I'm not a beer snob whatsoever and I'll just as often drink a mainstrem Moretti or a Carlsberg or whatever is on draught where I am, but a few faves over the past few years that took my fancy and wouldn't be as widely got would be
Ambush by Trouble Brewing
Jump for Juice Passion Fruit by Vocation
Rebel Red by Franciscan Well
High Wire Grapefruit by Magic Rock
Wunderbar IPA by Rascals
Brú Lager by Brú
Arcadia Kolsch by Wicklow Wolf
Poachers Pale Ale by Carrig
Gamma Ray by Beavertown
Leffe Ruby by Leffe
Haven't had some of these in a fair while so some could well be discontinued... |

White Hag Atlantean
Trouble Brewing Ambush
Boundary Brewing Imbongo
Vocation Crush Hour
Bru IPA
Galway Bay Full Sail
Kinnegar Scraggy Bay
Abita Purple Haze
Lastly a home brew
Mangrove Jacks Juicy Session IPA.
Any of the above put a smile on my face and make my taste buds come alive  |

"Chimay Chouffe Kwak kriek
That the same as La Chouffe, with the gnome on the bottle?!
Yes, that's the one. Sorry, I wrote that post in a rush last night. 🏃♀️"
Not at all. One of my locals were serving bottles of it one fine summer's day last year. I helped myself to a few... not realising until a few deep that they were 8% 🥴 |

Im goin be bold here and say, cmon, this gimck of craft beers (IPAs) look into what an real IPA is, over malty or hoppy shite. A craft beer is meamt to be a beer brewed in small batches, bjt when its freely available in most pubs it aint a craft beer. I did enjoy the Italian beers, morrettie,peroni. But an bottle of carling XL out the fridge n a half pint glass was something else. From a waterford lad. |

Innis & Gunn. They have a few variants but their original one is my favourite. It's a red ale from a brewery in Edinburgh and is absolutely divine, having taken flavour from the bourbon casks where they age it. Discovered it on a work trip to Edinburgh and fell in love. It used to be available here for a while as they do export, but haven't seen it for a few years now, sadly. |

Craft beers a gimmick?
Do your research and see where and how beers originated.
They're called craft because that's what beer was originally. Different methods and ingredients/ variations used in different localities, before your Moretti/Heineken/Madrid generic piss came around.
