What beer are we drinking this week, too?

Thornbridge / Sierra Nevada Twin Peaks supposed to an English / American pale ale.

Lots of tropical fruit flavours going on.
A slight hint of hops in the end but nothing to write home about.

A couple of bottles of Full Sail Ipa. I haven't had it since they changed the recipe. Very enjoyable.

It's a case of night and day in my eyes. It suddenly has become one of the better Irish pale ales.

I was looking for it in O'Briens this week and they were out of stock.

Got some Black's Session IPA though - thoroughly enjoyed it.

I got it down in the Carrickmines branch of O'Briens.

had a tiny rebel hadouken ipa and a beavertown gammaray ipa, good, but not blown away. currently having brewdog's shipwrecker circus, pretty good barleywine

the beer revolu

Cottonball's Indian Summer is really light, really fresh and really nice. One of the better new brewerys around, if you ask me.

Lots of Radeberger and Rothaus Pils, two of my favourite pilsners tbh.

Got a care package of a few bottles of O'Hara's, saving them for a special occasion (i.e Sunday) :D:D

Great treat indeed. Did you buy them in Ireland, or ship them from Bamberg?

More St Austens Proper Job, so nice.

Murphys is delicious. I still get the odd couple of cans of it, which are ok, but the first time I tried it was in Carlow on draught and it was lovely.

I've bought cans of Murphy's upon occasion but they always seem so expensive and never quite the same in terms of taste.

As a readily available, go-to stout for drinking at home I must say that I quite enjoy Beamish. It's cheap and uncomplicated. I don't mind the widget really.

O'Shea's from Aldi is a cut above it, for sure, but frequently out of stock, I find.

I'll have to keep my eye out for that Aldi one, but I tried Beamish from a can and it wasn't for me

O'Hara's make the aldi 's o'shea's

Actually, I think I read that on here before. I'd definitely be interested in giving that a go.

Straight from Bamberg. Took about a week to deliver but was worth the wait.

The Red is the best of them, fairly middle of the road stuff.

Who are McGargles? Never struck me as craft but can't figure out who brews it as I've never bought any. I'm still scarred after I bought a bottle of Fúcking Hell for the craic and it was piss.

drumswan

Think they are a group of ex-industry types starting their own brewing concern in Ireland. The beer is brewed under contract in the UK until their Irish operation gets up and running. There is talk of all sorts of seasonals and specials and edgy type brews being produced once they get a start in Ireland. Hopefully it wont be under the 'McGargles' moniker, it truly must be one of the worst marketing ideas in the history of beer

Drinking a Mescans Westporter Stout, have been really impressed with all three beers in the series.

This evening I'm relaxing with an Alesmith IPA. My god it's a beautiful beer. Have a few other beers from them that I'll open up over the next few months.

The 3 beers that I've tried from Alesmith have all been phenomenal.
