just sat down and cracked open a 750ml meantime ipa 7.5% and it got me thinking what everyone else is drinking. i seen this in a supervalu in westport last night and since they dont have it where im from i said id get one to try knowing very little. well i must say im very impressed and i like the caramel maltiness going on and the lovely hoppy goodness. its well balanced and id definitely recommend it to anyone
so what are you guys drinking? anything i should be putting on the shopping list. id love to hear some beer porn right now :D

Caledonian 80/- is underwhelming. Fairly watery.
Agree 100% may as well have stayed on the Tae.... at a push a smithwicks shandy.
I think those Deuchars beers are quite tasty as long as you are up for something meek and mild.

I quite like their Deuchars IPA. It's really good on cask, draught and bottles.
I liked it from a bottle when I tried it recently - nice and lemony - although, due to American-oriented preconceptions of what an IPA should be, I didn't really get a lot from it when I tried it on cask in London a few years back.
Was in the Nørrebro Bryghus for the first time last weekend and had some of their beers.
Had Evil Twin's Wet Dream and Hornbeer's Caribbean Rumstout. Both fantastic.
