Turns out that changing times means muscling out microbreweries…

The Mullingar Wild Beer Festival is back again this year on the 12th of April. It’s always well worth the trip 🍻 www.eventbrite.ie/e/mullingar-...

Nice to get home and finding this on in my local ...

A shame to see Sean’s bar in Athlone no longer has any Irish beer on tap. They had a local tap for a few years at least. #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal

A nice selection of Irish beer in Simon Lambert’s in Wexford 👌🏻🍻 Check out the #DrinkIrish Tap Tracker (link in bio) #DrinkLocal #irishbeer #irishale #irishpubs #pubs

Well I for one, welcome our new dark overlords ...

The Coastal IPA is absolutely bang on in Kavanagh’s Portlaoise. A delicious beer by @ryeriverbrewingco.bsky.social in Kildare, kept and served really well in Kavanagh’s 🍻 #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal #irishbeer #irishpubs #kildarebeer #laoispubs

A publican on @newstalkfm.bsky.social talking about the Diageo price increase saying the small businesses like pubs need to be looked after. Another publican talking about the alternative to drinking Diageo is to change to Heineken.

We’re Hiring! Check out our available position below! ⬇️🍻

Interesting, Galway Hooker will essentially become a contract brand, brewed in @ryeriverbrewingco.bsky.social independent.ie/business/rye...

The Return of the Craic will happen this Saturday 11th of Jan at 8pm! It will be online (via Zoom) and we will be talking to @8degreesbrewing.bsky.social, Our Brewery and Four Provinces. #CraicBeer #DrinkIrish #IrishBeer

Having a coffee Amber ale by #obrotherbrewing in the Harbour bar #bray #sláinte 🍻 #craftbeer

I will continue to use the mailing list for communications about upcoming events/meetups etc. If you were on the list previously, you’ll still be on it, but you can sign up here if you haven’t already (or want to make sure you’re on it) mailchi.mp/2acac04e18e8...

Getting stuck into the latest releases from @ballykilcavan.com 🍻 #CraicBeer #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal #IrishBeer #LoaisBeer

Happy Friday! A wee reminder that this week's new #WeirdoDublinPubs entry is itself a brand-new pub - Molly's Bar! www.weirdodublinpubs.com/weirdo-guide...

I have added the Changing Times beers to the #DrinkIrish database and tapped them into the 14 pubs they’re served in. It would be interesting to see how many of these continue to serve beer from other independent Irish breweries. drink.irish/venues?brand...

Apparently there's a Guinness shortage 🤷🏼‍♂️ ah well. Sure you're better supporting local NI business by buying one of these stouts from a microbrewery in Northern Ireland 😉

Good to see a Modest Beer tap pouring either 2Thumbs Up pale ale or a pilsner (not sure which one) at Amelia Hall bar, Belfast. There's also a Boundary tap pouring Imbongo.

Thank God for beer! 😁 @ryeriverbrewingco.bsky.social @drink.irish

Mescan Seven Virtues lager now back on tap in Mellet’s Emporium, Swinford Co. Mayo. It rejoins Reel Deel Jack the Lad as two local Mayo offerings in Mellet’s 🍻 Photo credit: Marie from Mellet’s #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal drink.irish/venues/detai...

Our eighth annual fresh hopped pale ale is being bottled today and heading out to stockists tomorrow. All our beers are made with our own barley. This one is also made with our own hops from the Ballykilcavan hop garden. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #IndependentBeer

🎄 It’s not Christmas without our Nocturne Export Stout Christmas pudding recipe! You need half a 500ml bottle of RRBC Nocturne Export Stout for the pudding, leaving the other half to sip while you bake! ➡️ ryeriverbrewingco.com/nocturne-exp... #StraightFromTheSource #IrishCraftBeer

Getting ready to bottle our two barrel aged brown ales - one from an Islay whisky cask and one from a red wine cask. Really interesting difference between them, and definitely not saying that just to encourage you to buy one of each. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #IndependentBeer

Any Irish pubs on here for me new list? bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hello, Bluesky! 👋

Bit of news - we've got ourselves a new beer licence that allows us to sell our beers, by the case, directly from the brewery and ship them anywhere on the island of Ireland. You can see the full range at ballykilcavan.com/shop.html #Ballykilcavan #Laois #SupportLocal #DrinkIrish #DrinkResponsibly

For pubs considering pulling out their Forged Stout taps: please replace it with a stout from a local independent brewery. E.g. Rye River in Kildare, 9 White Deer in Cork, O’Hara’s in Carlow & Whiplash in Dublin are a few examples of breweries with nitro stouts. #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal
