You might want to check your membership status, Reuben. There’ll be a strict door policy on the day 🙂
Lough Gill has offered to show us the brewery and we need to be there at 3. Google reckons it’s a 25 minute walk from The Swagman.
Was talking to a beer industry person yesterday and he said Hopfully is indeed still going and brewed at Eight Degrees now.
Bless your optimism. All the old kegs of Graciosa wouldn’t have evaporated when they closed 😛
There was their official final beer, One For the Road, and they did a subsequent festival special IPA called The Lads. But I wouldn’t take their presence at Hagstravaganza as an indication that the brand is continuing.
IIRC, an Irish homebrew supplier went through a phase of pitching 200L Speidels Braumeister kits to pubs, to make themselves into brewpubs, and The Schoolhouse was one of the takers (Elbow Lane may have been another, but don’t quote me). Whether any beer ever made it from the kit to the taps at The Schoolhouse is another question — the one house beer tasted very Rye River-y to me when I visited — but it was licensed as a brewery, so the intention was there.
I’ll take it! Pints in lieu, etc. john@beoir.org.
We haven’t had any contact with Galway Bay in over two years. I don’t think we know anyone who works there any more. I can’t think why The Beer Temple wouldn’t be on the list, but maybe DrJohn can explain.
Work is definitely ongoing. The street-level hoardings are new and the windows were changed recently.
