So, who wants to help ... to rattle on in the cellar?

They have since they started, I think. It’s brewed about five minutes’ drive from here, and the first I heard about it was when my local got it in. The best way I can describe it is that it’s like how I remember Guinness being years ago - much more of a hoppy bite than the rather bland draught they do now.

Sounds like I’d like it … actually, that’s a bit like the Rising Sons (draught) stout. Stout like it used to be :slight_smile:

Maybe I can fit in a long weekend over there in the late summer. I’m always happy to do some travelling in the name of research: :grinning:

I’ll blend in with all my relatives in and around Cork. I’ll wear a hat.

They do brewery tours, I believe (which for some inexplicable reason I haven’t got around to)

That would be very impolite. I’m always polite.

A brewery tour. Hmmm… You must force yourself old chap.
Life should be a continual adventure.

Yes, all this is all very well, but what about Dublin?

Remind me in a pm about dates and things

There is a brewery with a pub on Dublin’s quays as well

The Bull and I were just talking in the car the other day and thinking we need to orgynise ourselves!

So the Royal fish and consort will be shown some of Dublin by a Bull and me

We can send Leap cards (a sort of an oyster card) pre loaded that work on buses trams and Dart I believe

The Bull and I both have free travel cards cause I need to travel to hospital appointments so we can lend our Leap cards and you just post em back to us

Works well and saves scrambling for change and stuff

On this subject: I have set up a temporary, “throw-away” email address that can be used for initial exchange of “real” email addresses - it will send to 3Wells’ and my “real” email and we’ll then have your real email to reply to. It’s dublin19@dawn-it.net. Won’t be posting again this evening, the Motorsport Event I am doing results for is getting lively now …

Have you worked out why the nice people of Cork and the nice people of South Wales always wear hats?

It’s cos we share the same amount of bleedin’ rainfall and need to keep our heads dry.

I like Cork, Twellers.

The south-west is probably my favourite over there. Though TBF I’ve not been to all of Ireland.

S’true. I’ll not deny it.

I just wish that before you sent all that water over here, you diluted it, 50-50 with Whiskey.

I tries but the gannets in the middle of the island breathe it out of the rain

I believe you. It’s shocking it is.

Never had any of this trouble before Sky TV.
