That sounds like a great idea! Is it free? I know a good few people who'd be interested!

RonMexico

Not sure to be honest. Looking forward to it though.

It won't. I can't. It never will and if they try it will be a failure. It's a pre club bar so cheap commercial beers is all they can sell.

It is organised by An Bord Bia. I wouldn't look into it too much as far as Smyths are concerned.

Saying that, the more pubs in Limerick that stock craft beer the better. The variety as it stands is dire compared to the rest of the country. Thankfully the Locke Bar have decided to stock a nice little selection these days. Now if only more places would follow suit.

Ron,

Try Foleys on Sarsfield Street. He is the first to have Fishcers Helles Beer on Draught in Limerick since Luigi Malones pulled the plug.

Have a pint of it. Really nice stuff.

RonMexico

Excellent - will do!

Maybe we should start a Limerick Craft Beer Thread of its own with all the places that stock them?

Was in Punches again last night have to say their craft beer selection is good. Too Good :P

Where's doing the Saturday morning beer tasting? Smyths? would have thought Nancys or even inside the Market as Smyths do a fair amount of breakfasts/lunches about that time.

Anyway, free beer .:) oh yeah and.....cheese, not to forget the cheese.

A load of beer followed up by some 'cheese' tasting sounds like the average night out for Limerick girls......
