O'Hara's Irish Red Beer

I had a bottle of this gorgeous brown beer last night and it was delicious to the last drop. It's not easy to find Irish beer in Ireland. I don't count the stuff made by companies like Diageo. These are international businesses driven by profit and slick marketing campaigns. They do what they do, but it's bland mass market stuff. If you don't believe me, try some beer from the Carlow Brewing Company. This is beer with taste at the top of the agenda. Savor is more a word used by wine drinkers, but this is beer that rivals the best wines for its dedication to pleasing the customer, not just emptying their wallets. 

Make sure you ask your local beer shop to get some in. Leave the freezing alcopops on the shelf. Grown up drinkers owe it to themselves.
