My New Favourite Beer... ?

[@jonathanhamilton1982]

When I was visiting Ireland several years ago, I was at a pub in Kilkenny and they served me up some Kilkenny cream ale. To this day it is one of my favorites. As I'm in the States it's hard to come by. It's become my unicorn and anytime I can track it down I get a couple pints of it. Enjoy your reviews. Thanks!

[@brennanz7328]

Where have you been able to find it in the States?

[@shaneoballs]

It is excellent, can be hard to get in Ireland and ironically in Kilkenny too

[@Adam-eh1qd]

I'm 39 it is 100% appreciation. Getting drunk is not fun as you get older but enjoying a drink is. I have a couple of pints or a couple of whiskies maybe once or twice a week and that is it. Much more enjoyable.

[@FragranceGame85]

Totally agree, I am Same age and I have a pint occasionally on a dog walk. Appreciate it more now lol

[@jamespenston1122]

The beauty of a pint or two as you get older is something to behold

[@FreeloaderUK]

I'm visiting Dublin in February. I'm gonna make a stop in this pub and I'll try out this beer.

[@lewis_kelly]

I head over for the hurling semis most years & this place is the undisputed first & favourite stop

[@thomastully9002]

Great pub,You will enjoy it.

[@stephenw1799]

That Tudor looking building behind on the intro has a very interesting street behind it which leads to Dolier St. It's closed off now but it's a step back in time, bit like a street out of a Harry Potter movie

[@MargotDobbie]

It's all over Britain and Ireland. You'd like lavenham in Suffolk if you like that style.

[@itsinthetreesitscoming7431]

Over 7 Euros for a pint is a fuckin' outrage....

[@skibbitybopmdada]

Come to western us. Won’t find a decent pint below $8

[@KnIGHGtY]

Fingers crossed it makes its way over to england im dying to try this one!!

[@McAteer87]

I'm able to get O'Haras here in Colorado. The stout is phenomenal.

[@Forestgravy90]

If you like Erdinger I think you'll absolutely love other German Weissbiers like Franziskaner or Paulaner. Aldi Rheinbacher Weissbier is an absolute steal too.

[@bobdickweed]

Hell beers always a win for me

[@fookoff9220]

Yeah Franziskaner is so much better than Erdinger, and the Aldi Weissbier I think last time I had it was very similar if not almost identical to it.

[@TheBustedFlush1998]

I hate Franziskaner, it tastes like someone's squirted Savlon in my pint. Love the others mentioned though

[@RJA]

Paulaner is the best, especially if you can get it on tap. Morrisons sell it. Aldi Rheinbacher is a nice cheaper alternative

[@jayd1974]

Paulaner is a class beer

[@Goblin1986p]

This year I just had the best beer I have ever had. It was called "Weedy’s Rad Idea" Pumpkin Milkshake Hazy IPA from Dark Sky in flagstaff. I dont even know how to describe it...but it was the most interesting beer I have ever had, not an IPA by any traditional standards, but so incredible good. Typically I like stouts and porters, followed by brown ales...but this thing just flat out won.

[@grahamelle297]

That’s a really nice beer on nitro , it’s actually been around from O Hara’s for over 20 years in Irish pubs so it’s funny you are only discovering it now . But no disagreement that’s a very good beer .

[@jameshawe]

That looks delicious 🤤 will order some of that for Christmas

[@neildoherty327]

Get onto the Old peculiar if you're liking ales mate. Not overly creamy but the flavours are unbelievable. Can get it in tesco in bottles. Even better on the perfect draft !

[@chriscostello8757]

Sounds unreal mate and good to see you branching out so far from the black gear

[@derekmcauley49]

I work in a bank. I heard a trader talking about Guinness as a business. He said had a shortage recently. He then went on to say it was because of how popular Guinness drinking is now with Gen Z. I just thought “that is down to one man, the Guru himself”. Cheers Darragh. I wonder if I’ll find a pint of O’Haras in London…

[@latasian0182]

Looks incredible. If you like that style, I think you would also enjoy Old Speckled Hen on tap. Its a creamer.

[@megraw12]

Definitely going to try that. Looks gorgeous

[@tommym1966]

If I see red ales here in Scotland they're a must have. Always delicious.

[@Bansidhe]

Red MacGregor from Orkney and Fire Light from Burnside are both class red ones that spring to mind.

[@jonathansheehan1467]

As an alternative to a creamy pint of Guinness, Kilkenny and O' Haras Red Ale Nitro out of the fridge are absolutely delicious 😋😋😋😋😋

[@michaelrusselll]

You should also try the O’Haras Leann Follain stout. They’ve bottles of it in my local mace and it’s absolutely class. Even better than Wicklow wolf apex. O haras are putting out great stuff lately!

