You sure it's not red? :pac:

It's funny a year ago my favourite beer was erdinger
Now I find it lacks I'm taste.
I suppose at 5 euro for a litre it wasn't bad, but the troubled hooker I had on cask in the brewdock was unreal.

Had my first lambic(although have had brett IPAish beers before if they qualify), Kriek and Boon, absolutely blown away. I love cherries so this beer was made for me. Definitely will be getting this again. If there are any other lambic beers worth getting, am all ears

Got to try the new Founders beers, the dry hopped IPA was poor, Centennial was quite good, and Scotch Ale good too. Their best before is June, so not as fresh as they could be.

Having a nogne ø havre stout.
Really wish I hadn't looked at ratebeer rating as I put it off for ages.
Surprisingly tasty!:D

ciaran76 · 26-09-2013 01:54AM

Summit Sága IPA - really is a great go to beer. 1st time I've had it from a bottle and as good as draught. I'll miss this beer when I come home.

A couple of rarities that I got thanks to family abroad

Haandbryggeriet Hesjeøl and Ægir Skumring Dubbel

I wonder how long from the bottling date the best before is?

Having the porter as we speak, this is very very nice and roasty. 4 for a tenner in Redmonds too, for all except the Dirty Bastard scotch ale which I didn't see there at all.

Was shocked to see Founders on special in Redmonds, picked up the IPA and Porter for this evening.

jsa112 · 26-09-2013 06:40PM

Their best before was June 2014 !, and you could tell the dry hopped one was old from the taste. No indication of when it was bottled. I must try more scotch ale's as have been enjoying the few I've tried so far.

The #3 rated porter on ratebeer 4 for a tenner in Ireland. How things have changed

The best before date is 10 months from bottling, so should be fine

drumswan · 26-09-2013 07:43PM

The porter is sensational.

In what shop..?

snowblind · 26-09-2013 08:00PM

Redmonds. They have the porter, all day ipa, centennial ipa and dry hopped pale ale

snowblind · 26-09-2013 08:22PM

Centennial IPA is a bit disappointing though it does smell fresh, All Day IPA is one of the best sessionable (or hipster as I have been led to believe

) IPAs I've had and very fresh tasting, Porter is just lovely.

Insect Overlord · 26-09-2013 08:28PM

I'll have to take a spin out to Ranelagh next time I'm in Dublin!

Creamy Goodness · 26-09-2013 08:31PM

The porter is gorgeous.

Imported by porterhouse and they're going to be regulars.

Now get some of KBS in please

It's imported by grand cru so should be in the usual spots

Ruben Remus · 27-09-2013 10:01AM

I had Founders porter on tap in the States earlier this year and thought it was amazing.

Does anyone know if any of this Founders shipment will be distributed to Galway?

I'd say its Grand Cru, not porterhouse.

They are all available in Against the Grain as of the other day (according to their facebook).

Just ask Salt House, Bierhaus and MacCambridge's if they will get them.

If they can be got in Dublin, they can be got in Galway, Grand Cru supply a lot of their beers anyway.

You're right sorry, I don't know many importers but the guy who runs the off licence where I bought founders said they were imported by Wally in Porterhouse. He's got a bit of a head-cold so I can guess he was talking about Wally in Grand Cru or they're the same (i don't know :pac:).

same person. There is some sort of an overlap between grand Cru and porterhouse but they are different companies.

Not at all at all, unless you worked somewhere where you;d be dealing with the company or knew the lads there is no way you'd know in fairness.

What beer are we drinking this week ?
