    Please tell me the old school boombox on top of the shelves will make an appearance in the videos at some point?

    I’ve tasted a lot of irish craft beers and can’t say I’ve really enjoyed any of them. Some were grand and I’ve ordered a second but most taste like socks. The Belgians do it right-try any of the Chimay’s, particularly the blue.

      i’ve been very impressed by o’hara’s lean foilleann stout. also the craft stuff they have in lidl from the crafty brewery is great, especially the stout.

        O’ Hara’s Pale Ale (Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow) and Franciscan Well Red Ale (Cork) are both really nice.

          Tried Franciscan red in kinsale last week and it’s probably my favourite irish beer so far but still only ok-gets a bit tangy.

          Thought O’Haras was muck.
          Leave us Irish to whiskey and let the Belgians or Germans look after the beer.

            Ding, I’ve noticed that any pints of O’ Hara’s I’ve had which tasted ‘tangy’, was because no one else in the pub was drinking it at the time, so now, if there’s no one else drinking it, I always ask the staff pour off a pint, to clear the stuff from the lines – although, they don’t like doing it, I’ve been on the receiving end of dirty looks and a couple of smart comments for making such a request.

            Sorry, I just re-read your comments, and I thought you were referring to O’ Hara’s, nevertheless, my point still stands regarding Franciscan Well.

          if you like amber ella, see of you can track down American Amber from wicklow wolf brewer. another beauty.

    I don’t think he’s trying to taste every Irish “craft” beer available, I think he’s just trying to taste every Irish beer available. Nice idea, but it’ll be actually quite a difficult taste when you consider the amount of seasonal specials that are now being released by some of the micro breweries. Unless of course he just means the bottled versions.
