Last night I tried my best to convince the work crew to go to Against the Grain after our Xmas meal. It wasn't happening & I was already resigned to spending the night crying into my pint (metaphorically) while dreaming of what might have been in ATG

Having O'Hara's Pale Ale in the Swan last night was such an unexpected treat[/quote:2bbqq6a7]
I feel your pain. I was in that neck of the woods last week and I'll be there on Thursday night. My mates just don't get the whole craft beer scene. To be so close to ATG without going in was and will be torture. Love the pub.

The Porterhouse have now opened up in Cork on Sheare's St. Can one of the langers on board find the exact location and add it in?

There's also a place round the back of Stephen's Green shopping centre on Mercer Street that was advertising O'Hara's pints at €3. Can't remember the name of it but it's not in the directory. Will try and get down to it and check it out over the next few days.

That's the Mardyke.

Edit: Added now.

Couple of additions/edits to the list:
Was in the upstairs/no name bar in Hogans, Fade St. just before Christmas and they had bottles of Hophead.
Also, the Eastern Seaboard Bar/Restaurant in Drogheda now has Howling Gale on draught as well as the 8 degrees bottles. (Also Sam Adams on draught and a nice range of worldwide bottles)

Edits made. Thanks!
