Beer a day - Support my alcoholic addiction - McGargles Fancy Frank lager
Let's get drinking.
I've got my hands on some Fancy Frank lager coming from Rye River Brewing Company. Based in Celbridge, Kildare Ireland the brewery employs over 40 people. They are producing more than 20 beers under different brand names like the Solas, Crafty Brewing Company, Grafters and McGargles.
The can looks nice, a bit fancy but nothing too much. Comes in a shape of 33cl can or 0.5l bottle. I had a couple of cans (not by my choice because I would prefer bottle because it has somehow cleaner taste or if you are sick of bullshit its just bigger and you can taste it more times to be sure of the opinion you are forming about a beer - get drunk).
So I poured it in the glass (obviously oversized and wrong brand - but who cares about that) to see beautifull slightly murky golden colour. It had a pretty consistent foam as well wich I thought that was nice.
Tried it, tried it again, and again, and to be honest it's just like a good lager. Really nothing special in it. I'm not saying it's not good, but I would expect more from a drink with a fancy name like that. Good choice for #beersaturday!

Gargle away!! :)
Lagers are typically underwhelming for my palette. I’ve also had some good ones, but nothing has blown my mind.
You are so right about that. Once when you taste a beer outside the box, there is no coming back . :)
