There was plenty of beer on hand from Cork and the event turned a lot of heads in a trendy area with lots of shoppers, diners and foot traffic. Great promotion for Cork, Danilas, Somos Cerveceros and beer in general. At one point, a homebrewer named Buba showed up with a keg of his own beer (a bananna-licious Weizen) and shared around glasses right there on the sidewalk. There is something you will never see in Canada. I also saw something I had never seen before: a modified bike pump that pressurized his keg by hand pumping. Not ideal, but it worked.
The beer brewing brewed was an IPA, of course. A very cool addition was some sugar syrup with added Indian spices. I don't know where this beer will be served but I want to try some.
Enjoy some photos from the event and keep reading further for an interview with Alan Sullivan, one of the masterminds behind the Cork IPA operation. May I suggest you enjoy an IPA while browsing?
Alan Sullivan: I started homebrewing almost 10 years ago. When searching for a name (for the future commercial beer...back then) I named it after the County where my family was from in
I find it interesting that you guys make a black IPA, a Belgian IPA and a Pale ale, yet not an Irish-style stout. Is there any plans for one in the future?
Actually we only brew IPAs , the so called pale ale was a not very hoppy brew and a little too much caramel, but it will get better in the next batch.The hole idea is to not brew the classic Irish style, rather make a twist mixing it with a Californian character .

What are your goals for the future? What are some things you want to see happen for the beer industry in Argentina?
I really hope Argentine consumers drop shitty-crapy-and
soulless industrial beers and turn into craft. There's a lot of great
microbrews to discover
You told me that your Black IPA is the first of that style in Argentina. What made you guys brew that beer?
Nobody was Brewing a Black IPA and... It was freaking
time!! IPAs are my weakness and while in California
I tried many ...not too many...well can't remember how many but surely not
enough... So since I wanted to keep on drinking Blk IPAs...just went to the
brewery and made a batch and still brewing it!
•never trust a brewer in a suit
•light industrial beers are like rowing in a canoe... It's
f#cking close to water
•Never trust a beer that invest more money in adds than in
malts
•support your local Craft Brewery
