Will Travel for Cask (But You Knew That)… | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Gravediggers | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Botanic | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to (Some) Kilkenny Pubs: A Weekend in the Country | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Brickyard Gastropub | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Old Spot | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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
Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Porterhouse Temple Bar | WeirdBeerGirl.com
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!

Stouts are black. Or are they?
A year or so ago, I finally had my go at a “white stout”. I never went after it, because in my opinion, this seemed like just a funky gimmick you could do, without much added value. Sto…
We're now also on BlueSky.
The intention is to post here, there and Instagram, and withdraw from Twitter completely at some point soon.

Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: Piper’s Corner | WeirdBeerGirl.com
Piper's Corner is very much a trad bar, and while I end up there not so infrequently, I've oddly never been in when a session is on, despite being something of a folk music nerd. And while at some point I will have to remedy that, I enjoy the pub for a variety of other
