Curry club is Thursdays, and is €9.95 here (including a pint). I think I paid £7.10 a couple of weeks ago in London, but online it's saying £7.25.

I should say we all stayed in the nearby Travelodge that time in Milton Keynes too, rooms were a princely £9 a night! God bless the recession!

Interesting- last time I looked online all their price markouts on the menus were blanked out- I presumed this was so each region could set its own.

I think it's only central London and everywhere else when it comes to pricing. With the euro tanking I think Dublin is the cheapest of them all. Don't expect that to last. (Although VAT here is 9% on bar food, vs 20% in the UK)

I think the stake club is the only club stuff to break €10.
From blackrock earlier, the shongweni Durban pale ale was very young and noticeable.
The o'dwyers stout is no blackrock stout (it is listed as dungarvan on the leaflet)
A lot of the rest were not remarkable but the California breakfast ale has a surprising fresh coffee taste for a clear light coloured beer. If you see it I defiantly recommend trying it if you like coffee.

Has the O'Dwyer's stout been on in Blackrock?
I was hoping to get up to try a pint. Anyone know if it's been on in the 40ft?

Anyway, just to clarify a couple of things:

Correct. It's a collab. Different recipe.

As part of this festival ten international brewers were brought over to the UK and all brewed in different breweries. I was one of those brewers, and I brewed in Wadworth. So yes, capacity is a factor, but it's also the way JDW run the festival.

I think that's what beerfly meant.

Only 3 DART stops away, so very easy to check both <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->
