    Bought a 4 pack of the Toast IPA, made with not-actually-stale-but-would-be-if-kept-on-sale (from what I can tell) bread as a grain source, in Dunnes

    Its drinkable but not fantastic.

    The York Tap in York railway station is great. In Leeds, Whitelocks is a lovely trad pub and the Northern Monk Refectory is worth the slight trek out of the city centre.

    The original Brewdog in Leeds is nice aesthetically, wedged in to a small space at the edge of an old markets (I think - I could just google to check...) but closes very early as no need for a late licence. There now appears to be a second one, never been to it and I won't be back before you (two weeks)!

    Eight Degrees Yellow Ball - terrible, diacetyl overpowers everything else. In the last year I've had diacetyl bombs from 8 Degrees, Kinnegar, Yellowbelly & Trouble. Apart from Whiplash the micro brews in this country have taken steps backwards and the main culprit is terrible QC

    I really didn’t like it either. I didn’t get any diacetyl though. I just thought it was a fizzy twangy bitter lager, with not much much in the way of hop or malt flavours.

    12 Acres Hazy IPA, really nice, fruity, bitterness, and super drinkable. Really impressed.

    It wasn't full on diacetyl, more "kinnegar big bunny 2018" than "those Trouble Ambush cans". Still a drainpour tho

    Has it aged well? I still have a couple of bottles of it myself that I should crack open sometime soon.

    Just had my aforementioned 2017 bottle. Aged well enough in all fairness, i would say it was missing a little sweetness if i had to highlight anything. Still tops though.

    Found my local selling 8degrees blowhard for €4 and Brooklyns black choc stout for €4.2 so i will be taking full advantage of that!

    It's interesting how tastes vary. I had this (from a can) at the weekend and didn't detect any hoppy fruitiness from it. Personally I didn't really like it.

    Let me guess, that ones £30? :p

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    In the second Brewdog in Leeds having their 0.5% stout which is only a tiny bit thin bodied to reveal/indicate that it is that low alcohol

    Spent the afternoon in Dead Center in Athlone yesterday. My stand out beer was a Brett saison from Wide Street Brewing in Ballymahon...a fantastic beer

    Sans Juice was surprisingly good. Maybe one of my favourites this year. Buxton clawtrack IPA on the other hand was pretty bland and a tad thin, which I really didn't expect at 6.4%.

    If it’s the Tropical Torpedo, I think it’s a good beer but not very tropical.
