I mentioned the Alltech Dublin Craft Beer Cup in one of the earlier posts this week. Danish brewers Coisbo were outright winners for the second time in a row, with a barrel-aged version of the beer that won them top prize last year. Eleven is a 10% ABV imperial stout matured in sherry casks. It’s not a subtle beast, smelling strongly of sweet oak, though dryer on tasting, but still very very woody. I think the barrel-aging may have left it a little overcooked for my liking. Continue reading »

These mini meat loaves go down really well with kids. If you’re stuck for breadcrumbs, smash up some cream crackers and they’re a perfect substitute. Continue reading »

I’ve done the research on this recipe and have a Slimming World, Weight Watchers, and calorie count so that if you decide to make this vegetarian bean chilli with rice you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.
You will want to allow 100g of cooked white rice per person to add to the meal; this is included in the meal value calculations. The chilli will keep in a sealed box in the fridge for about 3 days, or freezes for up to 3 months if well insulated. Continue reading »

As a small child, himself knew his great grandmother, a Victorian lady who apparently had a habit of going around with her skirt tucked into her bloomers. Her great grandson remembers that she adored tomato soup, which she would sop up with chunks of bread. I never met her, but I have a vision of a Queen Victoria-like figure schlurping up her soup, then wiping her tomato-stained gob with a lace-cuffed sleeve – a sort of Eliza Doolittle character.

What got me most excited in the run-up to Alltech Brews & Food 2015 was the large number of Hungarian brewing companies listed to attend. It’s far too long since I was last in Hungary so the opportunity to taste my way around its beer scene only a few minutes from my front door was one I relished.
First port of call on arriving into the Convention Centre on the Friday evening was Budapest brewpub Legenda Sörfőzde who brought a very impressive collection of off-kilter beers. Continue reading »

Twenty Four Hours in KinsaleForts, Food, Craft Beer!
It was Friday the 13th but we weren’t staying at home. We were on the road to Kinsale for an overnight stay.
First call was to Charlesfort, this time, not to visit the early 17th century fort but to take the harbourside walk that begins with a stroll down the left hand side of the sprawling complex. There are good views of Charlesfort and the town as you start off and later the Old Head comes into view. Continue reading »

With the school holidays starting tomorrow I suppose I’d better face up to the fact that Easter is about 10 days away or so. I won’t be buying loads of chocolate eggs, but there are a few to be picked up. The last thing I want to do is spend a fortune on a lovely box of cardboard with some chocolate inside.

For a festival organised by a US-based company, we weren’t exactly drowning in American beer at Alltech Brews & Food 2015. It took a bit of hunting to find what was there. Obviously, Alltech’s own beer was front and centre, including the new Kentucky Honey Barrel Ale. This is mahogany red and has a very woody bourbon nose. Continue reading »

The Technical File – Part 2A post by David Havelin at Liquid Irish The Irish Whiskey Technical File (see yesterday’s article) takes no sides on the spelling question. Label it Irish Whiskey or Irish Whisky, according to your like or dislike of the letter e. Hot Cross Buns !A post by imen at Farmette
My very first taste of a warm hot cross bun arrived during the springtime of my second year in Ireland. We were invited to a friend’s farm for an afternoon garden party. The country estate was sprawling, with a main “big house,” several stone farm buildings, and other various dwelling houses dotting the acreage. There was a charming, if a bit battered, vintage grass tennis court and a sweet little lake, which was called The Leap.

Taste of the WeekInstead of the Easter Egg? This delicious 16-piece pack, a big brother of an earlier Taste of the Week, is filled with absolute deliciousness. Some top class liqueurs are used, spread among five of the eight pairs of truffles. Of the five pairs containing alcohol, I found it very hard to choose between the Chartreuse and the Liqueur de Mandarine. Both liqueurs are French, both splendid in the chocolate.

Several established Irish breweries brought beers I’d never had before to the 2015 Alltech festival at the Convention Centre. Galway Hooker, for instance, has just launched a new bottled IPA called 60 Knots. It’s a serious dark gold colour and is all about the classic grapefruit aromas. As my first beer on the second day of proceedings it seemed sharply acidic to begin, and a little brassy.

Whether you’re watching The Late Late or Graham Norton, this easy to make snack will go down well. Irish Whiskey: The Technical File – Part 1A post by David Havelin at Liquid Irish Until now we’ve been making do with the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 to know what is and isn’t Irish whiskey. It has the merit of being a quick read but it comes from an era when there was only one distilling company on the whole island and we weren’t shifting much of the wet stuff. Not much nit-picking over definitions back then.
