Tonight I had a kinnegar scraggy bay and a few friar Weisse by Franciscan Well. I have one of Galway Bay’s 200 hundred fathoms to look forward to tomorrow.

Night #4: Orval Trappist ale; Subliminal Imperial stout (Buxton Brewery)

Love the 2018 200 Fathoms, it's the best one for a few years imo.

I've been to Spain for the holidays
The problem over there is that bars usually have one or two taps and always stick to the local ones, like Mahou in Madrid and such, or the usual Heineken.

Surprised to see this time that many bars have a larger selection of local breweries, mostly bottled.

I lost track of all I had

Had pleasure of a few of these earlier in Brody’s Tap House, Den Haag. Delicious stuff.

McCambridges in Galway had one bottle of it left in their fridge the last time I was there.

Blackrock cellar had it, they might still have some. A very nice beverage indeed.

Night #whatever: White Hag brewery, Meabh Rua. A 750ml bottle of 8.2% Imperial Red Ale. Bottled in 2016. Also purchased on Shop Street in Galway. Enjoyed slowly over the last 2 hours.

Also enjoyed recently: 8 Degrees, Hopsfume IPA. Great way to see out 2018. Gorgeous beer.

Lovely spot, defo worth a look IMO. Its primarily Carrig brewing beers and they have a good selection of them. The Oarsman is also defo worth checking out but its quite a foody pub so can be tricky to get a seat just for pints.... they are pretty much beside each other in any case.

Barrelstore is a decent bar with a good craft selection. Mainly from Carrig brewery as already stated. Check out Gings if you are going across the bridge....

I have now invested £100 into Verdant's crowdcube funding yoke.

Is the hype real ??

RasTa

I dunno anymore, I certainly enjoyed it but wouldn't buy again for awhile at that price.

Back home for 2 days today. Anything to look out for? Have a 200 fathoms waiting

The new whiplash double is lovely.. I'm a double and whiplash lover though ..

Also the new kinnegar double New England is great too if you're that way inclined

If you're in Dublin and want branded glasses, Blackrock Cellar always had a decent selection any time I was in there.
