Don't think I have tried it. The selection in chill has massively reduced from what it was two years ago. 8 degree do another one called hurricane which is very good. I find most local breweries to be bang average, at best. Kinnegar, Galway bay, 8 degrees and boundary are good. Also, what is the effing deal with walled city brewery? It is ridiculously difficult to open a brew pub here and they have made a grand total of 7 different beers in the 4 or 5 years that they have been open. When I went there, only 2 of their core 5 were on but they had about 50 beers from other breweries for sale. Ffs, they even had kinnegar on draught. It might as well just be a pub that you can eat food in.

Derry is strange, the wee brother runs the tap house. The best seller on tap is Heineken. I find all local breweries go for the same line up. Red ale, stout and a pale ale. It's boring but it's probably down to price range and profit. Very few are going to open with a imperial stout or a massively hopped IPA which cost 5 pounds.
 
SWMBO got me a couple of beers from our recently opened ALDI store, this one was my favourite and i will buy it again.

Granted the beer didn’t last long, but pleased with that head retention
