Hartstown House Blanchardstown has the O'Haras and Dungarvan ranges in bottles.

Just wondering if I was particularly unlucky but last week in Anseo both the Helvick Gold and O'Hara's Stout weren't great. The Helvick Gold was still very drinkeable for me but was on the turn (my two mates didn't finish theirs) whereas the O'Hara's had to be brought back to the bar, fair play to the bar-man no question about a replacement. But it was my first time in there in ages and I just wonder - was it me? or do they normally keep their beers well?

The Galway Hooker was in good nick.

O'Hara's stout has always been very good when I've had it in Anseo, but I guess you've always got the chance of getting a soapy glass or whatever that one occassion.

Helvic Gold is something I've had on cask quite a bit and would be pretty familliar with it versus their bottled offerings. I had a pint of Copper Coast in Against the Grain a few weeks ago, also on cask, and I was kind of baffled: It looked and tasted like Helvic Gold. I thought either the wrong keg was hooked up or else Copper Coast on keg is radically different in colouration and body on keg versus from the bottle. The bartender seemed a bit puzzled by it as well, and a short time later they were telling people the keg was off. Anyone know the score on what might have been going on? It was super-cloudy, even moreso than I would normally expect from Dungarvan in terms of sediment.

Best to wait for noby to answer that.

Haven't heard anything from them, so I'm guessing it was just the end of the cask.
