Nipped into the Stillorgan Orchard last night after going to see Promethius* only to find O'Hara's IPA and Stout, and Galway Hooker on draught. I'll be back again soon...
* The film was okay; it didn't live up to the hype.

Most of the stuff on tap in Ireland (most macro), is brewed in Ireland? <!-- s:!: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_exclaim.gif" alt="" title="Exclamation" /><!-- s:!: -->
Not sure about your definition of local!
Good to hear though, hopefully more local pubs will start selling craft beer. A higher frequency down the country would be great.

Roscommon. I do understand what you mean though; local as in something you have a strong connection to – in the sense of your local pub may not be the one that is closest to you, but one that is close and you frequent most often.
