I'll be there and almost definitely should have some of my homemade black pudding available to bring along.
First batch today turned out well and have loads more of the stuff so think I'll make more and freeze it. Do you think they would mind that being brought in..? (in a lunchbox just a taste for everyone)

It was actually awesome fun to make  :o, but unfortunately two of the 18" long!! sausages burst in the boil,
I managed to salvage most of the goods and its now being baked in a tin which am expecting/ hoping will turn out akin to Scottish traditional "square sausage". Must keep an eye on the pot more closely next time don't wanna be losing any more of those babies!!  :(
Check it out below  :)

I won't have anything new by then but I could bring in some Russian Imperial Stout (barrel aged).

@brewdiva - Bringing the black pudding is fine as long as there is enough for the kitchen and staff!!

I think she's bringing some sort of Stout cake now instead...

Hi, yeah, as I explained to Padraic the black pudding even though it looks cool and is edible ...was nice fried in sandwiches with cheese n salad etc... but its a little bit wrong, texturally and taste wise.
:P If I can bring myself to make another batch I promise to share it

Trust me you won't be disappointed the cake I am going to bring is to die for!  and there should be enough for everyone considering it doesn't get attacked by anyone here first!  :-X may have to put it in the cake (and now beer) safe

Was checking out WJ Kavanagh's food menu... mouth watering: http://www.wjkavanaghs.com

I've finished typing up a summary of the tasting but I don't have any pictures. Did any of you take any on the night? Any chance you could send them on to me?

PM to arrange!

Peter I set you up with a wordpress account this morning for the writeup. I didn't have any pictures the last time so I just used a generic open source beer/tasting stock image from here (http://www.sxc.hu/).
