lovely trip to switzerland
April 17th, 2013We were just over in Switzerland for a short visit. We had fantastic weather.
This is a panorama looking south from Thurgau (near lake Constance) towards the Swiss Alps.
(click and zoom in, it’s a big image).
As always, I brought some Irish treats.
We had one fantastic experience. We went for a beer in a bar, and across the road you could see a field of hops growing.
The beer we had was made from the hops that grow there!
If you turned to your right, you could see vineyards on the hills just up the road.
new irish craft beer (and a cider) from Bradleys
April 10th, 2013It’s been a while since I was in Bradleys and Michael has some new craft beers and ciders in, so I drove in this evening to get
- Devil’s Backbone from Kinnegar Brewing in Donegal
- Craigies Irish Cider from Wicklow
- Mahon Falls Rye Pale Ale, the new seasonal special from Dungarvan Brewing Co. in Waterford.
I’ll be trying the Devil’s Backbone tonight – I love an amber ale.
you can see some of my usual favourites in the background, Dark Arts Porter from Trouble Brewing in Kildare, Leann Follain from Carlow Brew Co, and Carraig Dubh from West Kerry brewery in Kerry.
