Where can you get this and how much?

I got some in O'Brien's. About €4 a bottle iirc. Very tasty it is too.

The one he asked about two posts up, Boyne Brewhouse Imperial Stout.

Passenger

Wood Key Brewing The Hunted Deer IPA

Medium bodied, good carbonation, very dry hop flavours. Overall a very bitter IPA with a sharp aftertaste. 6.2% ABV.

Zaph

I know it makes no difference to the taste or quality of what's inside the cans or bottles, but I have to say I really hate Wood Key's branding and packaging designs. Although obviously they're not anywhere near as bad as McGargles.

Five Lamps - Meadow of the bull.
It's a malty pale ale. Not bad.

Few Dr Raptor by Uiltje Brewery chilling in the fridge for later, at 9.2% they will have to be sipped slowly!!!

I'm the same with Jack Cody's. I know the beers themselves are grand but the labels do nothing for me. But I do kinda like the Wood Key ones. :P

I refuse to buy Kelly's mountain brew because of their disgusting packing.


Had he Solemn Black last night, delicious.

Reputable Rog

Rosey Nosey in the Linen Weaver Cork, a really lovely beer.

Goodbye Blue Monday is becoming too much of a regular buy for me for its price. I've a Solemn Black to crack later also - dear trip to O'Briens even on the 6-for-5!

Followed by a few Anderson Valley Hop Ottin IPA, quality all around.

Well that's a bit much sediment. Looks like I'll be giving that Blackberry IPA a miss

Jaysis that’s awful looking. It’s the type of “craft beer” that my mates that aren’t into craft beer think I drink!

neris

that looks like something you might regurgitate after a heap of pints and a kebab

It looks like the contents of one of those infusion thingies you see at the taps at beer festivals (I know I've seen the proper name loads of times before...) rather than an actual beer. Someone in charge of QC will be signing on soon I think

I had two bottles of that stuff, it's great when you do that thing where you keep the bottle upright and pour it to keep the sediment at the bottom.

I like to moob it moob it.

Thick rich double ipa from northern monk. Citrusy and smooth, delightful to drink. Expensive at nearly six quid, but needed something nice for the Manchester Derby

8 Degrees Sour IPA. Is a rather lot sourer than I was expecting, somehow.
