    Seems to be a large brewer, or Lidl contracting with a large brewer, to take advantage of the growth in so-called "craft" beer.

    How anybody could sell a 7.9% beer in a 50cl can...............

    Yep, it's Eichbaum. They do other stuff for Lidl too.

    Popped around to Lidl to get the six Belgian beers for 15 quid (and got the last two boxes) and also picked up several four packs of gulden draak 9000 at four for 8.99 euro, huge value there for an excellent beer.

    Yes.

    I bought the Gulden Draak instead, just about to open one.

    I also bought Marston's Pedigree 50cl, 4 for 6 euro, lovely beer, great value.

    Just finished first Gulden Draak, you don't taste the 10.5%.

    I'd say the wife will hear it though, I'll probably be snoring.

    Bavaria do an 8.6% in a 500mL can. That's not an endorsement btw - just sayin' :)

    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.

    Had a can of Ballymahon newbies Wide Street Brewing's Bret Saison hopped with East Kent golding yesterday. Absolutely top class stuff. Lovely young brew flavours play really well with the dry peppery belle saison yeast. Hops give a pleasant low-key bitterness a grassy piney contrast to the young Bret fruitiness.

    Had St Mels Proliferation Swartzbier 2 nights ago must. Thought it was rather nice change from the usual pale ales most Irish breweries do. Pours nearly as dark as a stout. Smokey and tastes very full bodied for a beer that's just 4.8%

    Had the Wide Street Saison tonight, I enjoyed it. Real funky nose on it, similar characteristics you'd get off a Normandy cider. Noticeably hopped for a saison. They put up a list of stockists on their Twitter page https://twitter.com/WideStreetBrew/status/1139226758165794816?s=09

    Cracked open my Kinnegar Three Bagger Belgian Tripel. Bought back in Nov17 and tasting very nice. Not as much yeast character as the Belgians but less of the sugary dryness too. Lovely malt character behind it.

    Just opened a bottle of Brut IPA from Sierra Nevada.. It's not bad overall and the dryness is definitely noticeable

    They had it in a few weeks ago for their "beer festival"

    There was loads of it left in the LIDL in Lucan on Ballyowen today.



    I am sure there could be a lot of it left in some of the other Lidls around the place.
