OT: craft breweries in Ireland

As I've commented before, it's as easy to make good beer as bad beer, mainly depends on the policy of the brewery! Guinness have started brewing some speciality beers and they are pretty decent but only available filtered (and pasteurised?) In bottles but still worth an occasional buy when shopping in Tesco. Also, their draught pale ale and hophouse lager 13 are not bad but difficult to find in the sticks. Mark: when I've been in Mulligan's or the Black Sheep Capel street, they have had 2 or 3 British cask beers and 1 Irish. There's no doubt that the Irish breweries can brew good cask beer, it's just policy (and economics?) Not to. I've never seen a cask beer in Porterhouse but, then, I rarely go there.
