    I will be traveling with my rugby team for 8 days and I wanted to trade some beers or join a bottle share. I am from the States and I am willing to bring any beers with me. I have beers from OEC, The Bruery, Night Shift, Crooked Stave, Russian River, NEBCO to name a few. I am willing to take requests and my teammates will have room in their luggage for a lot of bottles. Are there any pubs or stores I should visit?

    Drinkstore is one of the most complete off-licenses (i.e. stores) in Ireland for beer; check their site for what you can get/shouldn't bring. There are a few surprises e.g. Black Ops and BCS are there for the asking.

    Best Dublin pubs for craft are The Norseman, The Galway Bay Brewery bars (5 locations), L Mulligan Grocer, W J Kavanagh, and the Porterhouse (2 locations.) In some cases, that includes a lot of US and UK beer; 57 Headline is exclusively Irish.

    Can't speak for Limerick but look for West Kerry Brewing for good cask in Dingle.

    Check Beoir for more info and download the BeerFinder app.

    I'm always interested in trades; PM me closer to the time.

    When in Dingle, look for a bar called Dickie Macks, I'm not sure of their selection but it's a great bar.

    If you are over this weekend Galway Bay Brewery is about to release this years 200 Fathoms barrel aged Imperial Stout. This years was aged in Teeling Whiskey barrels. Fairly hard to come by in Ireland never mind outside.
