At the moment we're just trying to see if we can get any of them. By pure coincidence one of the guys who works the weekends just got back from Pennsylvania today and was ranting on about them... He's now really pushing for them too. Unfortunatly, I have tommorrow and Wednesday off this week. Aidan (The Manager) is big for his beers too and he's always up for a chat about them. Pity i wont be there!

Ahh no worries, actually, tomorrow evening I am going to a taping of 'The Panel' and It will prob be Wed or Thurs before I get there, you never know! Hopefully I will bump into you!

Brillant likes his beers and the panel. You've won me over anyway, lol!

I have 2 bottles of Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA in my beer fridge at home. I get a couple from America every so often. I'm due a delivery in the form of my sister in law next month. It's a massive beer but the hop character is not what you would expect from an Imperial IPA. It's plenty bitter but there is little hop aroma and it has massive body and mouthfeel. The 60 and 90 minutes are just outstanding beers. Might get a few brought over next month.

Please let the board know if you get any Dog Fish Head in, Peter. I'll join the queue.

Do you ever get any Rodenbach from Belgium? That's one that I miss, and haven't seen in Ireland.

It's REDMONDS! (not McRedmonds). Blue fronted shop just near the triangle in Ranelagh. Supposed to be excellent for wine also. Beer located in front of and to the right as you go in. They have a large chilled shelf. They seem to source their beers independently, so you never know what can crop up.
