Hello everyone as you can tell from the heading im new to the ICB. Im from cork and just love to talk beer. Im no expert and dont have quite the beer vocab but I know what I like and thats a nice pint of heineken <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=" :lol:

" title="Laughing" /> Just kidding, maybe 10 years ago when there wasnt much else on offer but then a friend of mine showed me the error of my ways when he brought me to a bar called Isaac bells. What an eye opener that was (or should i say taste bud opener). One of the first beers i tried there was Kriek boon on draught. My mouth is watering still <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="

" title="Smile" /> He then insisted that i try this light little belgian number called ABT <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="

" title="Very Happy" /> I nearly fell off the stool looking at this Alien concoction but being from cork and not one to shy away from a challenge I took a fine healthy draw from the pint. halfway down I knew my mainstream lager days were over. Today I frequent the abbots ale house which thankfully has reopened the upstairs bar. well done barry wouldnt doubt ya boy <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="

" title="Smile" /> Anyone not heard of this place should definately call in. 1 lager on draught has to be done and 4 guest beers including Kwak,plus Almost 300 bottled beers to choose from. Heaven. Was talking to barry today,The bar reopens tomorrow and they have a new beer, Utenos porter from Lithuania, along the lines of Imperial stout he also said that he hopes to have Another 40 - 60 beers on the shelves within the next 6 -8 weeks. Thanks Barry. So thats a bit about me hope you all dont fall asleep but like i said im from cork and talk a lot <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="

" title="Smile" /> Feel free to reply and hears to a tasty new year
