Smithwicks Long Summer

It tastes like nothing.

You have to give it to them though, that's a difficult thing to pull off!

Had a bottle of Metalman/Hardknott Yerba.

Very impressed, it's a great and unique porter. I'd love to try it on tap.

Evil Twin's Hop Flood.

Another meh offering from a fairly meh brewery.(When factoring in the price)

The Seinfeld of beers!

Tried out a few of the West Kerry Brewery offerings. The Carraig Dubh porter is the best so far, really great chocolate and coffee flavours. Might even be good enough to require a trip to sample it at the source some time.

Other than that, Kinsale Pale Ale is the perfect beer to watch the world cup with. (And just to drink in general.)

I had a lovely evening yesterday playing Civ 5 while watching the football and having some Beoir#1

I didn't have a lovely morning when I woke up with a bad hangover, remembered that the beer is 9% and realised I should have had that last one

It was on tap in the Headline recently and is deceptively easy to go down, not overpowering on flavour and very very drinkable. Worth making the trip in for, in fact

I had a bottle of it a while back and wasn't too impressed. Thought it was a bit under carbonated and wasn't as rich or flavoursome as some other porters.

Grayditch · 14-06-2014 06:14PM

I liked that it was a different kind of porter and I expected the herbal taste to take over, but it was well balanced. I'll see if I can get to it on tap this weekend.

BaZmO* · 14-06-2014 06:17PM

Had metalman chameleon ginger and chilli porter last night on cask.
Lovely lovely beer. Just the right amount of ginger and lovely heat from the chilli.

I was in Galway yesterday for a conference and had another pint of Napoleon Stout - Galway Hooker's offering, made for Neachtain's. I really want to say that it's a great beer but I find it quite nondescript. Very much on the dry scale of stout with some smokiness behind it but not as complex as something like O'Hara's.

I also had a Nimmo's Galway Porter, also brewed for Neachtain's. I didn't like this at all, despite getting it only lightly chilled. Very sour, yeasty taste with just a hint of coffee. Not a classic.

Georgetown Brewery in Seattle.

Home of Manny's Pale Ale.

Yum.

Went into P. Macs yesterday evening and had a Metalman IPA. The place is spectacularly hipsterish.
Went to Taste of Dublin after the pint and had Adnams Ghost Ship and Innovation on draught - both decidedly bland.
Had a Blacks Black IPA on draught as well and absolutely loved it. I even had a second pint of it!
Then a few pints of O'Haras Pale Ale in the Stag's Head.
Coupled with the half bottle of Malbec at Taste and I'm decidedly tender today.

I really liked ghost ship, nice and hoppy

4 world cup games in a row and beoir #1 to get me through them, doesn't get much better than this

ciaran76 · 15-06-2014 06:50AM

Carrig Brewery Pipers IPA and Poachers IPA enjoyed both.

Where are people getting bottles of beoir#1?

Grayditch · 15-06-2014 09:17AM

I'm expecting to be disappointed by O'Haras Adventure Amber Ale today... Well maybe not.

I've a Bo Bristle and 2 Modus Hoperandis to make up for it, if it does.

vicwatson · 15-06-2014 09:20AM

Had a Jack Doyle's Proper Order yesterday, Pale Ale. Very tasty

People who crowd-funded the batch got them.

You'll need the other beers.
I had it last night and poured some of it down the sink.

Had this last night, yea very mild.
Disappointed as I liked the Winter Spirit bottle.

Had a Kenmare Red after, much punchier.

Cheers.

What's the word on whether they are likely to put a batch on general sale?

Hate hearing all these great reviews but can't get my hands on it.

Jaysus what's going in with them. Winter Star was atrocious and the Double IPA is a weak offering.

What beer are we drinking this week, too?
