Gotta love that you can get my local brewery beers St Austell too! <br /><br />Yes I foind your blog by actually realising there is more to blogging than vlogging.

I think the Fran Well's quite good actually, although I only ever drink outside in the yard.

I did note that the guy pouring the Friar Weisse in O'Sheas seemed to know what he was doing. As such, I got a very enjoyable pint.Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155984629200535886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420116927797999271.post-63166513632866060652013-01-05T13:39:16.259+00:002013-01-05T13:39:16.259+00:00I know we should be grateful for even having a mic...I know we should be grateful for even having a micro-brewery in Cork but, like you, I find Rebel Red my only regular drink from them.<br />And I think I know why.<br />I occasionally try their other stuff but I find the quality varies hugely - I suspect that a number of pubs don't bother pouring off a small amount from the lines each day and therefore what I'm getting has been hanging around for a while.<br />Rebel Red would seem to me to be the best of the draught range to be able to withstand this<br />shoddy bar work.<br />Shame really because when it's in top form I quite like most of their offferings.Thurston McCrewnoreply@blogger.com
