I Hardcore You a colab' beer from Mikkeller and BrewDog.

It's an IIPA (Imperial IPA) Strong beer 9.5%

Very strong hoppy flavour, more to the fruity side at first taste, orange peel, pine and very bitter. A great beer, only opened it a few minutes ago, so far so good. It's a solid 10 for me at the moment.

I love that beer.

Have a bottle of that in the fridge, but don't think it will be drank tonight. Absolutely loved last years, no doubt its as good this year!

Love it myself, first time having it. You definitely notice the Hardcore IPA in it, but better IMO. Will be grabbing a few more of them I think, Have a Yeti in the fridge waiting for me, nicest Imperial Stout I have drank.

Terrapin Hopsecutioner India Pale Ale my local favourite beer here in Atlanta now. Sometimes I go for Hoplanta but always move in to Hopsecutioner

Got some milk stout for later so looking forward to that.

Sephiroth_dude · 08-07-2012 02:20PM

How many pints would you get out of those heiniken kegs?

Im drinking krombacher on draft atm :-)

noodler · 08-07-2012 02:24PM

Was in Vancouver, Canada recently and was drinking Philips Blue Buck on draught, I brought home two bottles to my father and he loved it. It is a lovey smooth beer and at 5% its not too strong and doesnt give you a bad headache the next day! Has anyone one else here tried this beer, would love to get my hands on a few more bottles.

I guess this would be next to impossible to find a palce that would import here to Ireland?

also is the Drinkstore in Stoneybatter, Dublin the best place for buying craft and world beer?

have a look at their site here!

It's one of the better ones in Dublin certainly. The downside is they don't have room to display their whole range. Redmond's of Ranelagh and McHugh's in Kilbarrack and Artane are also first-rate.

So is Hollands in Bray, that's my local, good selection and always getting more stuff in every week. I have bought from drinkstore online quite a bit, their delivery is top notch, order before 12 and they will have it out to you the next day.

Cask Joker IPA from William Bros.
I Hardcore You from Mikkeler/Brewdog
Kipling Pale Ale from Thornbridge
Goose Island IPA from eh...Goose Island.

Yesterday was a tasty day.

BeerNut · 09-07-2012 05:20PM

I was well impressed by Joker on cask. Much more hop kick than the bottled version, which is the opposite of what usually happens.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 09-07-2012 07:17PM

Had a bottle of Director's the other night. Think it's my new favourite beer, tbh.

sellerbarry · 11-07-2012 10:55AM

Tried Guinness black lager last night and I really enjoyed it. Tastes more like extra stout than lager though. Anyone else try it yet.?

ASJ112 · 11-07-2012 11:08AM

Has anybody tried the Birrifico Del Ducato beers from Drinkstore ?
