Someone mentioned on our May meet that they did an away trip last year and it was good fun and worth doing again (I can't remember who mentioned it).
An option for this might be travelling down either / both of these 2 events in Franciscan well in June... Friday June 21st is Mountain man Brewing launch ... and the following day there is the homebrew expo.
That would have been Brett Dundee.
They trekked to Cork for one of the Fran Well gigs a year or so ago.
Doubt I'll be able to make it that weekend, but that does sound like a great way to spend the weekend.
I had my first taste of Shandon Stout last weekend, so will be very jealous of you all.
I won't know until closer to the time. It will depend on work, hard to get leave at this time of year. If possible ill be there.
