Because there are probably lots of people who like free beer...

A little shameless self-promotion for Andrew:


Please join us this Saturday, July 8th between 2-6pm at Bon Vivant Wines for a complimentary tasting of some classic European beers.

The line-up for Saturday is as follows:

Germany:

Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen-Classic German wheat; juicy, spicy, complex and oh, so drinkable.
Monchshof Kellerbier- A very smooth, unfiltered Bavarian lager. A unique beer that you will make quick friends with.
Kostritzer Schwarzbier-Dry, light bodied, roasted and moderately bitter-a nice surprise for those who claim not to like "dark beer".
Schneider and Sons Aventinus Weizenbock- A very intense wheat dopplebock with a myriad of aromas and flavors.

UK:

Adnams Suffolk Special Bitter- A dry, hoppy and very refreshing amber bitter.
Wychwood Hobgoblin- Brown coloured ale w/ nutty, toffee flavours on the centre palate. One of my favourites-could drink by the litre.
Harvey's Tom Paine Porter- In this Age of Reason it's one of our Rights of Man and simply Common Sense to drink great beer.
Belhaven Wee Heavy- "I love Scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly..."

Belgium:

Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus- A complex, dry, intensely tart raspberry/cherry Iambic that begs for food. The true Champagne of Beers.
Fantome Saison- Fruity, funky and refreshing farmhouse ale.
Achel 8 Blonde- A strong, hoppy, authentic Trappist ale.
Duvel- A world classic Belgian strong ale for good reason. Soft, round texture and layers of flavor.

France:

Dupont Organic Cidre- Say au revoir to thin and bland & sweet and simple ciders. True apple flavors abound in this lightly sweet brunch time treat.

Thanks for the plug.

I think you should consider a new blog title. "It's the way I see it..." sounds like something some smug, douche-bag pundit would say.
I propose "I went to Ireland and all I got was this lousy alcohol addiction".

The blog title is quote from a Mates of State song. I don't think I would ever say anything like that, but it was a good title for something that is just me giving my own opinion.
All i'm gonna get in Ireland though is a bigger beer gut...I need to lay off the Bulmer's. Even with all the damn walking... :)
