    Had a few Dungarven Minehead last night. It has a malty body and some nice citrusy hops to balance off the sweetness.

    Had Wicklow Wolf's 'Kentucky Brown' last night. First beer from them that I have been disappointed with, I had been turning into a fan boy.

    No real flavour at first, even after warming it only had very mild hints of malt, complete lack of anything going on, which considering my love of everything else of theirs I have tried is a major disappointment.

    The missus brought be back a Young's Special London Ale with the shopping because...ya know...she knows what I'm like. (Tickers be tickin'!)

    It's very good. Loads of body and spicy sweetness. Quite impressed...

    Had it on tap last weekend, it's such an unmistakable hop. I liked it but I'd imagine it's not to everyone's taste!

    supping on Laguinitas IPA while watching the football.

    Its nearly too easy to drink, its so sweet, like nectar :P

    Had a bottle of the new 8 degrees "Grand stretch". Not a bad IPA at all, but not as good as their other special "polar vortex"

    Jesus Athlone is a desert for craft. Hooker and something called Kentucky Ale on tap in the one bar I was in, Seans Bar the oldest bar in Ireland. The Kentucky is bland.

    Local centra had one shelf of decent beers so I got Hobgoblin and O'Hara's Pale to watch the match with.

    You see this is what you get for going to Athlone. That said, check out the Malt House http://www.tripadvisor.ie/Attraction_Review-g212091-d4687020-Reviews-The_Malt_House-Athlone_County_Westmeath.html

    Enjoy the midlands

    Connacht Pale Ale. Not a lot of taste but very carbonated, light and refreshing. Would be great on a hot day or for the lager drinker.
    Don't know who brews it at the moment but it says 'Brewed on the west coast of Ireland for Connemara Brewery, Cong'.
    To be followed by a couple of Hopplehammer.

    Had a couple of Maeloc Sidras from Galica last night. The Dulce organic one was lovely, the Seca not as much so but I didn't try it with ice. Gave the flavoured versions to a friend but she hasn't tried them yet. Love the bottle design and the ring pull caps are handy.

    Currently drinking a Brewdog Alice Porter. It's quite bitter, like good dark chocolate, but it feels strangely watery and a little unsatisfying in the mouth. Not a bad beer, but there are plenty of other porters out there that I'd choose before it.

    Following the porter up with another Brewdog, Bourbon Baby. It's a barrel aged Scotch ale and it's absolutely superb. Really tasty wee heavy, and while the bourbon is very noticeable, it doesn't overpower the maltiness of the beer in any way. It's a pity it's so expensive as this is definitely a beer I'd buy regularly if it was cheaper.

    8 degrees Grand Stretch another lovely IPA from them.

    Dizzy Blonde by Robinsons (in England last week) not a bad summer ale was on cask and went down very well in the sunshine. Had a nice zest to it.

    I really liked their brown ale, pale ale was grand but on their first major batch, the rest of their selection was lacklustre.

    Their brewer was the head brewer in O ' Haras before he broke out with a few mates.
