My brother in lawl is a serious coffee nerd. He roasts his own beans.
That is a serious nerd unless he is one of the Bells !

Does not look like much but S D Bells wee place up N'ards Rd at Knock is well worth a visit and have a wee chat with the boss when you are there if he is not too busy roasting.

If you mean for a cup of coffee, Bells only have a couple of drip filters at the market. So javaman is better imho. If you mean buying beans, then Bells has the better selection.

By far the worst of the Bushmills stable ...... still have a bottle of it and won't refuse it though. >EW

If looking for one of these new fangled honey spirits, I would highly recommend the Jack Daniels one ....... ahhhhh ... ambrosia! :D

Buy their beers - it is for a good cause. >drink1

Be honest - did you do it expressly for the discount you get on purchases?
That, and the beer vouchers. And I can now say I own a very small part of a pub.

Has to be dark navy rum like lamb's though, not your light bacardi muck and similar. It used to be my preferred spirit, but haven't had any rum in a long time.

McKibbens was good too, but quite different to Lamb's.

Bush is now very much the favoured ..... I'm away to pour a honey one - thanks to whoever brought that to mind. :thumleft:

FFS BR she's talking coffee, not planes .........what, maybe she has a plane or two & is flying around supping coffee.

Ah feck, I'll leave it to you.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
