There is a Pint to be made here

O'Haras Leann Folláin 

This is not a beer for the faint of hearted, but for those of you who enjoy a good stout.

Apparently it all kicked of at just a little passed five to six in a little sleepy hollow called Kildare.

Now the time is little after ten passed the eight and back in the Allenswood of Kildare there is trouble brewing. Today we decided we'd hand out two alternatives to the infamous Mr Guinness.

Well, we got what we asked for; a lovely variety, including a few real gems. Up for tasting we had Trouble Brewing Ór Golden Ale, Erdinger Weissbier Kristallklar, Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel, Honey Dew, and Belfast Blonde. So folks, here is my review of the good, the bad and the ugly of it all.
