Dublin Beer Views

One that was stuck in draft for 18 months!! Oops The Irish craft beer (and cider...icky) festival was held last weekend at the RDS. Greatest observation for me was that there were 40 odd all Irish stands. Dwarfing anything of recent times attended by any johny foreigner blow ins  ☺ Meeting friends. Some live music. Yummy festival food. Generally an "up" atmosphere all aligned to great beer, friendly knowledgable brewers and generous portions. Perfect saturday. Yes that is a whiskey glass. The caskmates jameson is mega

LIDL on song with Belgian imports recently
