As today is St Patrick’s day I thought I’d treat myself to an Irish beer. What’s good, not Guinness / Murphys / Harp and widely available in England?

Hophouse 13 is ok. If you are stuck to big brands or supermarkets.

There’s loads of small decent breweries across Ireland so try some independent shops to see if they happen to have anything

I’ll let you know when I arrive in Cork this evening…. if there’s any beer left.

I hadn’t come across hophouse 13 – looks worth trying.

Oh hell.

I’ve arranged to to out with a mate tonight for a “few quiet beers,” and not realised the date. Towns going to be full of pissed eejits with green hats. Joy.
