What are you drinking?

Roundstone ale - hadn't come across this until this evening, but very nice

It is, as is the village it is named after.

I've got a bodhran made in Roundstone. Proper goatskin one made by Malachy "Bodhran" the guy who supplies Christy Moore.

I'm home - tea and Guinness!

Don't doubt the village is very nice, but if you believe their advertising bumff, the ale has nothing to do with the village, it's from Tip!

The back story to Roundstone is that it was created by two brothers in Tipperary who liked to race, climb and wrestle. When they weren’t acting the lig they built walls. And it was with two special stones they found while wall-building that they launched their new career as primitive craft beer brewers. Using the two stones (which may or may not have had magical qualities) they milled grain and happened upon an Irish ale. They called it Roundstone after the broad, flat and round stones used in the process.

Down in Cork for a few days drinking Rebel Red on draught - a nice drop, bit like Wychwood's Hobgoblin.

Daffy's gin. Superb. Not as good as Shortcross but definitely up there.

A damned fine beer it is, Merv. My local has both it and Chieftain (another from Franciscan Well, it's an IPA and I actually prefer it to Rebel Red) on draught.

Never even heard of it but will check it out, haven't been near the Port this year right enough.

Kiwis is the only place in NI that I've come across that stocks beers by the Kernel. The kernel have created some of the best and most drinkable IPAs I've ever tried, I'd highly recommend to anyone. Don't let the plain beige lable put you off.

Now I'm definitely going!!! Was more than partial to their Saison beers when I lived in Liverpool. The craft beer scene is so much bigger and better there.

Hope they're better than his chicken!
