The coffee stout was a fiver. As was the half pint of rubbish imp stout. Pint of pale ale was a fiver too, although I seriously doubt that is what we were given. It tasted heavily of vanilla and there was a butterscotch lager on tap.
A dicyatel infused lager ?? 😂
I lost faith in that place when he was charging £7 for a pint of east coast ipa that was brewed 10ft from where he was serving. Claimed that the price was high because of the amount of malt and hops needed. It was 6.5% ffs.
 
First taste of my Centennial Brown Ale. Very young, only 16 days in the bottle, but it's been clear in the bottle almost as soon as I'd bottled it, so thought I'd give it a try. Gorgeous dark amber colour, smells great, crystal clear. Was aiming for highish carbonation, and this looks about right, a decent head on it now, and will be better in another couple of weeks. I dialed the strength down a fair bit from the base recipe I used. I reckon I ended up around 4.4% ABV, pretty much where I aiming.

[edit, checking, it was clib's]

Anyway, delighted. Not bitter at all, but a lovely hop flavour, and should still improve a fair bit more.

I took two pix, but honestly, they both looked so terrible! :D

I think he cares more about the restaurant. It's been open for over five years (I think) and it is only now that you can go in for a pint without booking a table for a meal. What is the point of owning a brewpub if you don't allow people in for a pint! And why hasn't he been brewing loads of different beers? From what I gather, he has basically just stuck with the original 5 core beers. I could be wrong about that but I haven't heard or read anything different.

Where's this?

In fairness it wasn’t his choice. It was down to the anarchic brewing/serving laws in Northern Ireland set by the old boys in the church of no fun.
If you brewed you could not sell on the premises and could only sell drink if you served food as well. James was at the forefront of the movement to get the laws changed to allow breweries to sell on site

Me and some mates went for a few beers last night at the a Elusive Brewing taproom. Lots of really good beers - my mates really liked the Kumpel Kölsch in the background (had it before, it's very good) and the Morrisman Chocolate Stout is superb. The can promises chocolate and vanilla and it certainly delivered! :beer1:
