@dublin_damo Mick Doyles is a great shout . They now also have a music venue called Abbey lane & a great pint of O Haras pale ale

OK, decided to make this non-Dublin, and it's not a list of the ten 'best pubs' in Ireland, I'm not the Irish Times, just personal favourites I've been to. 10. Mick Doyle's, Graiguenamanagh.

@CorkBeer @PaulOBrien10 @WesternHerd @BertSmedley @Bilcro @BrianVolkert @DKenni @kittyhen @j_k357 @DavidMarra Can't tag you & a number of others. Mostly on the hot whiskeys & export stouts

I'm all about the fresh beer tonight. Ordered online. Love the personal touch from Maeve. You can't beat good beer and good service. @WesternHerd Flora and Fauna 10 Hop Double IPA. (Can't tag Bridger for some reason🤷🏼‍♂️). Cheers all.

@craftybeertweet @OHarasBeers Very popular in the lord Bagnal

Having a very nice pint of @OHarasBeers IPA in the #lordbagenal unfortunately the keg is now gone 🚨red alert🚨

@adrianweckler Getting 3/4 a day They call and when you answer they hang up quickly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Are you seeing a surge in +44 scam calls lately? If so, what ‘services’ are they pretending to be?

@morningad Nice to see O Haras stout get a mention

With International Stout Day just gone, few categories are fizzing with as much momentum as stout. Once a winter comfort, it’s now a year-round staple, and, for the first time, it’s not just the “old boys” drinking it. Read here: morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025/1… #StoutDay

@dublin_damo Nice pint of O Haras pale ale in there also

There's only one place to eat in Leighlinbridge, the Lord Bagnel Inn, but no complaints whatsoever about my steak.

@beerfoodtravel 😂

@JohnBut007 Maybe they have a lump of wall or timber in a frame that they found in the attic ... ;-)

Has anyone any thoughts on what and where the real oldest pub in Ireland (don't!) might be? It would need to be 17th century or older, have roughly the same footprint and walls, and have always been an alehouse/tavern/drink-focused spot. So not an inn - or a different trade ...

@beerfoodtravel Inside and out this building looks modern It’s a far stretch .

@JohnBut007 Sheesh. I'd say it has a bit of age, but that's pushing it. No evidence I guess? I know it claims to have been the King's Arms, which was an inn in the 18th c. In Wexford ...

@beerfoodtravel Had it last night , I thought it was a nice beer that you could easily have a session on if it was on draught

We seem to have been stuck on Strata for an age, so nice to see something new. It's a hop that I'm surprised wasn't used already in the series ...

@dublin_damo 1906 is a beautiful beer that when poured has a beautiful creamy head . Completely agree on your Diageo / Heineken comment .

Galicia has the best beer in Spain, puts the Diageo/Heineken muck back home to shame.

@AllendeSligo @dublin_damo At The Big Grill this weekend . Not stocked in many Pubs because Heineken and Diageo block it going into pubs . Beautiful beer

@dublin_damo Think Estrella did a deal with O'Hara's, never seen it in the pub, but always stocked in the supermarket....

@beerfoodtravel 😂 Thanks for the tip

@JohnBut007 You may shake the bejesus out of them! ...

As they say in these parts, this is quare stupid. You shake it to get the nitro going, but even at that and a hard pour it came out flat. I had to use the old trick with the syringe plunger which eventually formed a head. It's a nice treacly beer that deserves a better format ...

@beerfoodtravel 😂

@JohnBut007 Good stuff, handy for the festivals. Once you remember it ...

@beerfoodtravel look what I found

Interesting combination

@luck_ofthesea @PintsO_Guinness A stout with flavour . Nice espresso ending on every sip

@PintsO_Guinness I've got a local rep trying to get me to put O'Hara's on me home tap. Thoughts on O'Hara's? Tried it in a can. Didn't seem anything too special.

@beerfoodtravel @dublinbeerfest I’m gonna have to get one of these

@JohnBut007 @dublinbeerfest

Ticket bought for @dublinbeerfest, so see you there! ... Who are we kidding, I'll see none of you ... dublinbeerfest.ie

@beerfoodtravel @dublinbeerfest I’ve never seen that one . Put up a picture of it

@JohnBut007 @dublinbeerfest The Saturday. I have a nice Duiske crystal O'Hara's branded one for a bit of bling! ...
