Anyone tried the two new brown paper bag projects? Think one is a wheat beer, not sure about the other. I saw them in the local OL, Might pick them up over the weekend

The wheat beer thing is more of an Orval clone. Very nice beer but te label and description are a let down, especially the hop list

Had a bottle of Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar the other night, it was very tasty.

Also been to JW Sweetmans a couple of times now, all their own beers are very nice. Not really a fan of IPAs usually, but theirs is very nice.
Also, they sell Delerium Nocturnum in bottles, which is the first time I've seen it in Ireland.

They both taste like decent home brewed beers rather than commercially viable products.

They must have changed the recipes since I was in there last week.

Where is the nearest place to Stephen's Green I'd get a pint of Full Sail?

Got it in Sweeneys in Phibsboro

Anyone know where I could get the Paulaner Oktoberfest bottles. They didn't have them in my local tesco

JC Savages in Swords have them if its any good to you. They have Erdinger Oktoberfest as well.

Noxious · 03-10-2013 07:35PM

Superquinn had them but as every year bundled them into their special offer and so I'd say most are gone.

Molloys in D15 had boxes of them.

Lovely Bloke · 03-10-2013 07:37PM

Carry Out in Ashtown had them on Saturday. Might have one now

ciaran76 · 03-10-2013 07:41PM

Mountain Man Green bullet - it's ok nothing special but I reckon it would be a good starter beer for people getting into hoppy beers.

Reminds me of something else that I can't put my finger on.

Yeah, I'll have a look there. I got the Erdinger Oktoberfest in Martin's off licence in fairview. Lovely beer

Lovely Bloke · 03-10-2013 08:20PM

Drinking a Paulaner now, you inspired me. Lovely and malty.

ciaran76 · 03-10-2013 10:25PM

Finished off my Brewdog IPA is dead pack. Dana and Holdings. All this pack were very similar and very poor in my opinion.

Finished off my night with a Galway Bay Fullsail as tonights beers were pretty dull. I like this beer.

drumswan · 03-10-2013 10:27PM

Keep going back to Founders Porter. Dont think Ive drank as many of the one beer in about three years.

BaZmO* · 03-10-2013 10:28PM

St. Austells Big Job. Strange beer. It smells lovely and is almost twice the abv of Proper Job yet it tastes much lighter, no real body to it at all.

Grayditch · 03-10-2013 10:39PM

I'm pretty sure Big Job tastes like a "Smaller" Job. I still think it tasted delicious, but not worth a fiver, if it's not going to tickle the tastebuds a bit more than it does.

Yeah it's nice enough but I think it misses the point of what it's supposed to be, given the name.

Grayditch · 03-10-2013 10:50PM

I definitely did a double take on the bottle after the first sip to check it was actually the Bog Job that I had opened.

I really like Proper job. Might try it out just to see the difference.

Their latest beer tasting was on a variety of Oktoberfest beers so I would say they would have a bunch in stock.

Insect Overlord · 04-10-2013 07:50PM

Got one of these in for tonight. If it goes wrong, I'll have a Delirium Nocturnum as back-up.

Heroditas · 04-10-2013 08:14PM

Oooh saw those at the Taste of Dublin.
Where did you get it?

Finally trying a bottle of Buried at Sea tonight. Haven't had stout or porter in a while so it'll take me a while to readjust from my hoppy IPAs.

There's an off-licence in Limerick selling it. Something silly like €2.70 a bottle. I think it was marked "best before August 2013". :pac:

Edit: Just opened it. Tastes gorgeous!