[@DelaneySeamus]

I tried it first in O'Connells Bar next to the Ha'penny Bridge. Absolutely gorgeous pint. I have to agree, possibly my new favourite beer. But we have extremely similar tastes when it comes to pints. I'll always find myself with a Kilkenny when I get a chance but that O'Hara's was something else

[@davebarron5939]

"Picnic Beer" (Beer in a keg) always taste better, and in a bar / pub its all the better yet. Cheers!

[@rozzer61]

If this is better than Kilkenny cream ale, I definitely need to try it!

[@byeates2]

Fairplay Daz, I'm going with Daz as it's faster😂. Irishman in Oz here and when I go back home I always go find O'Haras, it's a quality product. Btw it's nice to see you isolating back into the old form with different beers. If you get a chance go to Bugalars and The Eden in Rathfarnham and check out the food and taps. I watch a fella from England just do the rounds and his views are off the charts as he just does reviews of what the locals want yet places the tourists will also go. Just a thought. I hope you make some good crust. ❤ btw my ole fella would be happy to show you around. He's got 40 years experience in both public houses. Reach out.

[@grahamthomson4424]

Had o haras red ale over here in Queensland Australia, lovely stuff

[@johnvanoconnell7864]

I am a fan of a few cans of o haras Irish stout. Lovely aftertaste, could be creamier though. Would like to try in pub

[@joshhays128]

They’ve loads of Kilkenny over here in the UAE, especially Dubai. They had it in Japan too all on draught

[@clancyjames14]

That looks great. I'm assuming it isn't overly hopped like other craft ales?

[@shorty1786]

Cant find this in the north. Had to order the cans online

[@mossy199]

Well ill be trying this when im back for Christmas at the weekend so! 🤣🤣.

[@jester99991]

Erdinger is amazing!!

[@StravaleReviewsBeer]

Had this in Sean's Bar Athlone years ago - it's O'Hara's Red Nitro but they advertise it as Sean's Red Ale or something like that - worth ringing them up and checking if they still have it

[@rorypilsnerurquell2998]

Great craic Daragh! Need to give O’Haras a try 🍺🍺🍺

[@BrewabitRick]

That looks absolutely beautiful I need some in my life 👍🍻

[@taryndancer29]

Love O'Haras red too! I'm in Germany and can only get the cans. I do really like their stout too.

[@paulnash5500]

Feck, I’m off to get Kilkenny Cream Ale. I’m a Guinness drinker and actually like the Nitrosurge, but on your recommendation, I’ll try it and O’Haras Cream ale.. Feck, where’s me keys, I’m bucking parched now.

[@martinbatley9512]

Glad to see you broadening your pallet Daragh, we'll make an ale drinker of you yet. As you broaden your pallet you might want to revisit some beers you weren't keen on and see how your taste might have changed.

[@markbutler7633]

whens it coming to the north? it looks amazing

[@pauljohnmorales1840]

Will definitely give it a go! Thx Daragh..

[@brendandevlin6328]

I could get O'Hara's in Denmark 20 years ago because you normally drink local! Not Carlsberg/Tuborg :( Hancock heaven :)

[@ffsFonix]

Had a few of these from a can and they've always been decent. Tried Killkenny from a bottle and it wasn't great but I'll give it another go if I see it in the pub

[@seanpcarragher]

I’ve gotta try that beer. And Mulligan’s is such a great pub.

[@whu58]

If there is one beer I love, but have not had since the 1980`s, its `Beamish Stout`, they don`t sell it mainland UK

[@cameronparke936]

If you’re going to go on a Red Ale adventure I highly recommend finding a Sullivan’s Red Ale An amazing pint. Sullivans is out of Kilkenny.

[@Budderz06]

Storm Daragh in the house

[@bertverninsk]

You should try Caffreys Irish Ale. Theres an irish pub in Glasgow I always get a pint o caffreys if im in. Used to do nitro cans of it but our shops in Scotland dont seem to stock it anymore. Such a shame

[@StewartyMac]

This is a great recommendation if you want the worst hangover you'll ever experience lol

[@Bansidhe]

Waxy's have it from time to time but haven't been in there for years. I'm sure you can still get cans in Morrisons or Asda.

