A few ones I'd love to find would be places that sell the Pineapple Sour, Super Split, Peaches and Cream Ale, Shamrock Shake Ale.

I think the last two might be discontinued though

If you can make your way out to Tallaght, I have 3 cans of Peaches and Cream from the last batch. And a can on the pineapple sour. Welcome to them ðŸ‘Œ

Checked this place out today. It was an OK range, much of what they have in the SuperValu. A few ones I'd love to find would be places that sell the Pineapple Sour, Super Split, Peaches and Cream Ale, Shamrock Shake Ale.

SuperValu on Sundrive Road definitely has the Púca Pineapple and Shamrock Shake still in stock. Glas Peaches & Cream Ale is from almost a year ago, you'd be very lucky to find it now, and the Super Split is only just landing so it could be a day or three before Stephen Street News has it and a week or so before the relevant SuperValus do.

These are all single-batch (so far) beers. They're discontinued as soon as they're in the can.

Anyone know anywhere in Dublin City Centre that has a good selection of them? I think SuperValu in Kilmainham generally has a good selection but never seen anyone sell their full (or most of) their range?

They had a bog ale a good few years ago that was so strong it was dangerous. Very strong flavour, like turf sandwiches, but I liked it.

I still have a bottle of that from one of the earlier batches in the old style bottle. I should probably open it, but now it's also now probably one of the few left...

My fav beer of theirs is Bran & Sceolan.

I see the White Hag have announced they're releasing an Orange Ice Cream Ale. I'll probably grab this one as I enjoyed the Shamrock one they released around Paddy's day

Seems like it would be up your street.

They're a brewery of two halves for me...

I really dislike their strongly flavoured stouts and specials like this, and it was part of the reason I bailed out of Clann Mor.

But their core range of NEIPA, IPA etc. Love it.

Keltoi weather today
Met Éireann should just replace the sun symbol with Keltoi can symbols from now on for sunny days
So good

The limited edition stouts they do have been fantastic, highly recommend for both taste and value. Love them.

sporina

got some White Hag beer glasses today - love em... will post a pic at the weekend when I have them christened :pac:

White Hag and Kinnegar are my 2 favorite Irish craft brewers. Just got the box of the Festa Nuda stout, one of the nicest stouts I've tasted

mik_da_man

Big fan of them too - I love Atlantean and little Fawn.
Some of the pastry stouts are fantastic, Salted Caramel is my favorite and they have some cracking seasonal ones like the Pumpkin Ale

They do have a monthly subscription which is great to get some core ones and the specials as they are brewed.

youcancallmeal

Their core range is a really good selection of 'gateway beers', not the best version of the style but generally good enough to please everyone. I like their sours in particular for this reason

SmartinMartin

They hold the best taster party weekend (Hagstravaganza) in the country, at the brewery in Ballymote. Haven't missed one yet!

Macy0161

Atlantean my favourite too.

I think Little Fawn is a good session though, but tend to pick up a couple of Cheap Flirt over the white hag 4 pack when I'm in Lidl.

They need to keep making Keltoi- what a beer for summer
Like their helles too but Keltoi has turned me from a hater into a fan(for now)

Their New England IPA is delicious

I had a selection of their stuff at Christmas. Very nice. Would definitely try again.

I really like most of White Hags stuff but Dungarvan, when you open a bottle its like the money shot in a porno. Hard to rate them as half the beer is all over the kitchen nearly every time you open a bottle.

yes that happens us sometimes of late with bottles of Helvic Gold.. didn't in the past.. mayb they have changed something.. doesn't seem to happen with Copper Coast.. but they are selling some of their beers in cans now and its not an issue with them..

Currently drinking one of their Phantom IPAs I picked up in Lidl. Not one of theirs I had tried before. I like it. Very drinkable.

Atlantean possibly my favourite beer, definitely up there anyway.

I think Atlantean is their best.

Defo one of the best Irish breweries. I've been drinking their beer on and off since they launched and joined their beer club earlier this year to try more of their specials and collabs without the hassle of having to hunt them down.

Their core range of beers are v good IMO and Ninth Wave is one of my favourite beers.

Saying that though, they love to experiment and have brewed some absolutely awful stuff (I'm looking at you pastry stouts and shamrock shake)

I think the 4 packs are €8.99 in lidl at the moment which is good value (IMO)

You've described my entire WH relationship too. Though I flip between Ninth Wave/Atlantean/Bran Sceolan as a favourite ðŸ˜€

Mrs B is very fond of their Hellas and Kolsch, which makes my spend easier

I do get a slagging from the DPD delivery guy thoughðŸ˜œ

No, it's not a bad thing but an unsuspecting buyer could be caught out with a style that's really not for them if they are unfamiliar with craft beers.
I really like some of their beers, others I'd feel sympathy for my drain pouring them down it!

But I see you've quoted reasonable descriptions, there.
Enjoy

awe sure you would say that about anything.. eg: cheese in particular springs to mind lol.. its up the us the customers to inform ourselves before purchasing..

I think its good that craft beer companies experiment - push the boundaries.. otherwise, there would be numerous brands selling similar products..

Of course, not all will be to everyone's liking, and some might even be dud eggs.. thats only natural

thanks

The only pastry stout I wasn’t fond of was the Mexican Hot Chocolate one. It sounded much nicer than tasted, but it was drinkable.

I liked the Shamrock Shake as a refreshment after cutting the grass in the evening

I actually have a can of the Mexican hot chocolate down stairs that I haven't got around to yet. I've been avoiding it. The shamrock shake went straight down the sink after the first sip... I still shudder when I think of it.

Had a can of little Olcan last night and really enjoyed it.
