    Hey - does anyone have any current info on Ireland craft breweries? We're going in a week (Dublin, Kilkenny, south coast, Galway) and I'm interested in drinking a lot of the old Irish classics as well as some newcomers... any suggestions? (Brewery locations would be a plus!)

    Thanks!

    Porterhouse in Black Pool seem pretty good, and cheap too.

    As you mention Kilkenny; O'Hara's (Carlow Brewing Company) have just recently opened a pub in Kilkenny city called Brewery Corner (29 Parliament street) that offers their own brews as well as some other Irish craft brews on tap. Do not miss this place.
