@StephenClinch Galway Bay, Kinnegar, Rye River all doing both glass & cans. If no one was buying bottles we wouldn’t be bottling. Also, you can’t can high carbonation beers on craft canning lines. It’s also very very difficult to can thick imperial stouts. Horses for courses.

@thebeernut Ha! We’ve a beer out soon called “the bots are back in town”

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@Maltcracker @DrJohnDublin @craftybeertweet Start your own brewery so and sell your Xmas box of imperial stouts with a glass for a tenner.

@ConchobharTweet @galwaybeer 13.6% and it drinks like chocolate 😍

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

I made a beer that tastes like a thing that doesn’t have the thing in it. The magic of Malt. Barrels. Time. Coupage. This is one of three barrel aged gems being released in a fortnight @galwaybeer 🎅🍻🔥

@TarftonClax @againstgraindub @GALWAYBAYBREW @galwaybeer Cheers!

@TarftonClax @jokekoky @thebeernut @PintsandPanels @andrewtbyrne @PaddyDelahunty @BarMas Then there is a whole science of foam production and preservation in the mash and all the way throughout the brewhouse to packaging. So many things.

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@TarftonClax @jokekoky @thebeernut @PintsandPanels @andrewtbyrne @PaddyDelahunty @BarMas Could be loads of things. There is more beer in the bottles? than Irish can. Are the Germans bottle conditioned (superior foam)? Bottles filled on counter pressure filler (very little foam at packaging vs craft canning needs good dense foam breakout at packaging to get low oxygen

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@TarftonClax @jokekoky @thebeernut @PintsandPanels @andrewtbyrne @PaddyDelahunty @BarMas Are the Irish ones in cans? And German ones in bottles ?

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@TarftonClax @thebeernut @PintsandPanels @andrewtbyrne @PaddyDelahunty @BarMas Is it “craft” cans or macro brewery cans ? Same beer in both the bottle and can you are comparing ?

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@StephenClinch Cheers Stephen!

@kaigalway @katymcguinness This is not the case for Irish farmed Salmon

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@purrfectpint @foxatronic82 @TheUnderDogPub @FCSlattery @BrewDogdublinop @thebeernut @beerfoodtravel Much higher duty. 10 abv+ beers also cost waaaay more on grain. Most mash tuns are designed to brew mid strength beers. Brewers will use twice as much grain and usually do two of those mashes to yield a wort for 10abv or higher. Costly & inefficient. 4x yeast. B-aged adds 1000s

[GalwayBayTom @Bready_Hopper]

@irishbeersnob Galway area has lost the run of its self too. Mad stuff. So much better value and better courses if you are willing to drive 45 mins out of town.
