That’s a decent beer. Most of the locals I seen when on holiday were drinking it. Better than San Miguel
Look out for the reserva 1925 (green bottle) and the reserva roja (red bottle)
Even better.

Evening all. I’m off for 10 days so there’s no school nights for a while. The first beer of many is an old favourite.
My wife will be joining me for this round.
I'll take a look thank you!
My 2nd, is this 1906, its a doppelbock, I didn't realise it was 8% when I got it, oh well...

Time for a different type of Red, ‘Crazy Grapes’. This is from a local wine seller and it’s rather excellent. Laithwaites loss is Nicholson’s gain, and the mouth breathing duckwits from Larne can stick the ducking sea border where it belongs when the time comes. C-units.
Rant over, soft smooth dark fruit predominate. No tannins, and a crazy long length of flavour. It’s excellent.

Another beer from my Wilderness box and another winner. This is another fantastic beer .7% but really dry and crisp for it. Bright pineapple type aroma..flavours are of maybe a Belgian yeast and then citrus and pineapple..it's great..could easily drink more of this and then probably pass out

Bosch

It's great with a Guiness head

Festbier, brewed in April.
Lager Malt, Munich, Melanodin & Carapils.
Magnum & Saaz hops.
Safale 34/70 yeast
Cleared up nicely
Their bottles definitely seem to outperform the cans. That glass had two Maggies Leaps in it, then a snifter of my NZ Pale keg (which is still flat) before the Smithwicks was poured, and it still looked great.
I assume they all come out of the Brite Tank, but I still have a prediction for the bottles. Confirmation bias is a total barsteward!

Used to be a huge Smithwicks fan, but find it a bit bland lately (might just try the bottles).
Francisian Wells has a great Irish Red, worth checking out.
Kidare Brewing Company also have a great Irish Red.
Here's a link, if you are interested;

One of Bernard's absolute gems.
I called in with another local brewing legend today, our good friends at Hilden Brewery, to see how prep is going for this weekend's Beer and Music Festival.
The court yard is looking good!

Love SS (and Bilbao and the whole area). Very jealous. You will eat like a King!
Trying too, my ordinarily adventurous children have suddenly decided only chips or pasta will do!
