TOPIC:

The Porterhouse, Árainn Mhór, Galway Hooker and Stella?

No Hilden, Franciscan Well, Messrs, Whitewater, etc.

I can't say I'm impressed.

Good point. Moved.

And if I get bored sitting there drinking €4 pints of Hooker, I'll be heading to Bierhaus or similar. I find it hard to begrudge a day out in Galway.

I hope you'll give Arainn Mhor BAN & RUA a shot as well...it's not that bad as you will well know...

From what I hear the public attendance will be excellent so I hope the other breweries support it accordingly.

Though I'd be interested if Rua has changed strength again: it's 4.2% on your site[/url:26zyxlx1], the bottle I had was 6%, according to the label, and the festival website is giving 5.2% in the Rua blurb.

Consistency in a world gone mad, wha'?

That's just it. I have tried all of those beers before. As a matter of fact, I could pop out for any one of the beers on that list, with my lunch today.

I would be more inclined to make the trip to Galway if there was a cask of something interesting waiting for me.
