In this second episode, I am joined once again by John Craddock, and also by Emmet Ryan of the Sunday Business Post. We enjoy sampling some of the Double IPAs currently available in the Irish market, including Beoir #1 from Black's of Kinsale, Galway Bay Brewery's Of Foam and Fury, Carlow Brewing's O'Hara's Double IPA and Brewdog's Hardcore IPA.

There were some sound issues, please bear with me as it was difficult to record three people at once. Also Emmet's appearance fee was one star wipe.

For more on the Beoir visit to Black's of Kinsale see the video below.
