All Metalman gone before 10.30. For Christ's sake don't launch a beer if you can't even supply the launch.

I'm not sure if the people behind the beer are reading this, but if you are, supplying 7 small kegs to a major pub is amateur.

In fairness to them 1) there was much more up take of the launch than anticipated

2) It had been on sale since the day before and was sell more than anticipated

3) It’s on rotating tap which will limit the amount of kegs that be kept on site at anyone time

The world's first trademark and iconic logo that has not nothing to do with beer, it’s just a red triangle

if people are so bothered about the branding of the product why don't they set up their own deise beer, in blue bottles wit pictures of john mullane and the 3 ships on it.....Metalman have gone away from that kinda local junk marketing and have ambitious plans for this, while keeping it as local as possible in the naming of their ale

Went in for a taste last night. Very tasty stuff, nice almost citrus aftertaste.

Regardless of thoughts on the branding the tap sticks out a mile from the usual suspects.

Looking forward to increased availability and further beers from the brewers.

That's the Amarillo hops and it's a lovely pint

I have had a few of this over the last view days and really like it

I like to see people registering especially to promote a local product.

Is it being stocked in any off-licences?

I'd imagine Ardkeen Stores would give it a go.

just watching nationwide & seems that Dungarvan brew is doing nicely too.

I got invited to the launch by a friend in CiddyTours and had a good few pints of the Metalman. Its a lovely flavourful beer with a nice citrus, to me grapefruity, aftertaste. I was well impressed and would nearly go to Revolution specifically to drink it - and I'm no fan of the place.

Oh and I love the logo too, it really stands out from the crowd - as does the beer. With this and the Dungarvan Brewing Co beer we are beginning to get spoilt, next we need a micro brewery pub in Waterford.

Can't wait to sample this beer. Will have to make a point of going into Revolution as, like you, I'm not a big fan. And totally agree on the part in bold. What are the chances The Porterhouse fancy expanding down this direction!

Anywhere else in Dublin serving it apart from the 2 places mentioned??

Could do with educating the peeps up here about Waterford as for the last 12 years they all seem to think I'm from Wexford no matter how many times I tell em..

MitchKoobski

Didn't think much of it tbh. Then again, I didn't like the Dungarvan stuff either.

grapefruity

I was excited to try this in The Franciscan Well, Cork until I read this. This is what has put me off most of the pale ales I've tried. Up until recently I thought grapefruitiness was inherent to the style, but I was given a few non-grapefruity PAs recently.

I'll give Metalman a try all the same.

...
Woah! I thought I was in the beer forum.

There is a launch tonight in The Vic Tramore at 9pm, finger food and live music with Cadillac Duo from 10pm also.

Very interesting to hear all the different thoughts about the MetalMan Brewing Co. logo! Our brief was to come up with an art-deco inspired logo which we aged and distressed to give it a bit of a steampunk feel. We did experiment with several ways of incorporating the MetalMan icon onto the logo, but in the end, we felt that it wouldn't generally be recognised outside the Co. Waterford area, so we went with a much more simplified, punchy design.

Here's the latest artwork for the first MetalMan seasonal brew, interested to hear your opinions!

lovely pale ale, hoping it is a success

I love the design but not too gone on the colours - particularly the turquoise? I would prefer colours which convey a more "organic" feel.

The Vic in Tramore and soon to the Cove Bar on the Dunmore Road I believe. Check out the metalmanbrewing website for up to date info, I only look after the graphics (and of course, plenty of sampling research!!)

magick

Im looking at the Logo and all i can think of is BioShock. It looks as if Metal Man is the unofficial beer of Rapture!

dayshah

Can I post the logo?
I'm not advertising (I've no connection to the people involved) and I think its relevant to the thread.


I think it looks good for the Tall Ships, if that's what its meant for.

foghlu

That logo looks great hope it gets good use for the tall ships!
