Tell me your fave Irish Red

i honestly havent had many in the style but i have always thought Sam Adams Irish Red was tasty

 

This is a style i really havent had much of. I have had Brian Boru and i really enjoyed that however

 

Brian Boru is the best I've had.

 

Her name was Maureen. I met her at Temple Bar...

Oh wait. You mean beer. Never mind.

 

Im partial to Boulevard's Irish Ale...my favorite of their regular offerings. And, at $6.99 it's a steal!!

 

I haven't had many but I just had Great Lakes Conway for the first time and really liked it. It's mild but has great flavor.

 

Three Floyds' Brian Boru, no doubt about it.

 

Harpoon Celtic Red by far.

 

Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale and FFF Brian Boru are the only ones I've had that really hit the spot..

 

Best Irish Red I've ever had is Kilkenny's. Only ever had it while Ireland though and have never found a place that has imported it in the US, unfortunately. Smithwick's is the Irish Red that gets all the attention in Ireland when it comes to red ales, and is the only one that gets imported to the US from what I've seen, but Kilkenny's is the better beer if you ask me. Has a creamier body and is poured like a Guinness. Fantastic example of how the style should be done IMO.

Never found a beer quite like it in the US, but it isn't a style I really have ever saught out either.

 

I second the mention of Boulevard Irish Ale. Sam Adams Irish Red is also pretty good. Both of them are easy to get and won't break the bank.

 

O'hara's Irish Red is my favourite that I had so far. Sam Adams, Alpine McIlhenney's, and Moylan's Danny's are also solid.

 

Great Lakes Brewing Conway's Irish Ale.

 

O'Hara's and Boulevard. I wish Irish reds were released year-round instead of in the spring. When I'm in the mood for more hops, Odell Red is fantastic.

 

Dammit. You beat me to the same joke. (Mine was Colleen)

 

I will also say O'Hara's Irish Red. Smoky, tea-like, delicate and drinkable. The best example of the style I have come across and it's from Ireland!

 

Kilkenny's on Nitro in Ireland is unsurpassable. Otherwise Baxter Amber Road, though not classified as one. Of those that see wide distribution, Sam Adams Irish Red.

I did not enjoy my O'haras red, but that could've been a freshness issue.
