Back out doing deliveries for the week! Almost giddy heading into work today. I love driving around Dublin delivering beer.

Not sure what’s going on here, but if you’re missing two Spiderman dolls they’re in playground in Shandon Park. Sad day for someone’s kid.

Packed up before 9, not bad. The horse box was looking great when I arrived. Handy breakdown, but wouldn’t fancy having to tow it back to Sligo.

I’ll be back in this shed later for my annual reminder of how horrible I am behind a bar. It’s a really nice event with some great beers and some really nice people. You should definitely go. #DublinBeerFest

An old favourite, every time I come here it reminds me how much I want to go to Japan.

I finally been into the Third Barrell pub, the beer tasted so fresh, was super tasty too. Best of luck to the lads, I’m very optimistic this will stick.

70 plus years in beer right there! Someone thought it’d be a good idea to get me talk about our new Westie with a Grossman standing beside me. No need for it. Got to have pints with a few legends last week thanks to @thewhitehag.bsky.social for letting me tag along!

Can’t beat a couple of days in Sligo, great town. Lots of tasty beers sampled!

I heard cats do well on the internet, this one was much bigger than the one that lives in my garden, but just as sheepish when he realised how close he’d got to me. I was equally as grateful there was a glass door between us.

This place is some operation! Cheap, fast and solid. Still it’s no Chick-fil-a, the king of American fast food for me!

Last week I had lunch in this lovely little pub in the middle of nowhere. Next week I’ll be in the metropolis that is Ballymote! #cantwait

Someone lied to me and told me this was all the rage. It’s smells like a cheeseburger, but taste wise, definitely not for me. ‘Relish’ I did not.

Don’t think I’ve ever been in town for pride. Lovely atmosphere around the place.

People are always telling me, “life’s too short to drink shit beer”. Agreed.

Second time I’ve ever had hop water, it was fairly nice. Can’t really see what the hops are bringing to the party.

I’m usually too cynical to be queuing. This was definitely worth the couple of minutes waiting to get inside.

There are lots of things to do in New York, I’ve yet to find any as enjoyable as walking around Prospect Park at 7am. #allthedogs

Someone in the brewery has decided to keep the coffee in the fridge. I’m not sure how I feel about it.

Looks like they’ve decided to take matters into their own hands!

Man that is harsh! Someone is going to be coming back to collect their car after last nights pints in the local to find themselves very hard done by.

A very tidy new RO machine gone into the shed out the back of the brewery. Will hopefully improve the quality of our beers. Definitely something we should have done years ago.

Out of office! Closed the brewery and went on the beer for the day. Special thanks to Bullhouse for not throwing us out!!!

Track Sonoma AF, very tasty. It’s crazy how much better alcohol free beers have gotten over the last 5 years.

Good morning from a very sunny Kildare. Starting the day with some QC. I swear I’m only going to drink half of this!

Spending the weekend chasing my two year old son around the parks of Paris. Can’t get over how many well maintained public spaces there are here. Beautiful parks with great playgrounds, lots of benches and seats and public toilets.

Someone needs to make a law that the Porterhouse Temple Bar can never change. I love this pub.

Hahaha, the irony! Assume they’re just mad because we don’t give them any money. Surly pictures of pints is not where they draw the line? Did Side Show Bobby not just say pints are good for you?

Great start to 2026, Dark Arts now pouring in Sheehans. Always nice to remind people *other porters are available!!! Probably need to get working on a dedicated glass now that it seems to be getting a bit of momentum.

First time seeing one of these driverless cars in the wild. Way more normal than expected and didn’t appear to run anyone over

After singing the praises of Lost and Grounded in this tipsy post, things got even better when multi people arrived in with dogs and we had some of this man’s amazing Latin American street food. 10/10 would recommend!
