Leffe (Belgian blonde) and Erdinger (German weissbier) . Quite nice, but not very unusual!

The Blind Pig has a very good selection of unusual draft beers.

Michael Flannerys on Denmark Street have Leffe, Hoegaarden, Caledonian among other on draft as well as about 30 other in bottles.
I am trying but still have not tasted them all!!!

I managed to find the Beer List for Michael Flannerys. You can decide on your beers before you arrive at the pub.
I must print if off myself and tick all the one I have tried

Flannerys opposite the Icon do a wooden paddle thing of Hoeggarden, Leffe, Caledonia Smooth and Erdinger for €5. Its only 300ml glasses of each but mainly just to give you a taste of the stuff. Heard the Blind Pig have a cask of fresh stuff from the Franciscan Well every Friday, so fresh as can be but thrown out by Monday since cask doesn't maintain freshness for long.

Hopefully they'll have some so on saturday

surprisingly Smyths have a few craft beers on tap as well, not sure which ones now but they had a few different ones a few months ago

O'Connells/Old Quarter used to have a few but not sure whats in there now. Lock Bar serve Ballyhoura Stout which is pretty good

Probably the most unusual you'll find in the most unlikely of pubs is Ruby Red Ale by the White Gypsy Brewery (Templemore) on draft in the Glen Tavern. Excellent beer and well worth the trip to Lower Glentworth Street.

Not just Franciscan Well...they had a very hoppy cask from Trouble Brewing on a few weeks back.

Looks like I'm off to the glen, used to drink this stuff when i was staying my parents in Tipp, fantastic Irish red.

had a lovely evening in the Blind Pig, highly recommend it, we tried, the Cask Ale (free sample) and had a couple draft pints of same in the sun outside, big difference between the cask and the draft but really enjoyed it then proceeded to have some Smugglers Ale, Stiegl, Whycraft, Proper Job, Barbar Bok, Karmeliten Gold a very enjoyable few hours spent

Not in Limerick. Nearest is Cork or Galway. There may be one in Limerick soon though.

Sounds fantastic! Think I'll move in on Friday afternoon and take a seat for the night!
