Interesting - what other craft beers do they stock?

I have always found McGraths that bit more expensive. I would consider it well made/good quality, but not necessarily my favourite beer at all.

Having a pint of the seasonal Trouble Brewing Stout Dash Away Cherry Chocolate Stout. It is delicious. :-)

that pic is too small, I can't read it, is there a bigger one?

BaZmO* · 23-12-2014 07:00PM

The Christmas stash.

Lovely Bloke · 23-12-2014 07:04PM

Nah, average breweries.

Should get Stone and Alesmith's barleywines next time you put in an order, they are so good.

I've had Old Numbskull before, beautiful beer.

Is that still owned by Nama?

Tip over to Lucan. The County bar has Leann Follain at €4.20, and pints of O'Hara's stout for €4.

Finally on holidays so started the evening with a Firestone Pivo Pils followed by a Deschutes Inversion IPA. I then have a Lost Abbey Judgement day to finish the evening with.

Might just order a truckload of Zeitgeist* and a few of the Stone beers, cheers.

* Why in God's name is this not imported to Ireland anymore, their best beer by far.

BMJD · 23-12-2014 11:17PM

Of Foam And Fury . The last couple of times i had a bottle of this i was disappointed but this one is great.

Trond · 23-12-2014 11:45PM

Couple of Hofbrau original. Got a crate of them. Tasty enough.

Not as nice as I remember on tap in Munich. Not in a huge drinking humour tonight so probably not best to judge them completely....

What did you think of Inversion? Wasn't crazy about it myself, keep an eye out for Fresh Squeezed.

Grayditch · 24-12-2014 01:00AM

Ska Brewing's Euphoria is delicious.

Picked up a solas Irish red in tesco earlier. Fairly poor, a bit of malt but lacking in anything else

what the hell were you expecting from an Irish Red.

Frankly, someone like you, buying an Irish Red, you deserve nothing. Nothing. :pac:

thesandeman · 24-12-2014 07:40AM

An I the only one that thinks O Hara's Red actually has something going for it tastewise compared to the others? Seems to be a lot more favourably priced as well.
My local just got the 8° red in, and while it's an improvement on the usual muck I resent paying €6 a pint for it. Luckily enough it's the Xmas drinks season so I'm not paying for a few of them at the moment. I'll probably have a rant about it come January though.

Standard 8° beers are €4.80 in my local in Cork city centre. €6 is taking the pish.

Full Irish is €5.60
