The Mac and Treatystones Beer Thread

Most of the Little Creatures stuff is nice albeit a bit overhyped.

enjoying a couple of o’hara’s leann folláin here, nice tack, good full bodied bottled stout, i am very impressed
this may well become carlows first ever success at anything

[quote=“Thrawneen, post: 576564”]I had an ale called Hurricane Jack on Saturday, it was fucking sensational.
Hurricane Jack opens with a quiet hiss, and pours golden blonde. There’s medium carbonation and a medium-dense white head that doesn’t want to fade. The aromas are grainy/biscuity with an edge of fruit, nothing overpowering. There’s a very light mouthfeel, but I can’t quite put my finger on the flavour. It’s very light, theres an incredibly delicate sweetness to it, and the aftertaste is bitter, but only a little. Almost a noble level of bitterness, I think.[/quote]that sounds good man where’d you pick it up brewed a few beers myself earlier this year I must start a new batch for Christmas , the smithwicks pale ale is fairly tasty too man if you haven’t tried it or copper coast from dungarvan co Waterford

Thrawneen has been clamped :lol:

Christ, you hardly think I’d describe an ale like that, do ye? “It’s lovely” is about as wordy as I get with a nice brew. Hurricane Jack is very very lovely though and I buy it in an offie in Harold’s Cross, the one that’s attached to a pub…not sure of the name.

That’s the one. Cracking off-licence. Though it’s an expensive enough business drinking such fancy things.

Who or what are you?

Hard question, I’ve been mulling over it all morning.

All I can say is that I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.

That Super Bock they have out in the Algarve is a fine lager.
Sagres on the other hand is piss.
Agree with an earlier poster about the non alcoholic Erdinger. Not bad tack at all.

sipping a few Duvel belgians tonight, nice beer, kicks like a mule though

First time I blacked out on drink was on Duvel. Was drinking it like bottles of Guinness and then the legs went.

yes, its a tricky balance, im sitting on the couch so i think i might go for it

Have a blanket over you just in case.

3 glasses of Chateauneuf-du-Pape (not beer but on sale for a tenner in Tesco), a can of Old Speckled Hen, a can of Fullers London Pride and finished off with a half litre of Paulaner. Don’t think I could ask for much else drinkwise from an evening other than a glass of midleton to top everything off. How ales are always so unavailable in pubs in this country is beyond me.

That’s a solid night, Mac.

Is the misses not worried tho that this excessive drinking may be make you a little sterile? I mean, you are no spring chicken anymore. Or are you still in the honeymoon period?

Don’t be worrying about me mate. It’ll all work out Millhouse.

I hope it does, pal. Best of luck to both of you- Remember, pressure is for tyres.
