Billy was snapping in the brewery anyway -- I'd say he has enough to build an exact replica.
Good to put faces to the names, and a good night was had by all I think. Have a severe dose of the Van Halens today.
We wandered up to the Abbot Ale House when the Well got a bit crowded. It's now my new favourite pub, and Cork is my new favourite place <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

One beer that Andrew had tasted like blue cheese. What one was that?[/quote:9o6joyj2]
Actually, I think I prefered the Howling Gale over the Emerald...
The blue cheese beer was WG's Red Oak (described as a red ale in the programme but as a stout on the pump clip). It had an after-note that reminded me of Laphroaig single malt.

Now I'm really confused!
Should be easy to tell difference between a Red ale and a stout!
Laphroaig certainly does not taste of blue cheese ( blue cheese = lactic acid + penecilium type moulds and flavours )
Please explain?

Proper Lennoxs (on Barrack Street) or fake Lennoxs (the rest?)
I always get stage fright in there when they shout at you for your order!!!
Popped in for a quick two Friday, Dark Arts and the Dungaravan Coffee and Oatmeal. Both lovely, but I just loved the Dark Arts!

Emelald was my favorite,and after tube and I left the Abbot ale house,we found stragglers staring at an electric guitar,claiming it was belong to Rory Gallagher,so it was chips all round at Lennox's chip shop to sober up.
