Nitro Bitter From Ireland By Belly Buddy David Lauterbach I enjoy having a selection of Irish beers to choose from when the St. Patrick's Day parade comes through my town. It is because of this that I stumbled across Caffrey's Irish Ale a few years back while trying to stock the shelves with some variety from Ireland. Caffrey's comes from Belfast, North Ireland where it is brewed by the Thomas Caffrey Brewing Company. The 14.9 oz cans feature a nitrogen pocket that agitate the beer when you open it giving it that great 'from the tap' quality. Even if you know what the nitro 'widget' is, check out my Guinness review that gets up close and personal with this beer agitator. Caffrey's is considered a bitter, but this is not overly bitter. It has a dreamy, creamy, toffeeesque taste that is light enough to drink all day. Despite the toffee quality, I wouldn't call this beer sweet. It has really beautiful amber/copper coloring and a thick, rich head. The head will stay with you all the way down to the bottom of the pint too, even if it's a soaped glass. This is a fairly light beer so I can easily drink these all day long, but on St. Paddy's I usually end up moving on to Guinness. Now, here's the problem with Caffrey's... you can no longer get it in the U.S. As faithful American drinkers of this fine ale may already know, Coors Brewing Company acquired Caffrey's in December, 2001 when they purchased U.K. based Carling Brewers who had the distribution rights. Sometime in 2002, they stopped distributing Caffrey's in the U.S. due to poor sales. It is still available in the U.K. If you've had Caffrey's and want to see it in the U.S. again, you can call the Coors Helpline at 1-800-642-6116 and let then know, or you can sit back and do nothing about it while poor uneducated souls end up buying and drinking Coors' other acquired (and promoted) Irish-type beer Killian's Red. But those who have access to it will probably agree- it's a delicious, authentic Irish ale that is sure to please better bitter beer drinkers. Rated 10.09 by 416 Beer Drinkers.

PLEASE BRING IT BACK TO THE US!!! 10 scot free» drank this in london in september '07. i agree with previous rater chris c. it reminded me of guinness with the thick head, smooth but with more like an ale taste. great stuff!! 11 Not a Lite beer fan.» This was my favorite beer and I miss it dearly. 0 Beer Lover» Tastes like flat beer. That is YUMMY. Yuck! 11 Mark» I am going to work on somehow getting Caffrey's to the US. I was in the beer industry and I can tell you it was the best I have ever had. Do what you can to help 11 Dwayne» Lived in Scotland for three years and Caffery's is the best beers around. 11 tom» airline pilot, much UK time, it was a favorite of most of us. 11 troy» got hooked on it while back packing in australia. It is like sitting on a wheat cloud in heaven. 11 jimmy doodah» I drank this in freehouses in the U.K. It is the best beer ever. They need to market the beer like they do guiness and it will be the most popular irish beer in the U.S. My friend was allergic to alcohol and would still drink it cause he loved it.lol Key:   9 Rating   RED» Guests   GREEN» Registered Buddy Rate It & Post A Comment    IP Logged: 38.103.63.18 Rate It: Choose 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Name (optional): Comment (max 250 char, optional): In order to post a comment, you must also supply a name.           Want to elaborate?
