I got asked if I could recommend a course in homebrewing, that we'll update make a good Christmas present. Are there any folks doing decent full-day intros to brewing ?
School of food in Thomastown Kilkenny. Ger Costello of Costello's brewery gives the course. Details are on their site
Treaty City Brewing are going to run a course over 4 evenings in the new year in Limerick I think.
Bru in Trim offer a days master course in brewing on one of their systems.
