Chilling out hours before our flight back. Goodbye #montenegro Hope to return to your sun soaked beaches someday.
After days of drinking mostly tasteless local lager, it's absolutely great to discover craft beer unexpectedly here at Montenegro. The Professor Doktor and Cista Desetka (apparently a full 10/10) are splendid pool side company.
Didn't realise Serbian craft beer was a thing! Enjoying this amazing little number from #dogmabrewery @theoldfishermanspub in Montenegro. Call us duly impressed!
Been a while since we've done insta and gawd it's like pulling teeth. Reminds us why we loved drinking it more than posting about drinking it 😅 2 odd years now and still here in this crazy stupid country that we've come to love. Shout out to all the lovely ppl who welcomed us here and have reached out ...you've ensured we spent the last couple years enjoying Irish craft ! Sorry for being incommunicando....can't promise that'll change, but big love nonetheless!
Happy New Year you guys! Hope you all had a fantastic start to the new year. We're headed back home after a wonderful road trip. What a fab 2 weeks it's been! We revisited the little corners of Deutschland that was once home and explored new lands in Austria and Italy. While we feel bad that our holiday has come to an end, we can't wait to get back to Dublin! #misstheirish Hope you all have a great new year filled with lots of love, fun and adventures! 🍻
After days of enjoying the great Tuscan wines of #italy we finally get back to basics; exploring the #italiancraftbeer scene. 2 hours and 9 different craft beers down we finally hit the sweet spot with Natale di M... (yep that's the name; appropriately named Mmm...) an #imperialstout from @junglejuicebrewing - rich notes of coffee and chocolate - a beautiful creamy stout brewed specially for the Christmas season. If you are in Rome, @openbaladinroma is a great spot to visit to taste some of Italy's craft beers.
