Happy days in Cork!!

the beer revolu

The Abbot's Ale House in Cork has a load of new stock in.
Some of the notable new arrivals are:

Brewdog Paradox Imperial whiskey barrel aged stout.
Brewdog Tokyo
Brewdog Tactical Nuclear Penguin (€60 a bottle:eek:)
Broklyn Local No. 2
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
and some others of the Brooklyn range.

Lots of Belgians (Rochefort, Westmalle, Orval, St. Bernardus, Floreffe etc etc)

There are some new German beers in which I'm not familiar with - I got a Der Hirsch Brau, Dopple Hirsch to try.

Looks like the good ole days in the Abbot's, lets hope it lasts!!

I've tried nearly all the Brewdog range, and my tastebuds just don't take to it. Its like there's too much alcohol and not enough flavour. I do like their labelling though, the swipe at watered down mass produced lager and the whole "if you don't like our beer then we don't care" attitude.

Will certainly duke in there for a taster next time I'm in town. Chocolatey Brooklyn sounds great.

Not to mention Black Rock Stout on cask...

I have to disagree, everything I've had of theirs bar zietgiest I've thought has been great and the stronger ones like Tokyo and to a lesser extent Riptide I've found surprisingly unboozy in taste, just packed full of flavour.

Speaking of Cork does anybody know when the Oktoberfest is on in the Franciscan Well? I'd like to know when so I can book cheap trains/flights down.

I'll definitely pop into the Abbot's Ale House also, I don't know how many times I've passed this pub on the way into town without knowing it sold special beers:(.

It is on October Bank holiday weekend, or at least it is that time every year. Definitely a good time to go as it is also Cork Jazz Weekend so the whole city has a good vibe to it.
