    Discovered Larkins Double and Triple IPA's yesterday evening when I went to get the growler filled for the weekend. Seriously good stuff.

    Beerhawk gave me an extra 200 for reasons that are unclear to me but I made the most of it and got in my first proper haul for a few weeks. Loads of strong dark stuff for this evening.

    This is my new favourite thing:




    It's a fruity, hazy NEIPA. I'm not one for the stouts and porters, other than maybe in tiny amounts almost as a dessert or something (those ones with like chocolate and vanilla in) or for sticking into chilis and stews. As for IPA's, i go back and fourth between fruity and a bit bitter, but always lean more towards fruity at the end of the day

    I like the New England type ones. Picked up a few White Hag NE IPA's yesterday as well.

    Amundsen are really good.

    I've had a few more of the Kernel's IPA variants recently having not seen any for ages. They're always good.

    How would this one compare to that one above? It's the only Amundsen NE IPA I could find.

    It will be extremely similar. Amundsen make 90% New England IPA's and they all taste fairly similar.

    Having Finback involved is a big positive though - one of the best breweries for IPA's in the world. Although it's been brewed in Norway so it will have limited input from the Finback guys.

    Was gonna have a treat lunch today but bought pricey beers so had to rein that in.

    Still, a Fierce / Fourpure imperial blackcurrant porter, the mocha variant of Fierce's Very Big Moose and a honey wheat wine from Top Out.

    I have prepared for a beer festival today by drinking all the alcohol last night.

    Excellent work. Soz, liver.

    I'm only an occasional cider drinker, and after Thursday night I intend to keep it that way. Had 6 of the little 330ml cans of kopperberg or something similar, and had the absolute worst acid reflux I've had in my life. Nearly threw up but managed to find some rennies.

    I'll revert to my usual schedule of lager May-September, and ale the rest of the time.

    I wasn't going to bother this weekend but it's getting tempting. The local off licence has a brewery tasting this evening too so there's bound to be freebies.

    Merchant City Brewing, who've seriously upped the game after being pretty meh with their first few beers, have a new coffee imperial and goodness me it's lovely.

    The wasps nearly made the fest unbearable and frankly I'm too old for that much standing up now but it was good.

    I'm balls deep in some Racals Big Hop Red and Larkins Outlier. I'm off to the pub now after the ball but at least they've McGargles on tap there.

    I haven't had a Guinness since St. Patricks. I used to have one in every new pub to see if it passed the test. Now I don't even bother.

    My sister got me onto the Brewdog shares thing for my birthday which means I'll get a bit of a discount in their bars and online shop.

    Only slightly annoying thing is that while the Brewdog that's really close to my work used to regularly have a really good selection on they've somewhat gone off the boil on that front and now there tends to be a better selection in Shilling, which is also really close to work.

    Another excellent Imperial dark thing from Pohjala there. They're up there with Fierce as one of my favourite brewers just now.

    My brother in law and I's homebrew should be good to go by mid-week. It's Tiny Rebel's Cwtch home brew kit so I'd like to get hold of a can of the real thing to compare.

    Drygate are doing an Imperial stout that costs a tenner but all the proceeds go toward reforestation.

    I wouldn't normally spend that much on a bottle but a good cause and I imagine it'll be a good beer. An Islay-barrel aged imperial.

    Never had anything by them. When I got sent to Newark last year myself I had the issue of Newark being fucking ace for ale pubs and the knowledge that I might never go there again so wanting to make the most of it....

    If Brewdog weren't bad enough, my mate made a joke about them without tagging them and their social media team are taking it as a compliment.

    They do gluten free beer (stout, IPA, pale ale, kolsch) but it stands up to anything in its own right. There's only one pub in Dublin I've ever seen with their stuff on draught but the stout is gorgeous.

    Brewdog sell t-shirts with their favourite bad reviews of them on. This is very on-brand for them. They're twats but my sister got me a share for my birthday so I'll definitely be making the most of the discount.

    I'll need to keep an eye on. If they're gluten free then they might get enough of a market to start exporting.

    Though I'm actually considering a trip to Dublin in the nearish future as I have holidays to use and have never been so if I do that I can just find that pub instead.

    The Cobblestone in Smithfield have 3 of them on draught, stout, bán, and rua (red ale). I'd regularly hit it even though it's fairly touristy.

    If you're visiting let me know and I'll tell you the ones to get a decent one outside the norm. Rascals in Inchicore and The Four Provinces in Kimmage do savage stuff if you didn't mind a short tram or bus to the beer.

    Smokey beers are one of the few styles I'm not really into as yet but given how I've been with everything else I imagine that'll come over time.

    I've got a couple of home brews to tide me over until I get into the good shit for tonight.

    I've got the Guinness export variant for Nigeria which is meant to be really nice, a 6 Degrees North imperial stout and yet another imperial by Fierce.

    I’m onto the Pale now, very nice too.

    Do you do much home brew @Ian? I’m looking for a kit but haven’t a clue what I need.

    I think this is the third me and my brother-in-law have done. This one was a kit for Cwtch by Tiny Rebel and is slightly more involved than the previous kits as it involves dry-hopping partway through. Something's not quite right with it as it's ludicrously cloudy when it shouldn't be, I expect that's something to do with the temperature at some point during the process but I dunno for sure.

    I'd just look out for a kit for your first go, try and find a starter pack that gives you a good-sized fermenter and all the little bits and pieces.

    me and my brother in law are basically trying to do one extra step for ourselves each time we do a new brew.
