Linuxbierwanderung Among The Heather

yalla writes: "After being in Pottenstein, Coniston and Bouillon, the Linuxbierwanderung is taking Place in Doolin, Ireland. As every year, we're holding lectures, take a lot of hikes and obvisiously enjoy the local beer. This time we even got our own beer: The 'Black Tux' (Stout), 'Reddish Brown Beer' (Red Ale) and the 'Holy Penguin Pee' (which is a Lager). The beer was sponsored by the Irish Linux User Group. Our network setup is sort of weird, like last year; we connected the camping-site via wireless LAN and directional antennas with 'The Hall,' the local community center, which is the central gathering place for all activities."

My favorite comercial beers are english, Boddingtons, Watneys, Samuel Smiths, Bass Ale.

They're in Dublin (Eire, or Southern Ireland)

They're in Doolin, as someone has already pointed out. The exact opposite side of the country.

And, BTW, Southern Ireland refers to Cork, Kerry, etc. I suspect you mean the Republic of Ireland, which is the official name of this country. You only use Éire if you're speaking in Irish, or if you're an American waxing lyrical about the 'Old Country'. Article 4 of The Constitution clearly shows this.

Mod accordingly ... :-/

good beer can be found in America

I spent a few years in Oregon, and good microbrews are available all over the Pacific Northwest. Upon returning to England I was delighted to find some Rogue (from Oregon) ales available in my local store!

while these might be wussey enough for yankee tastebuds, for real flavour I'd recommend Fuller's "London Pride", Burton Ale, Badger Ale, Shepherd's Neame "Bishop's Finger" (dont ask where it's been), Old Specled Hen...(insert your favourite ale here).

Over in Ireland local brews are a very rare treat, most places you're best making do with Guinness, which is treated with the esteemed respect rightly it deserves.
