Well its all a matter of taste and opinion. Obviously your taste and opinion are incorrect

Seriously though, I didn't like the Dungarvan blonde ale, but I did like the dark ale and thought the stout was alright.

What I want is blaa beer. It would be a type of wheat beer, but made with the same wheat as is used for blaas (if blaas are made with wheat of course, I don't know) and each glass would be lightly dusted with blaa dust (AKA flour).

Dayshah you are a feckin genius....Who needs Belgian Wheat when we could have Blaa Wheat.....genius boy!!!!

I've enjoyed drinking the Dungarvan beers, The stout is especially nice. & they have won a few awards & constantly increasing their distribution.

good to hear a local success story

Yeah I completely agree. I'm a big fan of the Helvick Gold and the Copper Coast is nice too.

Is it just me or does this thread have nothing to do with Hoffmans?

The last time I had Hoffmans was New Year's Eve for the Millenium. I was on the quay drinking a can of Hoffmans that was probably out of date and it had a lovely tast of the alluminium it was stored in!

I would like to try it again for some morbid reason!

My thoughts too, strange title from the OP - what should be a thread celebrating a new business for the town is now about reminiscing on an old one.

Well done to those at Metalman and best of luck with the new venture.

Thanks for the well wishes folks! Hope you can make it along to the launch night on the 8th in Revolution.
