Some crackin ales there, many are worthy of a mention. As well as the ones mentioned by others, I thought the Messrs Brown Ale was really nice, and The Phuca was tasty (had a lot more cloves than my own spiced ale though!!)

+1 on the Raven and the Purgatory and MM Brown Ale, but I have to say there wasn't a bad beer there. Although I expected more from the Jul Ol having heard so much about it.

I popped in yesterday before I left Cork (just to refresh my memory mind) and they had found a few homebrews hidden beside the outside bar. The owner can drop in to collect them if they hurry. I suspect the lad behind the bar is mad to open one.

Glad they're in safe hands -- however temporary <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Haha, I reckoned I knew who they belonged to! It was a very enjoyable day; well done to all concerned. I enjoyed every beer that I had. Maybe it was just as well they had run out of Coffee and oatmeal stout and also Barrelhead!

I picked up those beers yesterday, and Andy did look fairly dissapointed.

I enjoyed all the beers, but especially the Carlow Pale Ale and the Raven Stout.

Cheers,
Billy.

the raven stout was lovely, had a good night there on saturday, just missed out on the purgy cask but had some of the rebel red which was brilliant.

all in all a good festival i think, hopefully one to watch for next year too.
