I have a restaurant in the west with a good boutique vineyard wine list and am looking for a must have list of bottled Irish Craft Beer (and Cider) to stock - all recommendations appreciated. Currently have Hooker and the Eight Degrees range.
O'Hara's Leann Follain works extremely well with food. Also look at seasonals (limited edition) beers- Dungarvan have their Cromeragh Challenger 2013 out right now.
From my point of view, a full range of O'Hara's or Dungarvan bottles would cover a lot of the bases in terms of people's tastes and food pairings. Kinnegar, McGrath's possibly?
I'd second the White Gypsy suggestion for larger table sized bottles and with the dubbel and saison for something a bit different.
Pairing suggestions and tasting notes on the menu might be an idea.
