Hi Puadie, do you mean Beamishes or Rebel/Castle/Writer's Reds?

I am certainly going to the Spailpin Fanac, it will be nice to have some FW beer there.

Lugh, I tried a pint of Beamish at the Wishing Well in Blackrock. I think it is good enough, yes. In Brazil I used to be delighted with the standart Irish stouts - here it starts to get a bit ''boring'', of course.

It's my understanding that Bemish Red isn't made any more. I could be wrong. Unless you're thinking of Smitwicks. Ya, the Rebel Red is available in the Spáilpín Fanac. Also the Blarney Blonde and Friar Weisse is on tap in The Oval just down the road.

'Castle Red'??? Well, better than 'Red Bull',anyway... <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->[/quote:2onc95o6]

If you can [b:2onc95o6]get a pint bottle of Beamish [/b:2onc95o6]its not too bad when nothing else is available. I haven't seen one for a while though <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->[/quote:2onc95o6]
Heiniken stopped doing the Bottled Beamish when they bought the Brewery


I drank the last one in the Spailpin about two years ago I think

Had a Rebel (properly named) at The Pavillion before Paddy Keenan's concert (oh boy, PK kicked asses... wonderful piper!)

And a Blarney Blonde in a pub near the hostel I am in.

Nice to know that FW beers are popular here.

And that Beamish Folk Ferstival is great...hope Dublin have something similar one day <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> .
