The first time I heard the album American Idiot was when I was on holiday with my family in Clonakilty, a small village near the southern coast of Ireland, where an aunt of mine lived at the time.

My sister had it, and played it in my Mom's car radio regularly during the trip.

As a result, the mental image I have whenever I hear Boulevard of Broken Dreams is this old water pump, on the junction of Larkin, Connolly and Casement Streets in Clonakilty:

I’ll never refuse the opportunity to restock Baker’s as long as I see it. The star of the show here is Clonakilty.

There is essentially zero information here from anyone involved so my best judgement is it was Black Button bourbon followed by Rohrbach barleywine. What throws me off is that it’s so damn creamy that I don’t know if it’s coming from the barleywine or they make BA bourbon cream.

Nose- Very creamy shortbread cookie.

Taste- Creamy shortbread cookie with hints of chocolate a là Chips Ahoy if it was a shortbread. Light char and tannins bring a nice spice note followed by brine. Single malt Irish whiskey “gently cut with water naturally filtered through our own coastal rock formations.”

Fantastic stuff, def need a back up bottle.

So my friend lives on a farm on the outskirts of a small Irish village and we went to see this stone circle forgotten by everyone and sat and drew as the rain was closing in on us

Clonakilty, Timoleague and Kinsale. Western Ireland.

Timoleague, Western Ireland. Day one of my Western Irish tour started in Clonakilty, birthplace of Micheal Collins (1890-1922), Irish revolutionary, soldier and politician who was a leading figure in the early-20th century struggle for Irish independence. Next stop was Timoleague, a small village where the ruins of a thirteenth century Franciscan abbey stands picturesquely at the waters…
