What beer are we drinking this week, too?

Ronan|Raven

Decided to go on an adventure. Pint of Wrasslers in porter central. Enjoying a very nice pint of porter on cask in sweetmans. What next.. Might venture across the bridge to the black sheep in search of old rosie

Growler each of Lagunitas IPA and Whitehag Oktoberfest, both great.

Have kinnegar released a bad beer?
Drinking otway now, just finished scraggy bay.

I've loved their yannaroddy (really want to add
coconut to a stout now) and their rustbucket may be my favourite of all, even above the geuzberry.

Some of their beers aren't amazing (the red ale, Devil's backbone I think, for example) but none of them are bad and some of them are bloody delicious. One of my favourite Irish breweries. Love Rustbucket and Scraggy Bay.

Having one of the Francis' stupidly named IPA I got in the heist from Dunnes the other night. It's a really good beer but I can't help feel like they just decided "lets make it taste like Punk!". Nothing wrong with that mind, I love punk.

I do think it's a little under carbed though.

Funny you mention Punk. I don't think it tastes like Punk but I do think it tastes a lot like one of the many BrewDog one off brews. It really is a great beer for the price, but price aside I still think it holds up.

Deception on cask and hopped to **** in porte temple. Im not sure what I was expecting with hopped to **** . Solid beer but felt a tad underwhelmed

Kinnegar Yannaroddy Porter. Flawless tonight.

Earlier on I was in spoons and had Minagof Smoked Porter, very nice, spent this evening with Westmalle Dubbel, Rochefort 8 and St Bernardus Abt 12

That in the TTT or 40FT? I have a few days off work so may venture to the TTT.

The McGargles new IPA is decent. I'd suggest they need to withdraw the bizarre original one and let this replace it on tap.

Anyone try the Beavertown Black IPA, Black Betty? Its sublime.

Absolutely loved it on tap. 6.8% of black creamy heaven!

Saturday night i had a couple of Hofbrau Maibock, very nice, nutty, caramel, malty. A Wild Beer Co Millionaire Chocolate Salted Caramel Stout, sweet, bitter coffee, caramel smoothness, i didnt get much salt, nice but a glass was enough for me. Finally 8 degrees Vic Secret Black IPA, beautiful drink.

Currently drinking it in the Salthouse in Galway. Definitely my kind of beer.

I had a small sample of it at the Alltech fest back in the spring. Good memories of that day. Beavertown's cans are a little bit out of my price range at the moment, unfortunately.

Thought I'd finished all of the eight degrees millennium I had bought, until I found a lonely one sitting on the shelf in the local supervalu...yay

Now to do as they said in their vid and leave it for another month or so and see if the flavours have changed or to have it tonight....hmm

baron von something

I have a bottle of GBB's Eternalist staring at me. Dunno whether to drink it now or save it

RasTa

RasTa

O'Brother's The Sinner. Been seriously impressed with everything from O'Brother so far and this is no different.

Great beer. Disappointed with the chancer in bottles tho. Loved it in draft but seems too bitter in the bottle.

Ronan|Raven

A pint of Bengali in Wetherspoons. They have a decent selection on for the ale festival in the three tun tavern. A Nogne Nordic Noir next I think

Had a bottle tonight, great beer, but the flavours are beginning to go imo, so get it in you.

GBBs Maybe next monday is really good, blacks sour brown ale stunk so badly though

Insect Overlord

I'm hoping to be in Galway tomorrow evening, must give Maybe Next Monday a go if I get the chance.

Had a little treat tonight of O'Hara's Amber Adventure. I still like it!

Me too. Unfortunately the brewery decided it didn't like the recipe so isn't planning to brew it again

Utdfan20titles

The St Mels stuff they brew in Longford isn't bad. Pretty cheap too.

I live in France at the moment, where the beer here is all Belgian. Belgian beers are nice but theyre all wheaty and malty, and all kinda taste the same after a while. Theyre also very strong, 8-10% on average, and while thats fun, I find that the taste sometimes get lost in the alcohol.

I am coming back to visit on Friday and needless to say I will be drinking Kinnegars Scraggy Bay all week! God I miss Irish ales so much!

Had Odell Myrcenary Double IPA and Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout earlier for the first time. Both outstanding.
