A great flag to plant for Irish brewing across the water - I'm sure it will raise a few eyebrows!

Well done the pair of yeez!

Two more golds to add to the collection!

[brenmurph]

Thanks folks. As ye know we do work very hard. Does not always work out in case anyone thinks everything we enter does well, it dosnt  Our fantastic scwartsbier scored 16  not sure how but we will work on that. Once again testament to judging in general our 2 golds are the two best beers we entered and james & co, the weiss is de special recipe and process i freely shared since our weihenstephan trip where we got married. The weiss is weihenstephan weiss clone with some tlc and a fridge to bring the fermenter to minus 2c. The kolsh..well what can i say..it  is the one on oak cask at our kildare wedding fest. Ye all tried and tested it and drained my cask. It was the same kolsh in ncb comp. Very subtle and tricky beer to brew and got its just reward.  The rest our shilling and english pale scored late 30's 38 & 36 i think, happy with that. Its not easy to bottle package, ship to uk in advance and hope a live beer is perfect on presentation to a judging table as we lose temperature control and so on compared to taking our entries to a comp in our cool box. So overall we are as pleased with this success as our irish nationals success. Once again our brew days are free, open and educational...come along. We start our lager campaign next week, hop picking fest oct 4th with a fresh hop bohemian pilsner on traditional saaz
