Sadly, I don't think there was enough demand for the TSB to stay fresh in the cask. I've had a taste of it in the Nassau St. bar a couple of times and it was pretty rank. I know others who say the same thing.

Maybe the PH would have been better off introducing it in the keg until it built up a following?

The Wrasslers is a fantastic beer and everything I want in a stout - the best in Ireland IMO. Although I do prefer it in the bottle; I don't think the nitro head does it any favours.

Anyone know if the HopHead is dry-hopped in the cask? It certainly tastes like it is.

QuoteI think that one beer is priced at €4 every night, i.e. they rotate which one. *I think*

Yeah, was in there in November and each night one of their was €4 every night, but it didn't seem to be running during December.

Hop head can be amazing om cask...especially when it is free.

very little demand here for tsb. I loved it, when it was in good nick. they still make it but only for the UK market. Shame.
