Currently drinking this, eating quesadillas and dancing to Belle and Sebastian in my kitchen. What's wrong with me? Snow's gone to my head.

Euro Beer #4 - Mulligan's

In fall of 2007 my wife and I traveled through Europe for 10 weeks. We ate a lot of food and drank of a lot of beer (and wine). Not enough food, not enough beer. Working our way through Dublin still:



Our host and friend told us the best pint in Dublin is at Mulligan's. Good enough for us. I searched later and this seems to be a popular choice for the best pint. I think it's my friend's spot just because it's only a few blocks from his flat. Still, great pint(s).

Mulligan's is a killer pub. It reminds me a lot of Bull McCabe's here in Austin. Go to Bull McCabe's. It's on Red River.

For more euro foodage and drinkage, go here.

CBR 169 = Texas!



For some reason I can not listen to Craft Beer Radio at work. I can look and peruse almost any site on the world wide web, but CBR is blocked (Pandora too). Annoying. I've been listening to CBR since 2005. They are old school, not like these new hot twitterheads. Anyway, back in November they had an entire show of TX beers. Go listen to it now.
