Afternoon Brewers,
Every year we need to sort the bottles a week in advance of the start of the competition and this is done with the expert help of volunteers.
The date for this year's bottle sorting is Saturday 13th of Feb.
Last year we started just after 9, sorted and crated nearly 500 bottles by lunchtime.
Remember the more volunteers the quicker it goes.
Lifts are available from Dublin, if required please state if this is needed. The warehouse we sort in, is a distribution point for commercial beer premises and location details will be sent to you if needed.
The National Brewing Championships, bottle sorting and club doesn't happen without your help, so please put your name down if you are able to help that morning.

I must say, you're very considerate ensuring we're all wrapped up.
Can I suggest you bring along a couple of gallons of that oak-aged cider you're always talking about? We could heat it up with a bit of mixed spice and some Aldi brandy. It'd be a good way of using it up, like...
