When in reality, there's a beer fest.
The Franciscan Well holds an annual Easter beer fest for two days. Easter Sunday around 3PM Ally, Maggie, and I headed down to the pub to check out this beer fest. Since it was the afternoon it wasn't packed but enough people were there to have a nice atmosphere about the place. There was an outdoor tent with 12 different micro breweriers set up. All in all, there were about thirty different beers on tap. There was even a menu with all the beers listed.
I tried 4 different beers while there, a half pint of each. I tried an amber ale called Windjammer by a brewery in Waterford. It was supposed to have a pineapple/ mango taste but i didn't taste any fruitiness at all. Then I tried an Irish Red ale from Eight Degrees, a local Cork brewery, called Sunburnt Irish Red. I love Irish red's so of course that was delicious. Then I had one called Sunbeam Pilsner, from Seven Windows in Cork, which was absolutely amazing. It tasted like a Carlsberg :) Finally, I had to try a home brew called the Blarney Blonde.
Along with this delicious overload of beer we ate way too much delicious pizza.... You cannot deny how good this looks and it tasted even better. I'm definitely happy with the way our Easter went.
Also, I should make note that I won't be updated for about 3 weeks because tomorrow I leave for our trip!! Ally, Maggie and I are going on a fun European Adventure. Amsterdam- Brussels- Paris- Valencia- Barcelona- Edinburgh-Cork. Look out for lots of pictures when I come home :)
