Happy Friday everyone. Look what I found in my local offie.

Sampled this for the first time in cork earlier this year. Tiny little bar with Guinness, Beamish and Murphy’s all on on draught and most people in there drinking beamish..

Oh to be back..

Took a while to chill after the journey up to the cottage in Abersoch. The smaller bottles were quicker to chill

Beamish is hard to get on draught

Aiding my first AG brew this eve..
Ignore the label. It is in fact an APA I bottled a couple of weeks back. Needs more time but could t resist one this eve…

First sample tonight of latest hoppy Belgian pale..
I'm liking this hop combo, it's bitter but smooth thanks to Perle. Dry hops were Styrian Wolf, Kazbek and Spalter..this is one of my favourite combo's. Grapefruit, bitter orange with some spice

 

[Leon103]

Quickly followed by another in the games room

Not round @phildo79 ’s place. Now I’ve got a nitro tap I’ll have to bag his recipe.

What yeast did you use Dave. Thinking of brewing a Belgian next. I don't have any yeast in stock

 

[Leon103]

I have been wanting to try this all October, now we are in North Wales I thought now is the time.

It's lovely. Really smooth and hides the alcohol well

 

[Druss]

Half a dozen of these...

But that's a Google image, from days of yore, when it was actually good beer...

They dropped the ABV a while ago, now the bottle shape has changed, and it's a gassy, insipid, lot of nothing.

Hugely underwhelmed, I'm only choking it down because I need the bottles for my own beer. How far Banks bitter has fallen

 

[Rodcx500z]

Last one tonight of the amber pale ale, sometimes **** ups turn out well hops were target and citra

 

[Donegal john]

Agree completely. It’s got more chocolately roast flavour, a dryer finish and better mouthfeel. Must hunt down a decent pint on draught on my next Dublin overnighter.

You have to go to cork for that do you not ?
I don’t think the dubs take too kindly to it

This one was 50/50 fermentis T-58 and CML 5.

Not a bother, mate. It's a sound recipe that I have made at least 4 times and been a winner every time.

@samale it is on draught in the Anchor Bar for £4. Or at least it was a couple of months ago.

It's tricky enough to find in Dublin. Not that I've been down for 5 or 6 years. I do recall a bar very close to Connelly train station that had it. There used to be a website for Cork people visiting Dublin, that listed all the bars that sold Beamish. Might still exist.

Or you could just come into Belfast. There are 3 bars that I know of that sell it. The Sunflower, The Duke of York and The Morning Star.

And I really should make another batch. Been too long since I had it on tap.

Heading to Derry tomorrow, for a few days. Hopefully get into the Anchor for a few.

Sounds nice dave, recipe on your brew thread by chance? I'll look later when I've got chance myself.

 

[YeastFace]

The Spoons on Camden Street has it on all the time, I believe.

A lot of the Heineken supplied places that used to sell it have switched over to that Island's Edge muck I think.

If you have Untappd, have a look where people are checking it in when you're next there, then at least it should be accurate. Yesterday there were check-ins at Delaney's Smithfield, O'Donoghue's Suffolk Street, and The Ginger Man.

Do you want me to drop beer to you. Saves me posting

Looks like the usual suspects round Temple Bar have it on their drink menus. I’ll go on the hunt.

If you get a chance call into Otterbank taproom in muff he has some lovely stouts and sours on the go and a few of them on cask.
