Since the deadline for the Liffey/Belfast comp entry isn't until the 22nd, the earliest in fact only June Friday date we can pick is the 27th, so adding July 4th as well.

If you'd prefer to have a regular meet earlier in June and have the judging at a later date then let me know, although that only gives us the 13th or 20th.

Please vote or post your opinion.

Cheers,

Life moves pretty fast.....if you don't stop and look around once in a while....you could miss it.

Can't commit to any of these dates but sounds like good craic!

With most likely be away on the 27th...I REALLY need to make a meeting though!

Any more takers here? Currently it looks like 3 of us on the 4th of July.

There's a LOT of beer to judge.

Okay,

So that's the big table in the Heel Bar at the Hudson reserved for the night of Friday 4th July.

I'll follow up next week with time but I would say, provisionally, 7:30 for 8. Maybe start the judging proper at 8:30 just to give folk time to meet up, get settled, get a pint, catch up, admire new hairdo's or nail jobs, etc.

I've taken receipt of a collection of Liffey brews ready for our discerning palettes, and our entries should now be safely down in Dublin ready for tomorrow night's judging.

Big thanks to Shane (Tube) for handling the conveyance and transfer. Excellent door to door service :)

@yarmot - yep, everyone's welcome. The more the merrier; there are a lot of beers to get through!


Look forward to seeing you all there.

Cheers,

Def can't make Friday. :(

Have a good night, supping on all those Liffey brews!

Hi guys!

Sorry I kinda rolled off the edge of the earth there for a while.  Gutted to have missed the competition too!

I'll do my best to be there on Friday!

Edit: Thought this was a club meet up.  Guess I should have read the OP properly  ???

I'm guessing this is just for the guys in the comp?  Wouldn't mind coming to watch, if that sort of thing is permitted?

Not at all Paddy. The judging's open to anyone who wants to. It's all a bit of harmless fun and not to be taken too seriously (although try telling that to the Liffey lads as they pace up and down their respective living rooms, biting their nails, checking their phone every 2 seconds for a new tweet  ;)  ).

I'm hoping we can get around 10 people to judge 17 beers in total. I'm out on Thursday night so there's a real fear of me not having the tastebuds for or inclination towards any amount of beer on Friday night  :-X 

So far I count (for judging):

Andy (BrewBilly) + 1
Chris (Bill_00) + 1
Dave (Mr.Drankin)
Yarmot
Paddy
Myself

Which makes 8.

Have I missed anyone out? Any more takers?

Cheers,

-Barry
