Simon V. is drinking a Dark Dunter by Broughton Ales at Captains Bar
Seriously malty, almost liquoricey. Lovely gesture, but the sweetness might put me off a second.

Simon V. is drinking a Porter by Black Isle Brewery at Jeremiah's Taproom
Lovely and smooth as always. Lacks the richness of their scotch ales, but creamy and flavoursome.

Simon V. is drinking a Bay Ale by Galway Bay Brewery at The Black Sheep
Nice. Not as thick and creamy and smooth as I like my Irish reds, but flavoursome nonetheless. In their own fab Dublin brewpub too!

Simon V. is drinking a Rebel Red by Franciscan Well Brewery at Mulligan's
Lovely. Perhaps my last trip to Ireland for a while, so a poignant tryst with my favourite Irish beer in a lgegendaey Dublin pub.

Simon V. is drinking a Lia Fail by Inveralmond Brewery at Drum & Monkey
I might be wrong, but I think this is the first time I’ve ever had this on draft. Oddly, not as nice as in bottles - thinner and lighter.

Simon V. is drinking a Hangman’s Rock by Colonsay Brewery
Very nice Scotch ale. Shares the same maltiness of their 80/-, which is one of my favourites ever, with I think a touch more coffee.

Simon V. is drinking a Red Ale by J.W. Sweetman at J.W. Sweetman Craft Brewery
A truly interesting red. Thin texture so quite drinkable, but gentle coffee notes, so flavoursome with it.

Simon V. is drinking an Archway Lager by Franciscan Well Brewery at The Hop House (Kim Chi)
Really nice, easygoing lager from the folk who make my favourite Irish beer, Rebel Red. Soft texture with just the slightest touch of lemon.
