draft options

[phatboy]

Guiness, Bass, Newcastle, Spaten, Pilsner Urguell, Harp, Sam Adams, Flying Dog, Sierra Nevada, Sweetwater 420, Blue Moon, Fosters, Leinies, and my old friend Smithwicks.

Any opinions? Jeff - you got any of these you prefer?

I'm opening with a 24 oz newcastle.....

[GAS]

Go for the Black and Tan I say. Deeeeeelicious!

[phatboy]

The Newcastle is pretty tastey, I'm thinking the Sweetwater 420 might be next.

Well I jumped straight to the Smithwicks, fucking dark gold. Then they fucking run out and now I'm back to newcastle. I'm heading to a bar that's got some real beers.

Having been there many times, St. James Gate is definatley worth the visit, as for smithwicks, there are plenty of other great beers to be sampled on the ol emerald ilse.

Cheers!

I might take a month and head over. Of course I might not come back (to US) hang with my peeps and get a gnarly accent (probably lose a couple of teeth too)

I'm drinking bud-light tonight(I have to drive home). :(

If you're going to be in the neighbourhood let me know, I am always looking for an excuse to drink in Dublin, or any other part of Ireland for that matter, and I can definatley help you with losing those teeth!

Cheers!

On the subject of draft options. A waitress explained to me the best strategy for getting good fresh beer.

At "the Flying Saucer (http://www.beerknurd.com/stores.php)" in Nashville. It made sense actually. On Friday nights after the crowd rolls in if there was bottom of the keg beer its mostly gone and the kegs are fresh.

They had sales during the week I think it was like Wednesday. Basically they were selling off the kegs that were almost out. That bar had a selection of maybe a hundred different beers so it makes sense that the more obsolete brands could get stale.

Something to think about.

[phatboy]

If they keep their kegerators at the optimal temps, it shouldnt be an issue.

Plus, you drink enough eventually you'll get a new keg.....


So checkers, you gonna punch my teeth out, or get us in a fight and have someone else do it? If so Im bringing Dwaine, if he can get a passport.....

I am very anti-violence, but I am a great instigator, you're in Ireland, an Irish man is going to knock out yer teeth, it's only fair. It makes the Guniess taste that much better now that you can enjoy it authentically!

And you should bring Dwaine, that would a great trip for him.

Cheers!

I think if you come back with all your teeth you arent doing something right.

I've had a couple of layovers in Shannon. So far, I got all my chiclets but I never left the airport.

That's probably the safest play..... :)
