    The Wicklow Wolf locavore dry stout is gorgeous.

    The one in the red can (wild hoppy something) is top notch too.
    The quality is consistent too.

    Picked up a couple of cans of this tonight. I'm finding it just OK, bit disappointed. Wicklow Wolf beers are usually great but this is fairly middle of the road for me.

    Was in Carlow last weekend. Went to Carpenters to watch rugby match. Had a couple of draught pints of Sullivans Malting Irish Ale brewed in Kilkenny. Liked it very much. Good body...an old fashioned red ale.


    Went into their offie. Great range of craft beers. Only bought 2 . A 44 cl of Sullivans Maltings (5%). Had it tonight and enjoyed it very much.


    Also got a 12 Acres Oatmeal Porter 440 ml 5.2%. Just finishing and enjoying it.


    Both highly recommended.

    Not really. I think it's brewed in Dundalk now. Used to be Drogheda.

    Website says Kilkenny as does tin I fished out of recycling! Barman in pub told me it was brewed in old Smithwicks premises. So......? Anyway, I enjoyed it.

    The old Smithwicks premises is a flat development site.

    Postal address and brewing site do not always tie up

    A few Guinness West Indies. It’s very underrated because of the G word but it’s a lovely stout.

    Archway by Franciscan Well. Lovely lager! (Or "largger" as the lad says in the Hop House 13 ad).

    Cask stouts are king

    269091638?size=md

    Had that beauty yesterday, got to love when the brewers are pouring as gave me a half instead of a 1/3rd although it did take over an hour to sip away.

    Cask is made for stout, love to try some old Guinness stuff on it.

    I think I have a bottle of it, and a Devil's Half Acre, in a gift-pack somewhere. Haven't tried it yet though.

    I did a stout/porter tour of Limerick last night. Guinness in Tom Collins', Murphy's in Pharmacia, Beamish in Mickey Martin's, Left Hand nitro stout in Ma Hogan's, Needs More Cowbell in the Wickham Tap, and Treaty City's Sarsfield Stout in Mother Mac's. That should have been enough, but I couldn't resist an 8 Ball Metric Stout before leaving town. I'm just happy I can remember all of it at this stage!

    They're great, but need to be better enjoyed from a can at home.

    Really good, rare that I'd drink imperials when I'm out but I had to have it

    Decent spin around town!
    What was the Left Hand Nitro like on draught? Had it in a can recently and its pretty good.

    I only had a can out of their fridge as well. Don't think I've ever been lucky enough to find it on draught! :o

    Two new Whiplash beers, Sky Burial & Whirlpool of Love, first new ones from their new brewery! Very exciting for them to have a reliable home.

    Untappd "year in review" for me:

    400 TOTAL CHECK-INS
    374 UNIQUE BEERS
    158 DIFFERENT BREWERIES
    79 DIFFERENT STYLES

    How does that untappd thing work? I looked at it once but there was no way to put in beers you’d already had so you’d need to be doing it from the day you started drinking.

    Yeah I add them as I go. You can add them later as well but usually people state in the comment if it was from previously. The beers you drink appear in your friends feed so if you added 500 beers as a batch they might be annoyed. Or whatever, it's not that serious, do as you like!

    Opening up my last can of Pointy Shoes tonight. It's Christmas now, right?

    I’m still holding on to my last one. It’ll have to be a night of no other drink.
