I think Kilkenny was 'brewed down' starting about 4 or 5 years ago, maybe more recently than that. I read the book, 'A man walks into a pub..' and it was mentioned in there. I remember drinking that stuff and Caffreys and it was one of the few times I had a seriously bad hangover. I never touched th...

I guess I can't get my head around why anyone would want to drink a 'smooth-flow' type beer, I personally find them bland and not a fair representation of what an ale should be, and I've had a fair few of them unfortunately. Fair enough if you are venturing into ales from lagers, it's a stepping sto...

Why would you want a Kilkenny-Style Nitro beer? Are you looking for a seriously bad head the next day? Kilkenny, and most other Nitro-Keg smooth-flow crap, have a real weird and nasty after-taste and are just plain wrong. Kilkenny was eventually brewed down and altered to prevent the awful headaches...

And as for Big Rock's Grasshopper Wheat - quality aside, it can't really be compared to a German or Belgian wheat beer as it is a filtered, American-style wheat. Amsterdam and Upper Canada have brewed similar versions locally. I was new to the country and didn't realise it was meant to be a filtere...

So does this mean that their 'wheat' beer won't taste like K*ith's anymore? This is the only beer I've ever had from Big Rock and I was very very disappointed. I actually asked the barmaid if she had served me a lager instead of the requested wheat beer, as it was that bland and clear. That was the ...
