    It has so much sugar in it, it's basically jam, so I doubt anything will have gone wrong in it.

    Definitely still drinkable.

    I think my personal record is a bottle of beer from Barbados that expired in 2004, which I drank in 2013. I think it was called Banks's or something like that. Didn't notice anything off with it and definitely no ill-effects afterwards.

    Have two six-pack of Guinness that expired in February 1985 on display in the bar, half tempted to try them now!

    Anyone spot any good prices on 4 packs of Hoegaarden or Leffe recently? I used to enjoy both a lot but haven't had either in a couple of years now.

    The crafty brewing company American style, pale wheat ale from Lidl.

    Lovely beer. Great for these sunny days.

    I've been enjoying 9 white deer bán blended with their rua, lately. About 3:2. It's lovely.

    Recently I had Nocturne Export stout made by Rye River, 6% ABV.

    I was impressed, I bought it again.

    On offer at 2.50 in TESCO.

    Somewhat similar to O'Haras Leann Folláin.

    I had been buying loads when it was €3 and now feel gypped it's €2.50. Still buying loads, it's a superb beer.

    But craft beer is too expensive, as everybody knows.

    It is indeed.

    2.50 for 50cl of 6% beer is a good price.

    Was it in Lidl, or is it only available in TESCO?

    I must buy more for Sat night.

    I've tried all the Crafty brews and most of them were very good, but not that brown ale, I didn't like Newky Broon either so maybe it's the style…

    Yip … I'm a recent convert. Lovely stout. My local Supervalu were doing it for €3 but have put it up to €3.35 … my local Centra still have it @ €3. Must check Tesco

    Correct unfortunately. They do the Crafty Irish Stout (from the same brewer) @ €2.19 per bottle but it isn't a patch on the Nocturne

    10 km run done today, with my first decent time in nearly 4 years, so ye know what that means. (I was too sick to do my 10 mile run in April so I had to make up for that with a hilly jog around Kilkee this week.)

    DOT Brew. Barrel Aged Peated Barley Wine aged in Oloroso barrels for 2.5 years, then finished in ex-Rum barrels. A massive 18.2% ABV for the 330 ml bottle, making it the strongest beer I've ever bought. No carbonation. Smells awesome - you can smell the peat from a yard away. Tastes even better. Wow.

    I have three questions.

    (1) I noted in TESCO that cans of Murphy and Beamish stout are both 4.0%. These used to be 4.2% or 4.3%? What has happened?

    (2) I would like to try Czech-brewed Staroprammen. The 66cl bottles in TESCO and the 33cl bottles in boxes in Lidl are both brewed in the UK. Is it just the 50cl that is brewed in Prague?

    (3) Is there any/much dunkel lager available in typical supermarkets? I am not looking for dunkel weissbier, I am looking for dunkel lager. I hope I am explaining that correctly.

    (1) Possibly due to the rejigging of UK duty rates, if they're supplying the same brew into both markets. Otherwise, cost cutting.

    (2) Yes but 'czech' the labels carefully as even this could go UK. 😠

    (3) Lidl do one sometimes.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    What's the Lidl dunkel?

    My local SuperValu has occasionally stocked Weihenstephaner Tradition Bayrisch Dunkel, but otherwise I've only seen it in specialty beer shops.

    Their own brand, Alpenfest when they have German food in. I only tried it once and didn't like it that much so can't 100% swear it wasn't a weissbier, but my recollection is that it was not.

    Edit: it was called Alpenfest Schwarzbier

    Ah yes, I know the schwarzbier. I wouldn't count it as a dunkel but it does have a lot in common. Outside of Oktoberfest they have sold it as Perlenbacher Schwarzbier though I've not seen that in a few years.

    Any good craft beer spots in Carrick-on-Shannon? I'm up for a couple of stag weekends this summer and might have to break away from the main group every now and again for a fancy pint.

    Meant to pop in to try that tonight, but ended up being a healthy bastard and going for a 4 mile run instead. 😁 How is it?

    Really liking Rascals collaboration with Kinnegar 'Haywire Farmhouse Ale' which comes in at a very palatable 3.8%. Very refreshing. Reminds me of a beer I used to enjoy a few years back (long gone) which was flavoured with gin botanicals.

    Was that Radicale's Curious Brew/Radical Brew?

    I'm struggling to remember. Thought it was an Irish craft beer from the midlands, in a wheat style, flavoured with botanicals (coriander seed, juniper etc.). White can, black writing, last seen 5-6 years ago. Google's not helping! Looking at the Radikale's curious brew, that must be it. Don't remember it being so amber though, and I was sure it came in cans. Anyway, the Rascal's beer is a fine one, and at €2.75 for a 440ml can, well worth a pop.
