I noticed that the crafty fox (good name in fairness..) opened in Denmark Street, Limerick. Anyone being in or know anything about it?

it's only 13:25!! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Bah! That's the name I entered into the draw to name the Brew Dock! Will alert my legal team asap...

Went in Friday night for a few drinks. Like the ubiquitous curates egg, good in parts.

Good:
Range of beers. O'Haras Stout & IPA, Metalman, Howling Gale, Rebel Red, Dark Arts, Deception, Sierra Nevada PA, House stout & lager

Samples readily available

Staff v enthusiastic

Poor:
Prices: Bit on the Dublin side, €5 for Metalman

Decor, large area, empty & barn like

Staff, not v knowledgeable on craft beer, some were not very good a pulling pints.

Band, no need for a band, plus they were awful, not just to my taste but bad.

The poor parts I will put down to teething problems. The best part is that loads more people were introduced to craft beer, particularly Irish ones. One guy in our group (60+) was in love with the O'Haras stout, professing the best he ever had, life long Guinness drinker. Two others, (50ish, life long Guinness drinkers) were openly intimidated by the lack of brands. One stuck to lager the other tried O'Haras stout. Had about 5 pints but complained about everyone of them.

All in all a welcome addition to the Limerick pub scene. They deserve support for being brave enough to take the risk, I'll go back.
