Tonights 2 beers will be :

Viru beer - Estonian beer
Trade Route Ginger Pale Ale

Will get back later with how good/bad they were.

Viru beer - Estonian beer for a 5% beer its very light tasting almost watery.Not really my kind of beer tbh.The other half liked it as an easy to drink beer but reckons she could only have 2-3 before being bored.
Almost no head when poured from the bottle either which made it look weird too.
Don't think i will go for it again.

After that I drank Sierra Nevada IPA to fix my taste buds but never got around to the Trade Route Ginger Pale Ale !

thelynchfella · 24-04-2010 12:01PM

was on a sierra nevada buzz last night....bought a selection!!

ciaran76 · 24-04-2010 04:52PM

Trade Route Ginger Pale Ale :
Very gingery smell and taste. Can imagine it being very nice on a very cold day.

If you dont like ginger stay away

Im off to the Bull and Castle now

Had Or and Goose island ipa last night. Its not often you can go out and get an Ipa on tap! Both very nice.

Was feeling adventurous today,so I brought a bottle of ekstra,lithianian beer and I must say I quite like it,not too strong a taste off it and had a nice head to it.

pa990 · 27-04-2010 10:14PM

Dirt cheap, not great.. But not bad.

Two more Aventinus tonight. It was the best of the 3 I had last night and boy, what a cracker.

Lovely lovely stuff!

IrishWhiskeyCha · 28-04-2010 10:23AM

Fullers Ale 500ml bottle ... quite nice. Must admit I prefer this bottled than on draught but the draught is not bad either.

And Bombadier from Satanic Mills and really dark stout like ale.

Dooohhh ... not my field so you'll have to excuse me

Heading to the Oslo in Salthill on Saturday for their Beer fest ... don't know what to expect but I hope I'll get to taste a few new beers at least.

BeerNut · 28-04-2010 01:43PM

I'm missing it, but would be willing to call Black Rock Stout as the beer of the festival in advance. Be sure and get some.

thomasm · 28-04-2010 01:51PM

I have been given a beer by a friend in work which he calls "smoke beer" from his hometown.

Its called Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier I think but here is a link to the brewery website..

I love Schlenkerla Marzen. Had a bottle of it over the weekend, lovely stuff.
It really is like drinking a glass of ham!

I'll be there myself!
Come say hello at the Dungarvan Brewing Company stand.

ciaran76 · 30-04-2010 05:15PM

Well seen Adnams Innovation in Superquinn this evening so bought it! Any had a few sups and quite nice but doesn't have a strong ale taste.

Not the best IPA I ever had but drinkable. It would be down my list of beer must haves!

grenache · 30-04-2010 10:26PM

Tonight Matthew i am drinking Zatec (pronounced Jhatets), a Czech pilsner. Very hoppy, similar in ways to Staropramen without as much sweetness. A very satisfying well made beer.

O'Briens have it at 6 for €8.99, a deal which also includes the fabulous Blue Moon wheat beer and Dos Equis.

I think it's a fantastic beer: wonderful mandarin and peachy tea things going on. It's not at all like an IPA, though, and doesn't claim to be. The 4 for €10 deal in Superquinn is brilliant.

And it's brewed by an Irishman.

thelynchfella · 01-05-2010 01:13PM

i'd love to know what i'm not getting with it. I wasnt overwhemed by it either. I cant remember the taste but i do remember wondering what people saw in it

From their website it says "The beer, our version of an American IPA, is brewed with a blend of Wheat and Pale ale malts to give a spicy, biscuity undertone to the beer, but it is in the hops where the beer really shines"

Thats the reason I thought it was an IPA.

Well I drank it last week and it was really different.

Not my type of beer to drink on its own. Had my dinner with a glass of it and it was excellent.

What beer are we drinking this week ?
