Franciscan Well Cask & Winter Ale Festival

[Jacob]

Just got back from Cork. What an evening!
Only disappointed that by the time I got there they already run out of Trouble IPA and two new beers from Metalman.

Had a chance to try following:

FW Jameson Stout
FW Purgatory PA
FW Alpha Dawg
FW Rebel Red
O'Haras Leann Follain
Metalman PA
White Gypsy Emerald PA

all except WG were reeeeeaaaalllllyyyy good!
Huge difference between those on tap and on cask.

Also the pizza with goat cheese and chorizo from wood fired pizza oven was exceptional, and just for 10e!!!

Anyway ... here are few pictures that I took that night

Thanks for posting pictures of me stuffing my face
I have to admit of 20 beers on offer I tried 16 and unfortunately there were some complete duffers which I didn't finish and confirmed to me just how tricky it can be to serve good beer in casks, for me the FW Purgatory was the best of the evening.
Well done to FW for organising.

Can't wait for next year!

I might not have to and just wander to the easterfest...

Good to see all those I had a chance to chat to, it was too short to get chatting to everyone!

It's called Photo Sphere. It's available for rooted android devices and I'm pretty sure that you'll find something for iphone.

If you have rooted Jelly Bean 4.2 then you should be able.

[DEMPSEY]

Can I get the jelly beans in any shop or do I need to get special ones.

[JimmyM]

Dempsey hasnt had a rooted jelly bean since that bag of sweets he planted in the garden.

[DEMPSEY]

Tell me about it,the man said I could find wealth and riches if I planted them. What he did not tell me was that I had to climb a big stalk run by Ryanair.
