Re: South Dublin Beer Tasting Event (List of attendees)

[Shanna]

Hi there,

I will bring along a couple of bottles of the 38 point tog Sierra Nevada Pale Ale kit. I think I might have a bottle of the 26 point chocolate stout still in the fridge somewhere. The other was a 31 point Belgian Ambiorix kit but I have no bottles of this left over as its in a mini keg. Can't see the Black Horse allowing us to crack open a 5 litre job so I will try and bottle it a few hours before hand in a few swing tops. I also have two new brews (another Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone and a Boddingtons clone) Not sure how this will work out but lets give it a try as they are very new and I have learned that kits & extract brews benefit from bottle conditioning.

Hi Ciderhead,

Will you be attending the South Dublin meet on the 21st? If so any chance we can get a sample of your blonde beer? I was tempted to do this kit previously but never got around to it as any time I tried to order some it was always out of stock.

So we'll have all three medal winning beers from the Specialty category? Sweet!

Should do, I have my 1st place Black IPA and 2nd place Robust Raspberry Porter for the speciality category and my Saison that placed 3rd in the belgian category

Nice one Tube, that gives us a pretty decent haul for the evening I think.

In other news, Beoir are doing a tasting in the B&C on the same night!  Oh well.

The Beoir B&C meetup is every month on the 3rd Wednesday. Would there be any merit in just adding it to the calender for the next few months? A big chunk of members on here are also on Beoir so it would kinda make sense.

I'm off to Sweden on the 21st so I've to make it an early night on the 20th anyway. Been meaning to check out the Dark Horse for a while too.

[Bubbles]

Thanks for that info irish_goat. I thought the Beoir tastings were conducted on random dates. We'll know next time we're organising something.

Tube, any chance you could put the Dark Horse event in the NHC calendar? (might be a bit pointless at this late stage..)

[irish_goat]

They were switched to Wednesday's to take advantage of the €4 pints.

I did it this morning.

It's not really pointless as it goes out automatically on twitter and FB.

Excellent, cheers for that. I've just posted in the other Dublin forums too, might generate a bit more interest.

[Bubbles]

I provisionally suggested 8pm, but I'll go with whatever time suits most people.

Hi Paddy Bubbles

Will probably make it closer to 9 on the night so bed time is out of the way.  Hope this won't mean that I miss to much.  I might also try drag along one or two non home Brewers to drum up some other interest.
