    Flew down to McHugh's before closing to grab a "study beer". Got two cans of Modus Hoperandi, cracked one open the second I got back, should have waited a few minutes, think it got a bit excited rattling around in my panniers, Finding it hard to get to the beer through the massive pillowy head I got in the glass and I'm really impatient.

    I'm sure I've said so before, but anyway, Founders porter is outrageously good.

    Meanwhile, a Dirty Bastard waits in the wings...

    I agree.

    I still think my favourite porter which is regularly available in Ireland is Anchor though.

    I haven't seen Anchor anywhere in Limerick. Will keep my eyes open for it.

    I asked the barman for a glass of his finest IPA. I got that back in return. I was going around telling everyone how toasty and dark their IPA was.

    Awkward...

    When it was first released they were calling it "galaxy single hop amber ale", this quickly changed to "inter galactic ale" or "IGA".

    It could pass as either tbh but it's definitely on the redder side of pale. I think it's a fantastic beer either way.

    GBB peanut butter stout. Ok but not very peanut buttery. Can't help but think GBB are selling their failed experiments in their bars at full price

    I picked up some GBB Full Sail, Stormy Port and Buried at Sea in the local Spar's much improved and slightly discounted range. I had my first bottle of Full Sail a couple of weeks ago, having tried a very lackluster draught effort a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it. I'm well acquainted with Buried at Sea, though not from a bottle. It's been a long time since I tried Stormy Port so I'm quite excited to try these all again over the weekend.

    It's a pilot brew, the entire point of having a pilot brew is to sell it in your bar and see if it the public like it or not, every brewery worth their salt does this as a method of trying new beers.

    Make a small batch, sell it and see how it goes.
    If the public like it, you make more, if they don't you sell it off and forget about it or adapt the recipe for the next batch.

    I'd rather encourage innovation and experimentation than complain about being sold "failed experiments", from any brewery.

    If you haven't had Fullsail in an few years you're in for a surprise, same for Stormy Port, both are much changed in the last year.

    Moving on...

    Coisbo Beer: Four. Russian Imperial Stout. 50 cl, 10% ABV.
    I'm enjoying it, but it doesn't pack as much of a punch as I was expecting.

    I haven't tried the peanut butter stout, but I felt similarly when I tried the pilot saison last month.

    I thought it was an awful beer, and one which cost me €4.75 for 2/3rds of a pint (at less than 5% ABV).
