So I very often have @philipsheppard.bsky.social in rotation intentionally or in my mixes when working away - apparently we spent about 3 days together in 2025…! Thanks and keep it up! I can only imagine they’ve sent you like fifteen cents for the pleasure…

Coming late in the season to @thewhitehag.bsky.social Fleadh Celebration Ale. A mix of red ale and American IPA, and oh my is it lovely. #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer #bskybeer

First past the post is hilariously unrepresentative in a multi party system. 75% of people actively voted against the winner of this mayoralty. 70% in North Tyneside. Etc.

Aldi’s Czech style pilsner, brewed by Pearse Lyons in Dundalk. I took a sniff and a swig and was immediately thinking “Pilsner Urquell” - great job for €2 a bottle. Amazing. #bskybeer #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer #pilsner #czechbeer

A very decent IPA from Dot Brew’s spin off series (Aldi again). More hops would help but another decent offering on the shelf at the discount retailer. #bskybeer #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

Prompted by @antrim-man.bsky.social I went to Aldi and picked up this double IPA from O Brother Brewing. It’s bold alright. Definitely the hazy tradition. Nice drop. #bskybeer #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

Another Aldi / Pearse Lyon’s brewery offering, “Roadworks IPA”. Very solid if not quite blowing me away the way Brown Bear did. But I like their output and will be trying more #bskybeer #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

And now, dialled up a bit. Very nice stuff. #drinkirish #irishbeer #beer

Been trying Aldi’s Brown Bear range - brewed by Pearse Lyons Brewery in Dundalk. Fam, this is beautiful stuff - reminds me quite a bit of Sierra Nevada. This could become a daily drinker. More experimentation required! #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

An O Brother Brewery Eachtra stout from their Aldi range. Very drinkable, if not very exciting. #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

Giving Lidl’s @ryeriverbrewingco.bsky.social crafty brewing IPA a go. Great value for money. Excellent nose, decent palate. #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer

Next up in #drinkirish #beer - Rollover from the haze masters at Whiplash. Very citrusy. Interesting kind of… caulk like taste that I get out of their beers. The water? Anyways, very nice! #irishbeer

Tonight’s first #irishbeer from Blacks Brewing, Kinsale Pale Ale. It is an amazingly fresh brew, does exactly what it says on the label. You could drink it all night without sacrificing decent complexity. Excellent long finish. #drinkirish #beer

Starting tonight’s #irishbeer proceedings with Guinness West Indies Porter. Nice drop - mellow, coffee and toffee. #drinkirish #beer

Big energy.

It’s the weather for a good Helles lager - @thewhitehag.bsky.social with this lovely example, which my local Molloy’s had on special. Crisp. #drinkirish #beer #irishbeer
April 11, 2025 at 6:26 PM
And now to wash down some #irishbeer with some #irishwhiskey #whiskey - one of the best of the recent core releases of Redbreast, IMO
April 4, 2025 at 9:31 PM
And another #beer from @thewhitehag.bsky.social - Bran & Sceolan “Irish IPA”. Sweet, floral, with nice hops on the back end.
April 4, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Next up #irishbeer a very hazy Magic Mist from @thewhitehag.bsky.social - fruity and balanced. #drinkirish #beer
April 4, 2025 at 8:24 PM
Starting this evenings #irishbeer exploration going back to a brewery that I’m really starting to enjoy a lot, @thewhitehag.bsky.social Little Fawn. This is a beautiful refreshing sunny day beer. #drinkirish #beer
April 4, 2025 at 6:46 PM
A @ryeriverbrewingco.bsky.social Nocturne Export Stout next #irishbeer - absolutely fabulous out of the bottle. Espresso and dark chocolate as it says on the tin. Nicely balanced. #drinkirish #beer

This is the second Wicklow Wolf stout I’ve had, after their Winter 2024 special release. It’s excellent stuff. Burned coffee, very balanced bitterness, great mouthfeel. #beer #irishbeer #drinkirish
March 29, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Starting tonight’s #irishbeer adventure with @thewhitehag.bsky.social Smash IPA, single malt and single hop (mosaic). Very clean and refreshing. #drinkirish #beer
March 29, 2025 at 8:02 PM
Continuing the #irishbeer adventure with Wicklow Wolf Mammoth IPA. Pitched as a west coast IPA, it has a lot in common with the IPAs of yore. Bitterness balanced by malt. Drew me in very well but perhaps not much on the finish. Very ok. #drinkirish #beer
March 28, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Starting this evenings #irishbeer adventure with Handsome Jack from Hope Brewery. Fruit at the front and bitterness at the back, very nice and drinkable for a 6.6%! #drinkirish #beer
