    From Drinkstore's Facebook: After a pricing error from @galwaybaybrew the price of Of Foam and Fury has been reduced to €5.70 per bottle ... Worth every penny !!! Awesome brew !!!

    Right then. Are we back on the OFAF guys? :p

    5.70 is much better and more along with what I expected. Still on the pricey side but getting there.

    I'd still prefer if they could do a 330ml bottle for around 3.50 (or less) down the road

    Ha. There generally wasn't though. :)

    At Christmas there was always a tray of Guinness, Harp and Smithwicks bought to cover all bases.

    Me neither.
    €5 would seem about right for it.

    I can buy 50cl bottle of Schneider Hopfenweisse (8.2%) for about €3.50

    I'll let you know in half an hour when I get to the one in Lucan! :D

    P.S. Carry Out in Rathborne didn't have it earlier.

    if double IPA means twice as undrinkableas normal IPA (to sections of the population like myself who dont class a beer being horrendusly bitter as a good thing) then that'd be another reason to believe that you wont have the place stormed by the masses.

    Widmer Bros Pitch Black IPA...

    I found this a bit 'meh', lacking in the hop kick I normally crave but otherwise very quaffable.

    O'Brien's didn't have it. I had to settle for a bottle of Full Sail. :(

    Decided to sample a bottle of Liberties Dublin Ale this evening.
    Lacks a little bit of carbonation and while the initial taste was quite pleasant, I'm now halfway through and am getting a mild sort of "soapy" taste, similar to what I get from the likes of a Miller, Heineken etc.
    A little tweaking and I reckon they would have a nice beer on their hands.

    Had the Pondhopper it was very nice but never got the Thornbridge side of it.

    Galway Bay Full Sail with the new bottle caps is really up there.

    I hadn't had a bottle of it for a while but I agree, it was very nice tonight.
    Now on a bottle of Thornbridge Chiron. Dare I say, it's almost too balanced!

    Brewdog Hoppy Christmas (using up the Christmas stash)... decent.
    Porterhouse the Devils Half Acre - interesting, you can really get the barrel aging. It's a big beer, a sipper. Lovely sweet, dark fruit tang going on. I love that we are producing beers like this! Lovely stuff.

    Anyone got any opinions on Schneider Weisse Tap 5? I have a bottle chilling in the fridge at home but haven't gotten around to it yet.

    This stuff is majestic

    A Christmas present. Not bad. Light red ale, minimal hops and bitterness, but quite malty with being overly sweet.

    Sipping on a Mikkeller Crooked Moon DIPA. Really nice.

    Stone Pale Ale it's not my cup of tea anymore. A few years ago I did like it but now just find it plain taste to me.

    Used to be able to get Devils half acre for 3.39 a bottle, crazy good value. Best barley wine I've had.

    Had a kinsale ipa, not very good. "Bursting with hops" it aint. Had a bottle of Foam and Fury too, nice but seems to be lacking carbonation like a lot of Irish beers.

    I had one last Friday and thought the exact same as yourself. Also much prefer their IPA

    Currently having a Big Job but it doesn't taste at all nice after my last beer which was an 8 Degrees Hurricane.

    Had one pint each of Howling Gale Ale and Sabotage IPA tonight. I've been neglecting them these past six dark (stout and porter) months. Very nice, if a little on the cold side.

    I had a bottle of Big Job last night and loved it. Must try to find a Hurricane somewhere before they've all disappeared.

    I went for one today based on your post, despite not being a fan of wheat beers in general, but found it to be very nice indeed. Good call.

    Normally I love Big Job but it just doesn't work after Hurricane. The tastes are far too different. Completely different hops
