    No sorry,

    But if you are interested Peter's pub near the hairy lemon serves beamish red, similar in style to caffreys, really nice.

    Beamish Red was discontinued almost a year ago -- the first victim of Heineken taking over the Beamish portfolio.

    For Irish red in Dublin, you'll find Franciscan Well's Rebel Red on tap at O'Neill's of Suffolk Street, Paddy Cullen's in Ballsbridge, The Gingerman (badged as "Writer's Red") and the Bull & Castle (badged as "Castle Red").

    Was Caffrey's ever sold in the Republic? It's made by Coors in Burton-on-Trent these days, after InBev closed their Belfast brewery in 2005. I don't think I've ever seen it outside the UK.

    Caffrey's? Mulligan's has Macardle's on tap, but I've never noticed Caffrey's.

    Cheers for the help, all I know is the last time they were in the city one of them was mad for the Caffrey's and lived on that so we're trying to track him a pub where he can sit with his equivelent of that. Anytime he's on a spin in the city it has to be ale, can't say I'd be sat reading all of what's on tap anytime I'm in there so I wouldn't have a clue! .......... then the other loon is raspberry sambuca. Pretty much a Laurel & Hardy pair.

    Oh aye their stayin on O'connell street so he likes the idea of the porterhouse and Messrsmaguires (the whole mirco brewing award sealed that pub)

    I remember pubs in Dublin doing Caffrey's promotions in 1999. Don't recall ever seeing it since in recent years.

    I'm assuming Peter doesn't do this Beamish Red anymore then?


    What's McArdle's like on tap anyone?

    Sorry OP didn't realise they had stopped doing Beamish red, and didn't realise how longs its been since I've been in peters pub, for shame.
    If they are staying on O'connell street then the porterhouse do plenty of ales to suit.
