We also sampled a lot of great beer both in the brewery and in Kavanagh’s and Sally’s Portlaoise.

I can’t recommend a visit to Ballykilcavan enough if you haven’t been before!

We had a great day out yesterday in @ballykilcavan.com where David gave us a top notch tour of the brewery and gave us a very insightful and interesting talk on everything from brewing process to the history of the family farm to the setup and running of the business…

Another good trip to @ballykilcavan.com yesterday…wish we could actually get the stout on the regular! Nice to see the griffin keeping an eye on things. Great job organising once more, @craic.beer.

Haven’t done a #beershirtfriday for a while despite having a fair few new shirts; been too cold! Couldn’t resist our sweet new Craic Beer Community designs, though - read all about our last trip; can’t wait to head back to @ballykilcavan.com with them soon.

It is dreadful outside. Stay warm in a Dublin pub with a fireplace.

We’ll have a tour of the brewery, hear about the history of the family farm and enjoy pints in their taproom, which has been converted from their old mill-house.

The WW taproom is a top notch place to hang out in and enjoy delicious Firehouse pizza.

Whilst Heineken and Guinness continue to make huge profits, and introduce yet another price increase, Blarney Brewing in Cork are reducing, or freezing, their prices. Support your local craft brewery.
