Kipling is fantastic.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout is great too, make sure not to have it too chilled and it goes great with desserts too.

Kipling is lovely and the old engine oil too :)

no its just the regular porter and the other one is the milk stout. i was in there the other night was dying to try the porter but i didn get around to it. i had the same concern about them growlers do they not lose carbonation and go flat?

Are those growlers filled straight from the tap? Can't imagine the beer being in top condition if they are.

Bought it yesterday afternoon, drank it last night. Was fine.  8) Assume it'll be ok to use for homebrewing.

How much does a filled growler cost you?

You like stout then?  ;) :)

The Old Engine Oil is a great beer and the Mikkeller Milk Stout is even better again.

I've never been a big fan of the Brooklyn Milk Choc, the chocolate flavour tastes a bit synthetic to me.

First pour 30 hours from the growler fill & it was perfect.  https://twitter.com/KillerTeez/status/377182345176289280/photo/1  Once you open the growler though its best to finish it. It doesnt keep after that.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

20euro.
Assume that includes growler purchase? Do you know how much a refill costs?

Eoin

How much does the growler hold? Said the actress to the bishop.....

Weiss

20€ is for a full growler containing 4 pints of any of Sweetman's own beers.

A refill is 12€ though I think I saw somewhere it's a tenner with Beoir membership.
