Craft beer in Moville?

What it says. Heading there for a week over New Years. On the pure offchance the lads are allowed to extract themselves from a crowd of noisy wanes for a couple of hours, can anyone recommend a decent pub or two that might (and I fully understand that this is a long shot) sell the odd craft beer?

Cheers,

Andrew should check out the app for New York as the layout is top notch :).

Cheers Shane. Forgot I had that app on my tablet.  It would appear that side of the peninsula is a craft beer free zone.  Good job I've 3 cornies full of Bazza's finest earmarked for the trip.

I'd say you'll be very lucky to encounter craft beer in Moville (or anywhere in much of Inishowen tbh).

Chill Off License is on the way just as you come out of Derry and has a decent selection of bottles (Kinnegar, O'Hara's, Dungarven, Williams Bros) . You'll find it beside the Magnet Bar. https://www.google.ie/maps/place/The+Magnet+Bar/@55.045744,-7.274568,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x486009d68199e9af:0x3ddf4b127a94b184

......so what I'm hearing is, I'd need to spend a day or two engaged in extensive research of all pubs in the area, a 'crawl', if you will, to find my answer? Hmmm, I'm supposed to be off work but one must make these sacrifices in the name of progress.

Thanks Shane, you're a true friend.

Cheers, Thomas.  I suspected as much. Good thing my main interest there will be looking at the rain and trying to think of ways to make my children stop crying.

C'm on, now, just PM a Movillain.

Rosatos: Good food plus Donegal Amber on tap, Blonde in bottles, and Cloughmore Lager (oxidised) and stout in bottles. Erdingers etc too.
Inish Fusion have a LOVELY amber ale from somewhere, I forget where, exactly. Also a Golden ale from the same company, as well as some bottles. Only there once, but it was very nice, so.

The Moville Antisocial club might have a dark bitter on cask by new years, but the opening hours are entirely random.

Great info Tom, thanks. Good on the food front, too; typically when our family are gathered in a large house for a few days,  I end up doing all the bloody cooking  >:(

Hope it stops raining before next week.

Try McGrory's in Culdaff, too (15 mins away). Rascal's big hop red as well as donegal and kinnegar. They also have gigs and stuff, buy you'd need to check the posters. They serve great food, there's a park by a stunning beach, all in all, a great place to go for, say, Sunday lunch.

Stuff for the kids, too, but you'd need to check with them. ;)
