    Hmmm looking forward to the Franciscan Well for the beer fest.

    Id say a few early afternoon pints will be in order. The cues start forming to get into that place at about 5pm.

    Is it uncomfortably joined in the Franciscan Well on that weekend?

    I never went cause there's always horrific ques to get in there. I can't stand crowds of people. Would prefer to say in...

    Bet time to go is early in the afternoon. After 3pm it gets very busy and crowded. Great atmosphere though.

    was in there and the beer was savage. I was liking the belfast blonde very nice.
    its nice to try all the beers rather than generic slop in most pubs.

    It wasn't the best beer fest imo. I tried some of the irish beers and ales and didn't like any of them. :( The burgers were savage as always though.

    The burgers were preprocessed muck but because there was so much alcohol added they were tolerable, just. What burgers have you been eating lately to think they were so nice???

    I liked almost every wheat beer there but never mind what I liked, Belfast blond and carlow brewing co had lovely stuff. I have to say that the worst thing there was from the dublin porterhouse, some ale.
    It looked like dishwater in the glass, and tasted even worse. Myself and me mate were ****ing gagging trying to finish it off.

    Was too busy??? Last year was too busy this year was grand by comparison.

    I had a bite or two out of a burger and I thought it was nice.

    It def wasnt as busy as the last two years. You could move around and not much of a Q for the girls toilets so I was happy.

    I left at 9 to go elsewhere as I was there from 5. Kinda wish I had stayed now.
