A quick blurb about this year's BrewCon:

BrewCon 2018
(http://www.nhcconference.com/assets/images/logo-2r.png)

It's that time of year again, booking your day out to improve your brewing knowledge and making better beer.

Following on from previous years, this year's theme will focus on improving your brewing knowledge and developing your brewing skills.

This year's BrewCon 2018's keynote speaker, will be well known to you all as one of the fathers of the modern IPA:
Mitch Steele, now with his own New Realm Brewing Company, (formally of Stone Brewing)

Other guests speakers include:
Fergus Fitzgerald, head brewer of Adnams Southwold
Dave Carpenter, editor-in-cheif of Zymurgy magazine, the journal of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA)
Rich Kilcullen, BrewDog
with a few others to be announced shortly ...

Your ticket includes food and drink at lunchtime and entry later to the Club Night in the food hall after the last talk where you will have the opportunity to have one on one discussions with any of the speakers.

The BrewCon Swag Bag is back again stuffed with loads of goodies, along with a unique BrewCon 2018 t-Shirt (€10, add it to your order after you've chosen your ticket)

This year there will also be an Extra Club Night Ticket priced at €20, to admit one extra person to attend the Club Night tasting - it is limited to one per ticket.

AND, if all that still weren't enough, you can also add to you order a signed copy of Lager: The Definitive Guide to Tasting and Brewing the World's Most Popular Beer Styles  (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34220061-lager) by Dave Carpenter - for only €18


More info on the BrewCon 2018 website (http://www.nhcconference.com/)

* plus EventBrite fees (€70.59)

Hi,

I'm a full member, but have no idea what the promotional code is.  Can someone message it to me.  Would like to sign up for BrewCon asap before it's fully booked.

Thanks,
Sok

Hi All,

With just over 8 weeks to go, we're making a big push to get the remaining tickets sold for this year's BrewCon event.

Remember: this event is designed to appeal to beginner and advanced brewers alike. Even if you, or someone you know, is thinking about taking up homebrewing for the first time, what better way to get the ball rolling than be gaining some invaluable tips and knowledge from the horses' mouths;  from our guest speakers and from fellow homebrewers.

The post-conference club nights have already attained legendary status. The beer will be flowing and the only background noise will be the buzz of homebrewers from all round the country, from the full spectrum of skill levels having the crack and sharing tips and insights with each other. Make new friends, meet old friends but, most importantly, kick back and have a laugh.

So spread the word to your fellow club members, friends, cousins, aunties, parish priest, anyone you think would be interested in attending this excellent event!


Cheers,

-Barry

I received a couple of mails yesterday with the title 'Note to All NHC Members - BrewCon 2018 - Reinvent the Classics' but both of them were blank. Did we miss anything?
Title: Re: BrewCon 2018
Post by: Bazza on April 18, 2018, 03:22:23 PM
Yeah. That was a newsletter mail out to all members reminding them about BrewCon. Seems a lot of the recipients got blank emails. A 'feature' of the forum's newsletter engine it would seem.

Apologies to all of you who received blank emails, but the sentiment is more or less please try and make every effort to attend BrewCon, and try to encourage any brewing friends to do the same. We need your help to make this, a success and future events still viable.

Cheers,

-Barry

Hi All,

Just to let you know, this Sunday (22nd April) is the last day on which you can purchase a BrewCon t-shirt with your ticket.

Cheers,

Hi folks,

Just to remind all:

Access to the Club Night is by pre-purchased ticket only - there will be no tickets available on the day.

Remember: No Nametag = No Entry & people will be asked to leave if they try to gain access without a ticket.

An Additional Club Night ticket is now available, but only to an existing full ticket holder. However it must be booked & paid for by original guest, after which I will get the name of their guest for the tag. The original ticket holder needs to contact us/PM us to get the code. Cost is €22.14 inc fees.


Cheers,

-Barry

Best Brewcon so far. Every speaker was engaging. No post lunch slump. Beers were flowing throughout. Club beers were great. Only complaint is that pizzas arrived just as I was leaving!

Yet another great BrewCon. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, hopefully learned a thing or two, got to try some amazing beers and rub shoulders with some of the best in the business. What's not to like :).

Thanks to all who work so hard in putting it all together.

My thoughts exactly, this was my first BrewCon (I'm the tall tattooed Frenchman) and totally enjoyed the day! I will be following up with a few people on these forums after our discussions yesterday. Glad to have met you all!

I had to leave early on Saturday but have to say the talks this year were very good. I got alot more information out of it than I thought I would. Well done to the organisers for their hard work in putting it all together.
