I couldnt attend.

Yep, the Druid's Brew was excellent. It ran until Monday and was replaced on Tuesday with O'Hara's Stout, which I think may still be on.

Old Hooky is nicer on cask. That dark Bombardier was a disappointment for me. Never had that Harveys one.

the harveys is from a small brewery in Lewes and is not widely available outside the South East of England.

to be honest, I bought a few of those bombardier for the Supersonic Festival the other week only because they were called "Satanic Mills". I had one at about 3.30 in the morning so can't remember much about it.

Aldi are now stocking a "Traditional Irish Ale". It's being brewed by the Carlow Brewing Company who make O'Hara's stout. 4 330ml bottles for 5.99. If you've had any other Carlow products I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Sounds to me like they're enjoying themselves immensely.
