I couldnt believe when he told me he got these!!! I must say it is expensive...but to have the choice two great beers is fantastic, and I would have no bones about buying these now and again. The double IPA was a hop monster, quite drinkable for such a high alc content...Things are looking good lads <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

First was Snake Dog IPA (6.4%) from the Flying Dog Brewery in Denver and the other Hercules Double IPA (9.1%) from Great Divide Brewing. also of Denver. Not cheap at €3.25 for the Snake Dog and a whopping €5.75 for the DIPA! However, having splashed out on a couple of bottles of each, and downed with Graeme while bottling his Christmas Porter, was definitely money well spent. Not too sure of the stockholding in the shop, but if you like this sort of stuff get youreslves over to Stoneybatter. Now! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->[/quote:2mszlbb9]


Sounds brilliant! I will pop over there and get me some of those <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I popped into McHughes this afternoon and picked up the following

Shepherd Neame - Christmas Ale 07
Schneider Aventinus
Wychwood Bah Humbug
Wychwood Goliath
St Peters Old style porter
St Peters Cream Stout
Wychwood Hobgoblin (actually my Mother bought this for me today in a presentation tin and comes with a t-shirt)

Sounds good Garthicus! Was not at all impressed with Bah Humbug...let me know what u think of it.

Good to know it has born fruit. Thanks for the heads-up, BeerMad.

Geoff in the B&C was telling me he got some of those (for home consumption). He said the Hercules was incredible! I gotta get me some <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
