Tourists don't come to Kill

My fellow Ciddytourists didn't make it for the quiz on Friday night so our reputation is untarnished as I think we would have fared poorly with the amount of GAA questions asked on the night. I was teamed with a couple of women from Dunabrattin - a remote place where knowledge has not arrived yet apparently. My worst finish ever in a table quiz in about tenth spot.

I have a friend over from the US and I brought him out for a few Dungarvan Brewery beers this lunchtime. We had Black Rock and Helvick Gold. I am afraid he still prefers Guinness but I live in hope.

Tourists come to Kill

Don't panic! I live in a place called Kill, its a village in County Waterford, Ireland.

My fellow members of the Ciddytours Quiz Team are visiting next weekend to take part in a charity table quiz in my local pub. We are generally quite good and have even won one but I am not holding out much hope this time as the lads are coming to my house to try my latest two home brews: Humdinger - a wheat beer and Small Stout - a low ABV Irish stout. These are both tweaked kit beers as I only started brewing a few months ago and want to get the basics down pat before stepping up to extract or all grain brewing.

I had a few of each over Christmas and thought the stout was lovely, a dark roasty flavour with a dry finish and the wheat beer while a bit young was tasty if a little understated in its flavour. I guess I should go now and do some "quality control". I'll keep you posted with the results - of the quiz and the tastings!

Cheers!

I do "tours" of my local pubs with like-minded friends and review the pubs on our website Ciddytours.com.
I am also a member of Beoir - a consumer organisation dedicated to championing the cause of Irish craft breweries and beer and I also occasionally  brew my own beer.
I intend to write about the tours I take and the various beers that I try (Irish and world) here. Oh! and anything else that comes to mind!
