Muckish is definitely live- I was kindly given 2 bottles of their Miner's Red from a fellow Beoir member that was up in Donegal recently. We my have to set up a thread to share tasting notes/availability etc (for us non-bloggers that is)

Really impressive- it's a style that normally is quite dull. But there's a decent amount of Centennial in there to give it some hops (although I'd want more!)
