Unfortunately my short-term plans were scuppered by the death of Irish Rail's €18 Dublin-Belfast day return.

Anyway, enjoy.

Did it two weeks ago very nice <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Molly's Yard is a restaurant and you would want to book it

Did they have brewing equipment and did it look like it was working?

Here is where i visited

John Hewitt was great but did not have any local beer on cask they did have Titanic White Star which was nice and some local bottle beer

The Crown had three white water beers on tap, nut-brown, Belfast ale and a pale ale I can’t remember.

The kitchen had white water glen’s ale on tap.

Molly’s yard was great for food, which the wife really liked and had a nice selection of Hilden ales, Chocolate stout, headless dog and Belfast blond, keg not cask I think.


I also noticed that weather spoons are have a real ale festival on the 27th of march till the 17th of April with 50 ale on cask, interesting

Is that for Molly?

if so no, the Hilden brewery is 6 miles or so out side Belfast on the train

Yes, I meant College Green Brewery which was planned to operate on-site at Molly's Yard.

Does it look like they're going to keep brewing the College Green beers at Hilden for the foreseeable?
