First of all, I just wanna point out the change of name to this blog.  Quare Swally seemed like a more appropriate title for a beer blog from Northern Ireland plus it’s a wee play on the well known book title Where’s Wally?  So Quare Swally it is then.

Just like the Rocky or Die Hard series, you can’t keep a good thing down.  

Although – granted – they were both ever so slightly more entertaining than these beer place name blog shenanigans.   I’d mentioned in part 4 it was becoming more difficult to do these as Northern Ireland isn’t the biggest of places, which is why part 5 begins in County Donegal.  So let’s cross the border, live a little, be risqué and all that crap.

In April I was in Fermanagh meeting up with Gordy Fallis from Inishmacsaint brewery.  We had a good afternoon chatting over a couple of pints of a fantastic new bog myrtle beer he’d just brewed.  Man it was tasty!  Here’s hoping he can develop it further – depending on factors such as getting the time and manpower to pick bog myrtle!  Does anyone wanna pick Fermanagh bog myrtle for a few hours? 

While I was there I reacquainted myself with his Lough Erne brown porter which I’d first tried at the Belfast Beer and Cider Festival last November. Handy for a photo, as I was staying at…?

So place names part 6 beckons?  I’ve no idea what that holds!
