I don't do stouts or porters. The nicest Irish beer I had so far is Scraggy Bay IPA. The best of a fairly average bunch of Irish craft beers but even the worst of them is better than anything that was previously available in Ireland. Actually McGraths Pale Ale too. It's Northern Irish but they sell it south of the border. Not like Sierra Nevada, just a classic British pale ale. Perfect balance.
yes I agree that only a few years ago none of these wonderful microbrews were available too much in Ireland. Now it's a completely different story every everywhere I looked there were dozens and dozens and dozens of microbrews nice and fresh nice pulled pints especially I enjoyed the microbrews in Clonakilty also in Goleen and Bantry in the Southwest beautiful country too. Cork was lovely.
I occasionally go to Dublin for Gaelic football games but I go to Westport quite regularly to walk my dogs round Clew Bay. There's a Clew Bay Sunset beer just been produced but it doesn't compare to the sunset. It's like a slightly tastier Smithwicks which was the only thing I used to drink over there.

Smithwick's is good. I had about 3 pints while in Dublin. But the Franciscan Well IPA Chieftain was really tops.

8-Degrees The Full Irish Single Malt IPA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivCl...ature=youtu.be
The Full Irish was released at the 2014 Easter BeerFest in Cork and it was widely regarded as the best beer of the festival.
This beer is brewed using 100% Irish malt and showcases the best home grown barley, malted in Cork.
Style: Single Irish malt IPA
Malt: 100% Irish pale malt
Hops: Ahtanum, Centennial, Citra, Amarillo
Strength: 6% ABV
Bitterness: 65 IBUs
Tasting notes
Colour/appearance: pours a pale gold colour, with lovely white head. Medium carbonation.
Aroma: lots of hops! It’s a hop bomb with citrus and floral characters, grapefruit at the fore with hints of lime, melon and lychees.
Flavour: hoppy fruit with a biscuity malt body.
Aftertaste: rounded bitterness that cleanes the palate with a lingering sweetness from the single malt, preparing the palate for the next sip.

Craft breweries everywhere are using American hops to get that citrus taste. I bet this beer is very similar to Torpedo IPA. I was in a Dutch brewery a couple of weeks ago with a friend of mine who is friends with the brewery owner. It's called De Molen. They're getting a massive reputation so I thought I'd go and try their stuff. They so a Sierra Nevada pale ale knockoff, a SN Torpedo knockoff and an absolute world class triple that is not a knockoff of any of the top triples. They also do a bunch of other really top beers but all the bottles look exactly the same and the names are in Dutch and it turned into a bit of a session so I can't remember what was what. The bloke ended up giving us the keys to the brewery and fucking off. :)
Well worth a trip if you're in that part of the world.
