Folks: We've hit 10,000 posts in the old thread, so we've had to call time on it as the hamsters get tipsy when a thread gets that big. But, the shutters are up & the kegs are tapped for the next round... Edit: Just putting in a link to the original thread. :) What beer are we drinking this week ?

I'm sure there'll be more delivered tomorrow.

They did the same thing last year, they kept delivering it bit by bit, and were constantly "finding" boxes of the stuff in the brewery. I suppose it helps with the buzz.

In fairness, they need to spend their profits on something.

May as well be "buzz"

Not much change from 20 for 2.

It's 10% though

I was in the drury restaurant last night and they had bottles of dogfish head, my Antonia. €9 a bottle but I had to try it. Was very good indeed. I Never thought I'd see dogfish in Ireland. The restaurant had a fantastic craft beer selection.

Well, this is not Dogfish head beer. Not even close.
Sam Calagione, from Dogfish Head Brewery, visit Italy and did collaboration beer with birradelborgo.
It is a nice hoopy pilzner i have to say but it is not dogfish head brewed in usa. It is avaiable in beter off licences in dublin for 4€ Sorry pal but i would pay 15€ for genuine 60 min ipa all day long.

Jesus Christ. I decided on a whim to get on a bus in the general direction of home and popped into WJK on the way past.

The new Hooker IPA on cask for a start.

2 Sirens. And I'll need to have a liquid Mistress before I leave AND a Soundwave too.

Luckily they have Bloody Ell in cans to take away

Not on sale there until tomorrow, I remember when it was re-released on draught a few months ago, I ran down expecting it to be packed and I was the first to have a glass (or 5)

Not sure on the price. I had thought it was cheap but i was trying to pay for a split round so may have got a free beer because i payed about 23 for 2 bottles of THF a glass of THF and another beer.

Anyway it was a fantastic beer. Started out with plum, cherry, and molasses. Followed up with the whiskey hit that mellowed into vanilla
