I wrote a thing that is not about local pubs for local people (as such), but is about cask ale...

It's been a minute, and while we have no new Weirdo Dublin Pub this week, thanks to an epic period of work/kid/theatre/music travel that isn't quite done yet, I did get to indulge in one of my favourite things a lot last week - cask ale! Just, well, not in Dublin. The first bit of
Latest #WeirdoDublinPubs blog is up, and is on brand…

It had to be done. Although I'm a relatively short walk away, I rarely make it up to The Gravediggers (aka John Kavanagh's), but as it's That Time of Year, it seemed only right and proper. My more usual area haunts (I know) have a few things going for them: they are a bit more
Back to normal Northside service for #WeirdoDublinPubs:

We're back to normal Weirdo Dublin Pubs service this week, and we're back in our normal Northside haunts (so seasonal!) with a new entrant to the field: The Botanic. Previously known as The Botanic House, this lovely early-20th-century pub had been dormant for some time, but it's now very much back open, and very much
Not a #WeirdoDublinPub this week, but a few in #Kilkenny. Also, #Sondheim jokes. I could drive a person crazy...

We're back in my busy travel time of year, so this week, it's a quick selection of pubs from Kilkenny, rather than anything more local-to-me in Dublin. And I'm sure Kilkenny residents will rightly point out that these are all touristy in one way or another, but hey, you have to at least tick some
Finally got this out the door...HOPS IN CAGES at The Brickyard for this week's Weirdo Dublin Pubs.

This week in Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs, we're not just crossing the Liffey - we're going Far Away, to the suburbs (though still via public transit - we're not monsters here). While I had been told by many people that The Brickyard was a must-visit, not just for the beer selection but for the

I had every intention of writing something about the couple of new-to-me bars I had a chance to pop into in New York while I was over for work - Beer Run, for obvious running-nerd/beer-nerd reasons was a standout to me, and I was thrilled to have a few festibiers from around the region (I'm
Latest #WeirdoDublinPubs is up - we go to Temple Bar on purpose!

They don't have German beer on tap any more. While The Porterhouse has been serving its own beer in Temple Bar since 1996, it used to highlight more overseas craft and traditional beers as well; or, at least, that is how it seems to stick in everyone's memory - 'everyone' here being the group I
After sampling a red stout yesterday, and a white stout last year, time for a blog post about stouts as a family of beer styles, and about beer styles in general!
