    Apparently the company who was importing Sam Adams into Ireland (along with several other beers) went bang a couple of weeks ago, so it's gone...

    :(

    First time I had this was in NY earlier this year. Can't really say I'm going to miss it much (not that I had it when it was here!).

    Didn't appeal to me at all, was it an acquired taste?

    A bit. Needed a couple of bottles to get used to it, after that, very much a sipping beer with a very full flavour

    Ahh that's a shame, I quite liked their Boston lager. Didn't get round to trying any others. Maybe I will pick up some before the stock dries up here.

    I reckon someone else will distribute it. It had picked up a niche fan base over the years.

    Barry & Fitzwilliam will be distributing it soon. They've taken on a lot of new beers recently.

    Theres not just one company who import Sam Adams into Ireland quite a few.
    The only places who will suffer are the ones who only deal with single suppliers for certain products.
    Ive plenty in stock and more arriving tomorrow ;)

    Is that just your branch or all of the Molloys?

    Im sure all our other branches shouldnt have a problem.
    C and R and Porterhouse bring it in themselves aswell.

    It will now be coming in from Noreast Beers in Dundalk. A number of Pallets already on the way.

    Excellent! If you can get hold of the Holiday Porter (when in season) I'd love to see that back on the shelves here.

    + 1,000


    If you could also get hold of some of the selection boxes, that would be amazing

    Sam summer and red are really nice if anyone gets a chance to try them.

    I think there was a blueberry one too which was pretty good.

    I never even knew it was being imported into Ireland though, how much was it on sale for?

    Baby steps to start with AFAIK. Could evolve over time as the relationship grows.

    (always visit the breweries every so often - this could be fun!!! fingers crossed)

    Was picking up a six pack earlier & it's gone up €1 (to €10.99) because of the change of supplier which is bad, but, I was told in my local McHugh's that they hope to start getting the seasonals in shortly. Doesn't think they'll get Octoberfest on time, but after that it should be a regular occurrence. Which is good. Yay !

    Not a lover of the stuff but I know Baggot Street Wines have it in stock at the moment.
