I don't know about Dublin outlets but down here in Cork City the
Franciscan Well Brewery & Pub, North Mall, Cork +353 21 210130 do a
fantastic Kolsch, their 4.2% ABV Blarney Blonde. Give them a ring to
find outlets (if any) in Dublin. I do seem to recall that they do have
some connection with one or two Dublin bars so a quick call might well
be worth it.

There is also one specialist beer importer here in Cork which imports
German (and Belgian) beers and distributes them to the few specialist
beer bars scattered throughout the Republic. I don't have contact
details on me but they own a Cork pub, the fantastic Abbot Ale House
on Coburg Street, and I'll pop in to get the phone number, email addy,
a list of German Beers they import and any regurar clients up in
Dublin, I'll post back here when I've got the info.

HTH.

IIRC, both the Porterhouse and Messrs Maguire in Dublin brew a Kolsch
type beer every so often. Never tried it though :-(

Just out of curiosity...
If you travel to Köln next week, are you going to ask where you can obtain
draught stout?

Not such an odd question. There's an Irish pub or two in Cologne,
and in several other German cities. My uncle lives in Berlin, and
there's an Irish pub right across the street from his apartment.

Don, *sigh*

there's Irish pubs in every minor and major city of the Northern
Hemisphere, and, no doubt in most of the 'lower' part of the globe too.
But our travelling friend probably wants lambic in Madrid and Sahti in
Brussels...

Cheers, Joris

I realize you're employing a bit of hyperbole here, but...

So why would such things be a problem? I can name a good pub or
two in Seattle where lambics are available - lovely Belgian lambics
in good shape. Yeah, Ireland is the home of stout, but these days,
if there's a pub with a variety of beers on, and one happens to
be Früh or Reissdorf Kölsch, is that a terrible thing? After all,
it wasn't so long ago that you were enjoying a nice session at a
pub in London that's been known to serve a nice glass of Kölsch.
Is that a bad thing?

Just a couple of weekends ago, I was drinking draught Leipziger
Gose at a Seattle pub, too. Bad? I realize such a thing is not
an everyday occurence, but it was nice to have while it lasted.

OK, if you insist to take it up seriously what I meant as sarcasm.

When I went to Denver last month, and happened to be offered Gose - I drank
too. But in general, when I'm traveling, I'm looking forward to enjoy to
LOCAL specialities. Usual that's what is best, anyway. On the Westcoast,
I'll go looking for hopmonsters. If I go to Dublin, I'll drink stout at the
Porterhouse and look around what new things the brewpubs might have in
stock. That MIGHT be Kölsch, and I MIGHT try it.

But travelling to Dublin and asking for Kölsch, that is spoilt kids'
reaction, IMO.

I used to live in Solingen between Koeln and Duesseldorf-strange thing was
that Koelsh was not the thing to drink in Duesseldorf and Alt was not the
thing to drink in Koeln. As an English beer fan I found this very strange.
