What beer are we drinking this week ?

Toyko* - thought it was horrible, very disappointing after Isle of Arran which I really liked. Toyko* reminded me of An Brain Blasta, which might be less than half the strength but every bit its equal in undrinkability

Tried the Franciscan Well's current guest drink last night Barrelhead IPA. There's a whole lot of flavour going on in a mouthful of that, very interesting.

That's a great beer - you should have tasted it on cask at the Easterfest - even better!!

That beer is in The Abbot's labelled as Grizzly Beard and is €7 for a 2 pint mass!

I'm after ordering a selection of bottles from drinkstore, none of which I have had before but I have heard good things about. I can't get any of them here in Kilkenny so I decided to check out drinkstore. The beers are:

Gouden Carlous Classic
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Paulaner Salvator
Brew Dog Punk IPA
DogFish Head 90 Minute IPA
Belhaven Scottish Stout
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Jennings Sneck Lifter
Hook Norton Double Stout

Should be an interesting weekend.

A visiting friend left half a crate of Miller in the fridge. It's not exactly a complex and refined taste explosion, but it is a refreshing tipple when something more important than drinking is going on at the same time. And free, so I'll not complain. I have a 21 year old sherrywood finished scotch waiting in the wings should the Miller prove lacking. Looks like a good weekend indeed.

Had a Bay Distillery & a Seira Nevada Ale last night in the Salt House both on tap. Not too sure which I prefered but enjoyed both.

We just got some Schiehallion's in stock in work - might pop in and pick up one or two later today, see what they're like!

I really liked that Schiehallion , you should enjoy it, great beer

. The hersbrucker hops really work great with it. I must try and make a lager during the winter similar to this.

Tonight I have got a Sharps Single Brew Reserve 2008 and a Wells Bombardier Satanic Mills to try out.

Any more info? I guess they've got the kegging plant up and running at Oslo, so.

Had some Franciscan Well Red in the Gingerman earlier. Was very nice and surprisingly "creamy"

Having a couple of Black Sheep Ale at home now.

hey the gallic kitchen has nice pies, situated on Francis street, nice beef pies

Saruman · 08-08-2010 08:55AM

I made use of Superquinns current world & craft beer offer which is 6 for €12.
I was introducing a friend to the joys of proper beer so we got 12 bottles for €24.

Among the favourites were Adnams Innovation, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Youngs dbl choc stout and Chimay. It was a good night.

spaceoddity · 08-08-2010 11:11PM

Blue Moon last night.... 'nuff said!!!

Sharps Single Brew Reserve 2008 was really nice liked it alot.

Stanic Mills , this is the 2nd time I have had this and I think it gets better. Very strong flaovours indeed.

Bavaria 5%, cheap and cheerful. Any beer less than 5% should be fcuked out as you may as well drink bottles of Bud.

you're drinking the wrong beers

Technocentral · 10-08-2010 07:07PM

Just tried Punk IPA and Brooklyn East India Pale Ale today, both excellent but Brooklyn comes out on top for me, anyone recommend some other IPAs for me (apart from Sierra Nevada's, tried and liked them all and Goose Island ones which I didnt like)?

DBCyc · 10-08-2010 09:11PM

Try Hop Hazard and Hopalotamus by River Horse and Dogfish Heads 60 Minute and 90 Minute IPA.

The Hopalotamus and 90 Minute are imperial IPAs I suppose, so drink them last!

Man I'm a sucker for the hops. I haven't seen it here in a while but the Great Divide's Hercules Double IPA is another cracking beer.

builttospill · 10-08-2010 11:30PM

Yep the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA would be my favourite. There's a lot going on in there.

Got it for 1.39 a can in tesco, nice

spaceoddity · 11-08-2010 08:42PM

Drinking Brooklyn's Summer Lager - yes, it does taste 'summery' (can't quite put my finger on it exactly), but it was brought into stock a bit late, considering the weather we've been having lately!
On another note, I was in Italy a couple of weeks ago and was drinking a beer called....Beer!!! Maybe that's why it was 45c a can, but I tell, it was drinkable! More so than a can of Dutch or Carlsberg here!

ciaran76 · 12-08-2010 03:39PM

Got a few different beers to try this weekend after reading recommendations on here.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo.
Old Engine Oil
Dungarvan Blackrock Stout
Batemans XXB
Brewdog Punk IPA

Looking forward to this bounty !

the beer revolu · 12-08-2010 05:18PM

All fine beers!
