"May is Mild" has been a long running slogan to support the (almost dying) style of Mild Ale in the UK. We always do our very best to support it in the premises around Northern Ireland! Sadly, it looks like no mild this month here, unless maybe an impromptu and unadvertised appearance at the local JDW establishments, but we will support it online.

A favourite outing; a Train trip to Carrickfergus for lunch, a few cask ales and back to Belfast for the traditional pint of ale in the Crown before heading home.
NATIONAL BEER GARDEN DAY
Sunflower Pub, Belfast
Thursday, 22nd May from midday.
Longer and brighter days with, hopefully, warmer and drier weather, enticing us into an alfresco drink with friends and lots of social natter in the beer garden of one of Belfast's most famous old fashioned backstreet boozers.
JUNE:
A heads-up advance notice so people can plan their day
A special ALE BY RAIL is being organised as a request from some members. This is an early morning run (9am start) on the Enterprise train from Belfast Grand Central to Connolly Station in Dublin.
First stop will be just across the street from the bus station; Galway Bay Brewery's The Beer Dock. Then a pleasant stroll to The Silver Penny (JDW) for a spot of lunch and some cask ales and some meaningful (?) conversation. After that, well there are some shops close by if the urge should fall upon you. However, the train back is approx 4pm and there will be the deja vu stop at The Brew Dock before boarding. Home time is around 6:15pm in Belfast so maybe time for a quick one in The Crown before heading home.