[@stehairy]

Hey Daragh Have you ventured into the dark arts of The Porterhouse, the original bar on Parliament St. Great pint of plain porter, also their Red Ale (my personal favourite😉) I’d love to meet you there for a pint Cheers bud

[@KieronMarcH-y2w]

Will order some cans online and try it ; look forward to it 🍻

[@BhoyMolloy]

Was drinking the Porterhouse Nitro red ale years before this came out. Go to the Porterhouse temple bar and try the Nitro red.

[@oracleoftruth]

Darragh Kilkenny is a red ale too. The cream thing is marketing not a beer style. A cream ale IS a beer style but it's nothing like these.

[@msuperegg77]

Love Dublin pubs,but the prices are mental

[@Pete_YT]

I just paid $120 for 24 cans delivered to my place in California. I hope it’s worth it!

[@telephonic]

Nice one.

[@stuartkelly3106]

Probably like a Caffreys if anyone remembers that

Sullivan's Red Ale all the way. Canned O'Hara's is good but I don't think the nitrogen adds anything to the experience.

[@cameronparke936]

The best Red Ale I’ve ever had

[@inimplosion]

Sullivan's is my fave, too. Best in the Brewery Pub in Kilkenny.

[@kevinlarkin9264]

Much more taste off Sullivan's, a very nice ale. Darragh likes the smoothness off the nitro ,Guinness etc

[@kevinlarkin9264]

Sullivan's has more flavour etc.a really nice ale Darragh likes the smoothness the nitro gives like Guinness etc

My favourite was Smithwicks blond. They got rid of it!!!

[@ruaidhrimaccnaimhin5034]

Savage beer, used to love a few pint bottles of it out the fridge. Could never find it on draught

[@nejcpilih]

not a fan of red ales, but such videos make want to try them more 🍺 do you think the high price of the pint is also because people don´t drink it as much as other beer and when it becomes more popular, the price will drop?

[@SurreyHillsMole]

Whats the chances of finding it here in SE England?

[@seaniek9175]

Thick, milky, creamy & rich. Must give it a go.

Good christ, that pint looks delicious.

[@CloudianMH]

Watching you drink that reminds me of those 7 perfect guinness I had in some hotel nightclub in dublin 4 years ago. been chasing it ever since. I remember drinking it and the pint was gone in seconds. I couldn't believe it. It was absolute perfcetion, it wasn't even like i was drinking guinness. I've been to all the big hitters, all the pubs and some got close... there was just something about those guinness I had that night. WHAT CAUSING A DRINK TO JUST BE PERFECT?! I'd just been woken up as the club was right beneath my window, was abit raging it wa a long day, went down to check it out lady on the front desk said i get a free one since I'm staying, went in had a chat with the staff since it was only 2AM and it wasn't swinging yet. Mind was fucking blown... like they say chasing the dragon ever since.

[@Pfessor_Moriarty]

I dropped into Mulligans today to try it. It is not as creamy as made out in the video. Dont be expecting a cremier than Guinness pint. But in saying that I enjoyed it. And what's the craic charging €7.60? That's just gouging.

[@craigtyler9129]

Where can i find this in London!

[@austinnicholl8891]

You can find it in McEwan's Scotch Ale Pub at 3 Savile Row. It's a great place for food, as well. Cheers, mate!

[@MindbodyMedic]

Massage 5.0 Ultra. Not sure, does it come in TURBO DIESEL ?

[@jimmybedding1736]

I just had it from a bottle in the UK and I didn’t rate it like this - not as creamy as a Guinness by a long chalk - tastes like an ale - the red ale from Murphy’s I had in Marsielle on draft was better - maybe on draft this tastes different - but I will say Oharas stout is top class from a can - 6/10’and 8/10 respectively.

Daragh. Love your beer vlogs, you cover my tastes well. On your manscape vlog, I had to lol. Many years ago I had a hernia op. Here’s a couple of verses from o poem I wrote about it. I’ve been and had my hernia fixed A traumatic event I must admit The first step said nurse with a sweet little grin Is go and get shaved, and I don’t mean your chin She offered to do it to which I declined As parts of a man are quite fragile you’ll mind The first bit is easy, as it’s lean and it’s sleek But under and over, its crinkled and weak The inventor of razors and inventor of balls Never conferred on the choice of the tools Said nurse when she checked it, it looks rather sore Just like a battlefield, all blood and gore Etc, etc, it goes on… lol

I've watched you drink many different beers but never Belhaven. You need to try it. There is Belhaven best which is an ale that is creamy as fuck. Belhaven McCallum which is a sweet stout and is pretty nice. And then there is my favourite beer, Belhaven black which is in my opinion superior to Guinness.
