The fact the paper states "noted for its free wifi and the fact that it does not play music." means yer man has never set foot in one!

What about the wide selection a craft beers and in particular cask??

Will  it serve cask? Might they leave it out because of "cultural differences"?

Fantastic news for us SD Brewers. Tonic wasn't a bad spot for craft already - they did the full range of O'Haras in bottles. And even though it's not "craft" they did Paulaner on tap too.

Will miss the food menu there though.

Happy days, more choice is always good. And I'd love to see more English bitters on cask here.

I wouldn't think there'll be a lot if beer from ROI, prolly more likely NI beers and ciders (Davy's ciders are in all the NI spoons), but it's great we'll have the choice. I look forward to a pint and a curry for £5.95 too!

hope they have a currency enchange on site....

I've not seen any Hilden stuff in spoons recently though. Must actually ask if they've stopped stocking it.

Absolutely fantastic news, 4 engines is the standard in JWD pubs and a very high standard they are too!

Article says Tim Martin is English when he's actually from Derry too.

That was last year. This year was an  Adnams and Dungarvan collaboration I think.

Really looking forward to this and hope they do well. It will be hard for me to patronise them regularly but I'll make a couple of trips on principle. And the other nice thing is that there's finally a place where I can use my CAMRA vouchers!
