Saturday 10th October BJCP tasting in Kildare

[Kellie]

Hi all

Just to confirm the tasting event is still going ahead on Saturday from 12-5pm here in Kildare

'Saturday 10th October here @maltcracker Kildare we will be having a tasting session discussion group on BJCP tasting / styles brewing and so on.

Its a great opportunity to come down for extra support from proven and experienced Brewers and Judges and perhaps a skilled Somellier will be present to help out as well.

Kellie and Myself would like to invite 2015 students to come down and enjoy a day of tasting, discussion and learning.'

So please feel free to come along, I know 2 people are coming from Dublin via Dublin Coach from D'Olier Street and I will collect from the bus stop.

Let us know if you plan to attend and maybe think of any particular style you would like us to go through on the day, if you can bring a bottle to taste. We have a good mix of styles currently here that we have brewed to taste as well.

Feck.
Are you guys organising these things to coincide with my calendar?!

[Kellie]

What do you mean? I haven't got access to your calendar lol

[johnrm]

I'm doing a talk at a local fest on Sat.

[Kellie]

Local as in Kildare or Cork? 😉

[johnrm]

Cork, like. Proper local.

[Kellie]

Brendan said hard luck! We will save you a nice bottle for when we next see you

[giacomo]

I'll definitely be there. I wouldn't come by car though, a bus from Red Cow (or the city centre) would be a much better option

[Kellie]

Great stuff, the Dublin coach leaves D'Olier street at quarter past the hour and quarter to the hour I think Ronan (Beerfly) is heading down as well as Christina. Or you can pick up the bus at the red cow direct to Kildare Village

[molc]

Yeah I hope to make it, though I'll have to head straight after as I'm already double booked for the day. That double booking will need some negotiation still though 11:15 bus from town is it?

Hi Kellie, I am keen. I can get the train from Galway and the train times suit. I only have 1 beer fermenting at the moment so I will have to bring a couple of commercial beers for goodwill. Personally I'm not very good with dry v sweet stout and body so maybe I'll bring a couple along those lines, but generally I plan on spending the day listening 

If that's OK could you PM me the address or directions from the train station/town?

Delighted to see an interest in this day, I'd say the 11.15am bus from town will be perfect timing and we will collect you all from the bus stop here in Kildare.

@ Flanagan I have just PM'd you there
