Title: February gig - Saturday 9th @ 2pm
Post by: admin on January 18, 2013, 09:39:11 AM
Several people last night mentioned having the next meet before the competition, and on a Saturday. So here ya go! This'll be an opportunity to get your competition beers appraised before the closing date for submission!

If you want to move it forward or backwards in the day, now is the time to shout, otherwise it's 2pm.

No reason I will not be able to make this one!!! My brother in law has started to brew wine but is finding it hard to find a club like NHC. Anyone mind if I bring him along??? He will have homemade white wine obviously.

I am always interested in what the home brew wines would taste like as I would love to try brewing some for the missus  :D also cut back on those 10 euro bottles ;)

I'm going to have to bow out of this - the missus booked a weekend away for that weekend.  :(

Andbody fancy bringing a couple of mine & Is Mise's beers along to help us categorise them for the competition?

That was my plan yes. It sounds like the perfect time to drop off my beer too.

Have a good one

If you are heading to T2, you can have some porterhouse beers in the harvest cafe.

QuoteI'll let you know if I'm driving. I probably will, but if not I'll get the 66A from Confey. It doesn't sync with the train at all (as you would expect, this is Ireland) hence you'll get better service from the 66.

I came up with a better solution. I can walk to Blanch shopping centre and get the 239 to Lucan and then just walk to the county from there. Timetable is not the best for that route but there is one at 12:30 and 1:30 on Saturday so the 1:30 is probably the best one. Should get me there about 2 and then a little walk.

Will pretty much any 66/67 do the trick or are there ones I should avoid because they go around the world?

Or are there different busses that are better?
Title: Re: February gig - Saturday 9th @ 2pm
Post by: DEMPSEY on February 09, 2013, 01:20:34 PM
yes all 66's and 67's will stop out side the LC

Post by: Partridge9 on February 11, 2013, 03:15:41 PM
Really enjoyed it - great gig

I got talking to someone about and RO system - really interested - I think it was BenMurph - Any chance you could post where you got that ?

Also talking to a lad about Dunkels - and what was the missing ingredient  - its CaraMunich !

I bought some Carafra Special II and Cara-munich - will give that a go with some WLP300

Good Stuff

was a great meet and the quality of the beers just gets better.
enjoyed the ipa from stitch, the first beer of the day from bren and one of tube's beers were all great but the beer of the day for me was the stout for Saruman.
