Places that sell decent beer.

In Dublin try the Porterhouse, The Bull & Castle, Redmond's of Ranelagh or Drink Store, for instance.

In Cork try the Abbot's Ale House or the Bierhaus.

In Galway try Harvest or Bierhaus.

Its a regular one to be found in good beer places, also the Eis bock is worth trying, but it's not to ever ones taste

Yeah, I love Aventinus but didn't care for the Eisbock (similar label, but a small bottle) at all.

I didn't like the Eisbock when I's previously (I think it was the 2005 batch) but I had the 2008 recently and went back and bought the last 3 bottles in The Abbott's !
I think it's fantastic. Really well balanced with the alcohol very well integrated. And the flavour!!!

It really is nothing like the previous stuff - no chunky sediment and overpowering alcohol.

If you haven't tried the current batch, I urge you to do so (if there's any left!!).

Also got to try one from around 1996. It aged remarkably well with mellow chocolate and bovril flavours that lasted for ever.

I wonder was the 2005 batch that Eurobbers had a poor batch or had been badly treated somewhere along the line

BeerNut

Good enough for me. I'll try it again if I see it.

porterhouse north sell it.
i think its 5.50€ a bottle i.e. its the same price as the other weissbiers on sale.

Thanks for the links, you know if they sell discounted cases of it, can't see any 'buy a case' button anywhere and the case deals listed for German brands doesn't list Aventinus ;(

Sure, I'll drop them a line!

It's on the menu in the Salt House, although the last time I asked for it they didn't have it.
