Going to pick it up tomorrow.

The only issue I've seen is that they're quite thin but sure I guess they're just like wine glasses in that sense. Just need to be careful.

I have the Sierra Nevada IPA glass and a brewdog one, both very thin alright but great glasses

Are the spigel ones thicker than Sierra nevada? My ipa glass from them lasted a week. One they were handing out at the Italian fest still going strong.

Oh and heard some interesting info as to when stone beers will be arriving

As far as I can tell they are the same. Just branded. Do they look different?

Just in case, how did you break yours so I can take extra care! :P

Anyone try the stuff from Kildare Brewery Kellys Mountain Brew? Had 2 bottles of their redemption IPA last night. Lovely stuff.

Having a Grafter's IPA while watching the Fuzzbawls. Picked it up while grabbing a rake of Lagunitas and a few other bits today.

I had it back in the summer and thought it was very bland, they must have changed the recipe a lot because it's really nice now, very hop forward. Proper American style IPA now so it is, €2.45 for a 500ml bottle of a decent 6.5% IPA, nice one!

Lad don't pay 20+ for the IPA glasses. McHughs have them for 7. Picked one up last week with a rake of beers to justify shipping costs.

It's €20 for three glasses though, so it's slightly cheaper per unit from drinkstore and you get two different style glasses too.

RasTa · 23-01-2016 10:38pm

You get 3 glasses in the pack for 20

Had my first taste of Galway Hooker IPA tonight. ..very nice....almost a smokey flavour there....thumbs up.

dintbo · 24-01-2016 6:14pm

Just finished my first porterhouse oyster stout. Beautiful stuff. Why oh why have I not drank that before.

UnknownSpecies · 25-01-2016 11:14am

Didn't see it was 3 glasses! Good deal there so.

Koptain Liverpool · 25-01-2016 1:00pm

I love all things craft beer.

But I'm surely not the only one who thinks that a special pint glass for IPA is completely ridiculous.

Had a bottle of Yannaroddy from Kinnegar tonight to try out my Spiegelau. Nice and decent porter. Sweet with a very light hint of coconut.

Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout

On draught in The Beer Market. Rich, full bodied with all sorts of coffee and fruity flavours. Delicious stuff.

ben.schlomo · 26-01-2016 1:05am

Trappistes 10 tonight, been sipping for over an hour, keeps getting better, real kick too at 11.3%. Had a Soulwater Renegade American Amber on Saturday in the Salthouse, really liked it, expected malt and caramel etc but a lovely hoppy flavour instead, well balanced too, very enjoyable.

Probably one of my favourite beers. It's very rare here on draught and very delicious:)

Had a Siren Quadrophenia at the weekend. I'm not a big fan of quads, a bit too raisiny for me, so I'm somewhat biased. It wasn't bad, however it didn't really have any of the big punchy flavours I was expecting. It was a little thin, lacked some body and was definitely over carbonated.

I then had a Siren Ryesing Tides. It was beautiful, as usual. It would be a perfect beer to enjoy on a nice hot day, if we ever see one of those here again!

Nope. I've asked in McCambridges twice, they have said that they are able to get it and it would be in the following weeks' delivery but no joy so far:(

irish_goat · 27-01-2016 10:42am

Galway Bay bars will probably be able to stock it if you ask them.

Must make it my business to get up to Dublin and try it on draught. Had a bottle over christmass.

Bottle of Founders Imperial Stout last night all I can say is Wow!

Uncle_moe · 27-01-2016 1:31pm

anyone know of anywhere in ireland that stocks the wider selection of beavertown brew i.e. skull king, bone king, other half duel of the fates etc?

They all get their Beavertown through the same distributor, Four Corners, so it's not likely that one specialist off licence will have a greater range than another.

Unfortunately not, the lads in the Salthouse are sick of me asking for it every other week:(

I'd say they will charge a nice premium on it if they do get it in
