I had no idea! Haven't been in that bar in ages. I'll have to pop in some evening this week.

Try the Beers of the World tray. 4 x 250ml different craft draught beers for €5. It's a superb little place and they have a massive Whiskey collection if that's your thing.

FYI they def stock this in the Next Door off-licence on the Fr Russell Road. Picked up a few bottles 2 weeks ago.

I think this is the only pub in Limerick serving it. Savage bar BTW. It reminds me of Dick Macks in Dingle

Think there Facebook page reveals the location its being run by Whelans I was told so that will put a lot of people off

Walked past there Saturday and there was a scummy communion paty in full flow with lads puking outside at 4pm

Is Michael Flannerys a fake Orish pub or part of the big Flannerys

Those guys do nice French beer: http://www.brasseurs-gayant.com/en/, but even the English part of their website seems to be in French for some reason :-p.
I think I've already seen La Goudale somewhere in Ireland, but I have good (but blurred...) memories of La Biere du Demon from my student years.
Non French speakers can answer OUI to the first question and then click NOS MARQUES then TOUTES NOS MARQUES in the menu.

If this Crafty Fox is going to be part of Whelans or run by them, ye'll only need the one craft beer lads - TROUBLE BREWING

I find that craft beer places have quite a different atmosphere to other pubs and bars. I'm thinking mainly of London, where pubs that specialise in craft beer and real ale never have any trouble.

Of course, with any new trend such as the craft beer boom there are going to be people jumping on the bandwagon for what they think is a quick buck. I do hope the Crafty Fox works out OK.

It used to be called McDaids prior to Whelan's, on Denmark Street opposite St Michael's church.

Not at liberty to say. It's an "under the hat" right now thing I think. Oh the suspense.

bigpink

Must be Whelans so!Or they will try play a new owner angle

When is it opening?

Good to hear that we might get our own craft beer pub. There is a bit of a culture emerging in Limerick for it but we are still behind Cork Dublin and Galway.

As for the beers themselves...

Trouble brewing dark arts porter is majestic..For a good hoppy ale try White Gypsys pale ale ( both available in Michael Flannerys in pint bottles).
Both above are Irish....for a good red ale I recommend Hobgoblin from a small brewery in Oxfordshire..this also available in a few pubs in Limerick, and I see it in Tesco Coonagh over the last few weeks.
However I personally feel the best Irish craft beer, by a long margin , is Metalman IPA, from Waterford.

Its a hard win to get people to switch over to craft beer drinking but i think its really worth it...Im totally won over in the last 2 years.

Well if the show in The Strand Hotel tonight was anything to go by then there is some interest in craft beers in Limerick.

For those who didn't know, Fine Wines ran an event for Special Olympics and had many of the suppliers in the country sampling their wares for free. It was both Wine and Beer. It was from 4pm - 10pm and was moderately busy for their first ever event of its kind.

Getting back to the "animal" theme it was The Cuckoo Box for a year or so in between......

Yes for 10 euro in and drink as much as you want..i guess if it was advertised more it would close every bar in limerick down.

Some tables were giving 50ml servings whereas some of the wine tables were filling you up. Good night for some if you made the most of the drinking.

It was their first attempt but id say they will run it again after that

Any word on when this place is opening? Very excited about this, Limerick is long overdue a craft beer place and its great to hear the owners seem to be doing it right.
