Beer, Wine, Spirits, etc. - New releases thread

BaZmO*

Luckily enough over the last while we've had a glut of new beers from Irish breweries being released on a regular basis so it'd be nice to have one place where they can be announced/listed.

I'm actually surprised that we don't have one of these threads already and limnam suggested that we should start one.

Hopefully we'll just keep it to announcements of new brews only - expected date & outlets & some info about the beer.
Discussion of said brews should have their own thread or go to the "What beer are we drinking this week, too?" thread.

I'd imagine it'll be announcements of new beers more than anything else, as news beers tend to be created more frequently than say spirits, but we won't limit it to just beers.

Anyway, enough waffle.

Thanks for setting this up lads I think it could be a great resource.
Ideally I'd love to see some breweries come in and give boards users an early heads up on things in the tank

I'll get the ball rolling with something I'm looking forward to.

OHara's Foreign Affair

Limited edition Collaboration with Star Hill.
It's a Red IPA with Malt and Hops from Both Ireland and USA.

Looking forward to trying this, I seen O'Briens seem to have it in stock at the moment.

A new brewery in Galway have just opened up, Wild Bat. They have a pilot pouring in a few places in Dublin.

Wish them all the best.

I'm slightly suspicious of a brewery with slick logos and website, but saying absolutely nothing about their beers on the website.

They're actually just a bunch of home brewers that decided to take a punt at it. I'm guessing the reason they don't have much about their beers is because they don't appear to have a core range as of yet. Their first one is called pilot 1, and it's a California Common.

I'm looking forward to trying their stuff. Love their logo aswell.

Perhaps not, the current euro/stg situation is causing a huge price increase on imports, you'd probably see 500ml bottles priced at about €5 in an off licence, and ridiculous prices in bars too.

They are opening a brewery in Berlin too. Still though, their beers are pretty expensive even in USA.

RasTa

They are also opening a German brewery, probably supplying whole of Europe from there so exchange rate shouldn't be an issue

Yeah that €/£ situation is a killer. I'd normally get some rare enough beers from BrewDog but it's just too expensive at the moment. Well that and Parcel Motel cracking down on deliveries too!

Might be old news at this stage.

A "robust" Milk Stout from O'Hara's. Another Collaboration with Browar Pinta.

I believe it's only in a few select stores. Ones I know of is Baggot Wines and Martins Off license in fairview.

Looking forward to this as I'm starting to get a taste for this style of Stout.

Lovely Bloke

At least it's branded.

Bit of a strange one. Blacks of Kinsale have distilled a poitin. Interested to try it!

At the alltech festival Blackwater had a gin that they had distilled with Blacks so it is probably a step on from that

8 degrees have an India Pale Larger on the way called Nomad.

Nope.
Blackwater had/have a gin.
Blackwater also had a hop vodka distilled from Black's Hi Viz IPA.
Blackwater have done a poiteen distilled from Dungarvan oatmeal stout.

Black's could well have a poiteen too as they have bought a still.

The vodka was crap so I wouldn't get your hopes up on any of them.

Tasted the poitín.
I thought it was really really good.
But what would I know? I also really liked the Blackwater / Black's hop vodka too.
Thing is, I find Irish people don't really get white spirits.

New ones from Metalman.

Wexford 1798 launching with a lager and blonde ale. Doing the United Irishmen proud by honouring them with a beer brewed in The Netherlands. Seeing a lot of anger about it down in Wexford anyway.

I've taken out all the BrewDog Bar Ireland talk and created another thread, because as is all too common in B&W&S we tend to go very off topic.

New thread here.

The wrong picture is pretty standard when they put up new stuff.

Noticed the Model T duplicate too. Not sure what's going on there though.

Turns out that the €4.90 one was Hi Viz, they got the name and picture wrong.

New sour by Galway bay in Brewdock. maybe Next Monday. Delicious! 3.2% and €6.75 a pint, mention of citrus on the tap, barman didn't know too much about it

It's been fermenting in oak at the back of the Oslo in the old brew house for 18 months, I look forward to trying it. Had "Maybe Next Monday" the other week and liked it.

There's ads all over Birmingham for a spiced rum Fosters. I'm almost intrigued enough to try it, but I need to be on a flight back tomorrow and the vomiting might not have ended!
