To my palate, there core range are all excellent beers, I'm especially fond of their golden ale. They had a Festbier on in the tap room a couple of weeks back that was very good too, and brewed on the premises ...

Don't get me started on that other crowd of chancers. Theakston should be hanging their heads in shame ...

Remember: if it *doesn't* say it's brewed in Ireland, it's not brewed in Ireland. And if it *does* say it's brewed in Enniscorthy, it's brewed in Yorkshire.

Pleasant beer in a pleasant size serving for a weeknight ...

I believe you are correct. I'll have to look closer the next time I'm at the beer store. I want to say Connecticut. The only pictures I have are of the front of the cans, and there is a subtle change. From "brewed in Ireland," to "batch brewed Irish style ale"

Btw, pubs try that sort of dodgyness here too and it's all fake. Any pub here that claims a date earlier that the 19th c. is probably telling porkies ...

The business closed in the very early 1900s, I know its history. You can't start a brand new brewing business a century later, use a name with a very loose family connection, and plaster on a load of dubious history and a fake 1702 date. There wasn't a Sullivan's brewery until the early 19th c. ...

Excellent! ...

While I'm on a Kilkenny roll, I know one of the speakers here so he better get the history right! ...

Yes, it's a huge market for them and their target from the start ...

... and they only started brewing in Kilkenny last year. Plus, I was *told* the beers for America are brewed over there ...

'Sullivan's Brewing Company, Ireland's oldest commercial brewery...' Not even close! I'm fond of Sullivan’s taproom as a place, of their beers, and some of the people, but it's rubbish like this that really annoys me about them. I was at their pre-launch in 2016! I'm old, but not that old ...

As someone who find the 'plain' Duvel a bit meh, this interests me greatly based on the description. This is what beer reviewing is all about. It's not about stars and ratings, it's about effectively articulating what you taste ...

I've added a couple more of these Guinness blends to this blogpost, and at ten I'm halfway through the list now ... (The link was problematic last time.)

Thanks, I've reposted it! ...

It may be how I formatted the link. This might work better? ...

And here's us with Guinnesseyland and The Smythwicks Experience :-( ...

The object is clearly and obviously a tree. I think those 'researchers' just want to cook up the world's biggest crab claws. I hope the brought a ton of garlic butter, and a sledgehammer ...
