    Oh and you're banned for a week for questioning a mod.

    I got sleepy because I'm old. And you didn't use mod voice. You are more confusing than the teenage girls I work with!

    Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp. It's a Belgian Style India Pale Ale. Really nice and different beer.

    There's a fair few others around. Flying Dog's Raging Bitch is one of my favourites. La Chouffe's Houblon Chouffe is very good too.

    8 Degrees Hurricane. Much better than last year, and it wasn't bad then! I was drinking Founders Centennial and All Day IPAs with it, but Hurricane was the best of the lot. If this, Amber Ella and the Full Irish were continuously available for 4/10€ my sunny day drinks would be sorted for a while...

    Discovery documentary series from 1989 called "The Beer Hunter", presented by renowned beer critic Michael Jackson that's worth a watch

    Pedigree New World by Marstons. Jesus lads, I walked into a pub in Beaumaris expecting to end up settling for a Guinness, asked about this beer on cask and the barmaid gave me a taster. Before I even got a chance to taste it, the smell blew me away. It smelt amazing, grapefruit and Clementine, the taste was much the same with a nice malt backbone and a lovely dry bitter finish.
    I didn't expect much from that beer, especially not in that pub but it was fecking lovely. Proper american style pale ale by a mainstream English brewery not known for making great beers.
    Very pleasant surprise, I recommend you seek it out if you're in the UK.

    Arrived home last night from a 3 night trip to brussels.

    Highlights included

    Westmalle dubbel and triple on tap, a variety of gueze, lambic and kriek's at cantillon. Hopus and vieil orval served with a shot glass for the yeast sediment.
    Delirium cafe is a must visit, 2000 odd bottles as well as a dedicated tap bar and Hoppy specials in the loft.
    Had a triple hopped Duvel Soriachi Ace, sweet baby Jesus.

    Amazing beer city

    Regular Pedigree is absolutely awful. I bought a large number of cans from Tesco for 50c each a couple of years ago and never managed to finish them. There's just nothing there.

    It was on in L. Mulligan Grocer during the week too. Storming beer, and a great advert for not filtering.

    I managed to get my hands on two of the new bottles, had the Whistle Blower there and have the Brown Ale for later. Really impressed with Graffiti and Whistle Blower.

    Hearing good things about a new brewery in Wexford called Blackstairs (i think)

    Has anyone had their beer, been (un)reliably informed they only do one so far and it's a "Ruby Red Pale Ale"?

    Never heard of that style before, anyone tried it?

    Blackstairs seem to be brewing up a small bit of a storm (no pun intended) on Twitter. Will grab a few next time I'm home

    Has anyone had it? Beernut, I'm looking at you?

    You get more time for social media when you don't have a brewery to maintain ;)

    Just finished a bottle. It's odd: lots of dark roast and lots of astringent hops, for two kinds of bitterness at once. It's well made, and I'm sure other people will like it, but it was too much hard work for me.

    No was in PH central.

    Tried the new saison by galway bay today. I dont like saisons i can safely say at this stage but this one seemed a bit more approachable than most.

    Had 7 hops by rogue as well. Quite nice but id take a trouble graffiti over it. Even an all day ipa had me thinking back to the graffiti. Nice work trouble!

    Was in the pav and they had barrelhead which has a weird lagerish taste to it. Alfie byrnes in the sun is a great spot i must also add.

    Had a N17 rye tonight. Nice and malty with a bit of spice but would prefer a bit more hops

    Having an 8 degree hurricane now. Still lovely but not sure if it's quite as nice as last year

    How much was it there? Getting this 3.6% ABV beer for under a fiver is a dream I have yet to realise.

    Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout. Had it years ago, before I earned my high abv badge, and seem to remember that I struggled trying to finish. Whole different kettle of fish this time though. It's such a great beer.
    I love any stouts where you can really taste the finishing hops and they're perfect here.

    The Norseman, formerly Farringtons, in Temple Bar has an excellent range of craft beers. As well as an entended range of O'haras beers they have a number of 8 Degrees seasonals, Belgians and rotation taps. The prices were also reasonable - €5.40 for a draught Leann Follain. Had it not been for the volume of the wretched guitar man it would have been perfect. But alas this was temple bar.

    I had an O'hara's Nitro Red in the Stag's Head tonight as well but found that the nitro really dissipated the flavour of what I consider a great beer in the original form.
