oh well thats ok then, the DT's are already gone, oh well looks loike its back to the other great beers in the bierhaus

Pilsner Urquell has finally arrived at the Bierhaus! After much effort Dave has finally secured a consignment of same. Had two pints on Friday night and it tasted really good. I think if it sells very well it might becoem a permanent fixture. Was certainly in good demand on Friday night anyway! Cheers Dave! I also introduced a Canadian tourist to Galwsy Hooker so doing my bit for Irish craft beer!!!!

I had a pint of pilsner urquell & some other cheap beer starting with a k in the Czech inn last night & I thought it tasted poor like my home-brew when it gets infected. I also tasted the Gambrinus in the bierhaus3 weeks ago and I got that same gone off flavour. Now I've tasted beers in the Czech republic & they were fantastic and the bottled versions here, so I can only assume there Irish suppliers are getting their hands on the old manky stock. Budvar which does a roaring trade in Ireland tastes as good on draught here as it does in the Czech republic.

I find Pilsner Urquell in the 66cl bottles far tastier than the 50cl bottles. Is there a difference other than size? I've only seen the 66cl bottles in Fibber Magees on Parnell St where I often took advantage of their €3 a drink nights <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Must say I thought the Pilsner Urquell I had in the Bierhaus tasted very good. I think previous threads here mentioned the quality of beers in the Czech Inn might not be the best - that it is more of a late night / loud music good fun pub. I have not been there yet but base that opionon just on what I see here. I do hope to get there some time though.

Carlow's Curim wheatbeer is a guest beer at the bierhaus at the moment. I think it is o.k. but not fantastic by any means. I imagine it is not available in many locations but fair dues to Dave in supporting Irish craft brewers with guest beers from time to time.
