    Hi all! Has anyone tried the new 8 degrees Going Out Out Kölsch? I'm generally a fan of an all-barley pale ale. Looking forward to trying this one..

    Not yet, 8 degrees seasonals can be quite slow to get around but they said they would be selling it at the craft beer event at the Camden exchange this weekend.
    That's where I'm planning to try it.

    Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout

    The finest oatmeal stout I've had yet. Very smooth and subtle flavours.

    Looks lovely, I really like a lot of Firestone's stuff. Where did you get it?

    One of the very few things I look forward to with the approach of winter is the increase in the amount of stouts being brewed:)

    I liked it. I wouldn't say it's exactly true-to-style for Kölsch -- not being crisp and lagery enough -- but it's a very decent blonde ale.

    Tried the full range of Foxes Rock beers. I liked the Stout and the Red was pretty inoffensive but the Pale Ale,IPA and IPL weren't great

    One of my 'go to' stouts for sure, mostly because it's widely available and just all round a quality stout.

    Their Irish Stout is well worth a sup IMO.

    Celebrating becoming an uncle for the first time tonight. Wetting the baby's head with Buxton's Ring Your Mother and a decadent KBS. While I was rooting our the KBS, I found a bottle of Battle Horse I totally forgot I had. In the words of Ice Cube.....today was a good day:)

    I had their Notorious and Opsession recently and was underwhelmed, however I had their IPA for the first time in a long time and really enjoyed it. But Leann Follain is the pick of the bunch.

    Picked this up in Molloys last night :

    Sierra Nevada Six Rights IPA its an 8% DIPA.

    Very creamy I thought , you know you were drinking a SN beer and had plenty of tropical flavors going on.

    Really liked it.

    I had that as part of a mix pack, I thought it was the best IPA I had in a long time. I thought it had a subtle lemon/lime taste to it.

    Love it myself. Long overdue one actually.

    Killed it for myself after taking advantage of a pricing error in Dunnes in Stephens Green. Instead of the 4 for €10 sign they had 5 for €10.

    Bought 15, wasn't the easiest cycle home that evening!

    KBS tonight. No occasion, just wanted to open it. Absolutely delicious.

    Edit: I almost regret drinking it now. Nothing I drink this weekend will compare to it!

    Had a bottled Blacks 1601 Lager tonight. Maybe I'm wrong, but is there a taste of diacetyl off it? Not an unpleasant beer but not crisp like you'd imagine a lager should be.
