like beer at all, to me.

From my POV they led the way with sours and then it came to a shuddering halt just as it became popular as a genre.

I'm hoping they can expand that range again, I think they had a lime and matcha one that was superb that didn't stick around for very long. Same with In Cahoots.

Their original Heather sour was fantastic and amazing value.
The barrel aged one is also excellent but much dearer than the original.

Of the puca range, I've only likes the lemon, but I really like that.

My other half absolutely loved that one too..

Their flavoured stouts / Dark Druid series are far too sweet for my taste, but they've got a big fanbase I think.

Outside of the core Puca series, they haven't really been doing much in the way of sours if you think about it.. certainly none that comes to mind. I think they've embraced sours a lot less (outside than core) than other breweries in recent years. Also, not to my taste, so I'm glad.

As I've heard them indicate previously, their "Spree" series (Shamrock Shake / Moccachino) are more for showing a fun side where the likes of "SMaSH" are for showcasing the malt and hop used.

Some of their core (are they core?) beers like Atlantean are really good. I liked the SMASH IPA series as well, for the most part.

I do agree with people who give out about some recent White Hag beers, but my observation would be that the clangers have mainly been the flavoured stouts and maybe some of the sours?

I've a can of mint chocolate stout sitting there for ages (ok, a couple of weeks) and every time I pick it up I just shudder and put it back down... will try it today, worst case it gets poured.

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention. https://imgur.com/gallery/uu9pmDP

I had the Leann Follain earlier. Much better than the last one. The sherry cask really adds a lot to the flavour.

Effects

I spotted that new Leann Folláin last week, and assumed it was just some of the December one that was making it's way back onto the shelves.
I'll give it a try, but I was underwhelmed by the first one.

Insect Overlord

Found a bottle of Leann Folláin I'd forgotten about. Thought it might make the United match more fun. It didn't. -_-

Still a great stout though!

Not many other Irish Breweries focusing on the Rye as much for sure! Nice to get that spiciness every once in a while!

Can't wait to get this. I loved their black rye IPA, their session & normal rye IPA and even the Brewers at Play rye lager they did. :P

Pretty sure the manager of McHugh's in Artane pronounces it that way, too, and they've brewed a Road Trip beer with them!
