EasterFest 2011: Bigger, Better, and more importantly Sunnier.



Saturday saw the start of the largest beer festival on the Irish calendar. The home is the Franciscan Well brewery/pub. The weather has been very warm recently and Saturday was a gloriously hot and sunny day. Perfect weather for a beer festival.


Returning this year was the UCC brewery complete with Germans, Pretzels (came in very handy) and costumes. Last year they had their two beers Hansel and Gretel. This year however they simply called them by what they are.

The Wheat beer was pleasant but a little thin. I could take it or leave it. The Bavarian Lager though was fantastic. Unfiltered hoppy, crisp, fruity and boozy with a little vanilla. It was lovely and perfect for the weather.

Over at the Trouble stand we had the new Galaxy pale ale which was brewed by and using a recipe that won a homebrew competition Trouble put on. The winner, Rossa is pictured above trying his beer for the first time. As for the beer itself? Very similar to Galway Hooker I thought with some extra biscuit body. It was lacking in carbonation so it seemed like it was from a cask instead of a keg. I liked it and I think they could tweak it and make it a regular.

An exciting day for Mitchelstown's resident Aussie and Kiwi brewing duo who have their first showing of beer from their new brewery. 8 degrees brewing (Great name) had their first beer called Howling Gale Ale. It is an American style pale ale hopped with Chinook, Centennial and Amarillo hops. The result is a very bitter and refreshing beer. One interesting thing is just how dry it is. It seems to suck the moisture from your entire mouth leaving you gasping for more.
They have taken delivery of a shiny bottling machine and will be bottling American style in 6 packs of 330ml bottles. I look forward to it.

Metalman (Tim pictured) were out in force. Not content with their wonderful Pale Ale, they brewed another beer and served it from a Cask. Called windjammer, this was one of the highlights for me. In terms of pure drinkability this won hands down as beer of the festival in my opinion. It was a fantastic session beer. It is supposed to be an American style amber ale. I found it to be like a Lilt Shandy (though its nearly 5%). I can just imagine taking an English cask bitter and a can of Lilt and going nuts. While it may be an American themed beer, the hops used were New Zealand in origin. Southern Cross, Pacifica and Nelson Sauvin. I would dearly like to see this on keg because I think a lot of hop character may have been lost in the cask.
I got my Metalman T-Shirt while there too.
At the same stand was White Gypsy with their wheat beer and a blonde ale. I only tried the wheat and it was lovely. Pretty much the same as the Messrs Maguire wheat beer used to be although I believe Melissa has now brewed her own version so the Messrs wheat should be different. Melissa has made her mark on the Messrs beer since she took over from Cuilan at White Gypsy as the brewer.

Barrelhead had their Cask IPA again. It was hiding over at the Messrs Maguire stand. I missed it at the Winter Ales and Cask festival so it was one of the first beers I had. It's fantastic stuff, like a sort of hop tea. I could drink it all day but I can't because there are so many other beers to try.

Another beer I missed at the Winter Ales and Cask festival was the Coffee & Oatmeal stout from Dungarvan brewing company. This smooth stout was packed full of burnt coffee bean flavour. The finish left a coating of sour coffee all the way down my throat. Lovely stuff but as someone who does not drink coffee any more, one I should stay away from.


Carlow Brewing company had a new beer in the form of a smoked ale. Smoked Ale #1 was a fruity and biscuity ale but where is the smoke? On the one hand it was a tasty beer but I was disappointed as I was looking forward to some smokiness. Perhaps this was also lost from the cask conditioning.

Galway hooker had the Pilsner and infamous Irish Pale Ale. In fact they had the pale ale on tap and cask. A quick side by side proves that Cask is not always best as it is far superior from the keg.

Messrs Maguire had the lovely Brown Ale (I did not have it this time) and Melissa talked me in to trying the American Pale ale because it's a new batch. Lovely stuff, it seems sharper and more refreshing than before. Almost like it was lagered. It was great to see Melissa there with her own beers brewed on the Messrs Maguire brewkit.

Beoir Chorca Dhuibhne (Kerry) was there with their regular Cúl Dorcha. I had the Carraig Dubh Porter which was rather pleasant but not a patch on Trouble Brewing's Dark Arts.

There was of course other breweries I did not even try and many beers I did not try but I have had most of them before. Anyway next weekend is the Brewers on the Bay beer festival in Galway so I can try a few more there.

A full list of the attending breweries and their beers is here for anyone interested.

In all 13 breweries showed up, not including Franciscan well themselves making it 14. Barrelhead is lumped in under White Gypsy as it was brewed there (as well as Franciscan Well). They don't have a brewery so just rent time at other breweries. Sort of like Metalman is while they wait patiently for their own brewery to be completed.

Most of Ireland's microbreweries were in attendance including one of the Northern Ireland breweries (Hilden).

I had a great chat with a Camra member who came over for the festival. He was one of the more enlightened members who can see that beer from the keg is not evil and can often contain fantastic beer. I made sure to introduce him to the other Beoir members like TheBeerNut.

It was a fantastic day and I look forward to next year. Next weekend is yet another Beer Festival, this time in Galway. It should be a much smaller affair but I will pop along to Brewers on the bay and see what's going on.

  1. Damn! I missed the new version of MM Pale Ale. S'pose I'll just have to go to the pub for it.

  2. Yeah I was going to skip Messrs since it is so easy to get when I am in Dublin but Melissa made sad eyes at me when I walked in and talked me in to it.
