I'm organising a Beer festival for Peter Curtain of the Burren Brewey in Lisdoonvarna for the August Bank Holiday weekend , and there's been some good interest from the First Few Breweries I've invited ,
Shane from the Franciscan Well is giving me a hand to make sure the Logistics are good, So I'll be in good hands for my first ever festival .
There'll be music all weekend and I'm Sure Peter will have a few tricks up his sleeve to make it a memorable festival !.
There's a good deal of accommodation in Lisdoonvarna , but the August BH is a popular time so start thinking about Booking rooms now ( I've mine booked already at the Burren Hostel , which is a short stumble from the Bar ) http://www.sleepzone.ie/About_Sleepzone__The_Burren/Default.95.html
The Lee Valley Homebrew club is making the trip this year to Lisdoonvarna their official annual outing , so I'm really looking forward to it in any case .
Hope to see a good few of ye there !!
Any questions I'll do my best to answer !!
Couple of more brewers on board after the Franciscan Well Easter fest
Should have 8 degrees Dungarvan brewery chorca dhuibhne ballyvourney Donegal brewing. Metal man and hopefully white gypsy as well as the Franciscan represented. Trouble Brewing interested as well.
Looking forward to this now big time.!!!
Are you going to have a home brew stand?

It's not something I've discussed with the Brewer down there . I might float it to him .
Of Course the Brew It Yourself Expo is being Hosted this Year in the Franciscan Well , By the Lee Valley Homebrew Club . ( 22nd June )
That'll be a Brewing Demo , Homebrew Samples and a Homebrew supplies stand .
( I don't want to split myself into too many pieces I'm brewing the Demo there )
Bumping this
I really Hope some people can make it along to this , It's looking like it'll be a fun festival , with music lined up and all .
Come see me while your down and I'll look after ye !!

The joys of 3 kids.
It's nice and sunny with usual Atlantic breeze to prevent overheating. :)
A doubting Thomas! Here you go then. Having a glass of lidl-e-ider in the van before venturing out again.
