Who’s Mo? That’s the question I asked myself when spotting this lager. To answer it I bought the bottle. According to the back label it comes from the Mo Chara pub in Dundalk. I must admit to never having heard about it before – let alone visited – although their website here does look cool ..read more

My local M&S only stocked wines & port – up until recently. There’s a new small section of low & non alcoholic drinks however. This Somerset Low Alcoholic Classic Cider came from Sheppy’s Cider Farm & is an M&S exclusive. Pours a bright dark yellow/orange kind of hue. Not much of a head. Crisp & ..read more

Always on the lookout for low-or-no-alcohol products I came across these boldly labelled zero beers from Austria & Germany in my local SuperValu. Stiegl Freibier, 0.0% I’ve previously tried some Stiegl product – mainly their Radler here – & was quite impressed by the flavours. I like the no-nonsense labelling of their Freibier & am ..read more

The Dunbrody was a sailing ship from the 1840’s that became famous as a famine ship ferrying folks trying to flee to America from Ireland during this bleak period.

When it comes to crisps Extra Crunch & Crinkle Cut clearly make a difference. As do slicing the spuds skins on & extra thick as these Keogh’s Crisps are. What will probably draw more folks in however is the Guinness collaboration. Dried Guinness Stout is one of the ingredients. Keogh’s do make exceedingly tasty crisps ..read more

Karpackie Lager appears to be named after the Carpathian Mountains in Poland & this beer is caring for the Carpathian Wolves. Giving something back as they say. This bottle has made it from the Polish shops to mainstream SuperValu supermarkets where I picked it up. Always keen to try out something new I purchased a ..read more

Frontman for British rock group Motörhead – Lemmy – had a penchant for Jack Daniel’s. I always like a celebrity tie-in so spotting this Iron Fist – named after a Motörhead song – American Whiskey, I thought I’d grab a bottle. The Chase Is Better Than The Catch with this one however. The term American ..read more
