No work the following morning either!!! ;D 8)
colin have u tasted ur lime wheat yet? happy with progress?
Yep, turned out great Bren. Really happy with it & it's going down a treat!! ;)
Quick question if thats ok?
After joining this forum I got real excited bout the Lucan County & the other day took the missus her sister & sisters other half up. One pint & we left, whats the draw to there? It doesnt have a particularly large selection of Micros. Just curious & not knocking the place.
Price for one thing.
Did you go in to the bar on the right hand side? That's the one with the better beer.
There is also a good bottle selection at very low prices.
Ah, knew there must be something :) We went to the left, 50/50 always seems more like 80/20 to the wrong decision LOL.
Must try make a meet & check it out properly so
I did like the feel of the left side, proper no frills auld lads bar, never checked out the lounge. Will give it another shot if nothing else its an excuse for a beer or two.
Well said Tube 8)

There's another bar in the basement of the bar (i.e. the left) but it doesn't really get used. There is a pool table and dart board etc down there and I've kind of played with the idea of having the meets with a pool table in the room. But given that delzep isn't happy about our meandering nature already I think we'd better leave the pool table for when he isn't there!
Sounds like a great place we could use on a night without any HB with us. :)
I thought we went there for the mots?

I remember some Irish Teacher in school telling us that when we Dub,s referred to our girlfriends as "me mot" we were using slang Irish which came from "mo cailín maith", my good girl. But then again he was a culchie. :D

I did wonder where that came from.
Lads, is this the one where we are having a little homebrew competition? (http://nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,1026.0.html)
If so I have one bottle of stout I can bring along and see how it is. This is the bottle conditioned version, not sure any of you have had it.

Right so.... Lads, we are doing the little competition this month.
€2 entry, one prize winning winner, winner takes the pot.
It's not mandatory of course but anyone bringing beer might as well enter. That means, if you have beer we have already tasted at some point, if you think it's good enough, bring it for the competition.
Now to see if I can rope someone from Capital Brewers to come along for impartial judging.
Or we can do it ourselves, perhaps everyone chips in with the judging, minus your own beer.
We can be informal about it. No need to worry about judges knowing who's beer it is.
What do people think regarding the judging?
Was there any restrictions agreed on? I might drop a brew over as I won't be there on the night
No restrictions were agreed upon, though if you are not here.... how can you take the pot if you win? ;)
Ah I thought this was for the September thing.
Drop off beer. I'm sure if you win, some honest person will hang on to it for you.
ah sure 2 euros wont break the bank.| ill throw one in for the craic :P
Sure why not!
Drinks are on the winner of course....
But of course :)
so the bar wins ;D
Ok. Well it's going to be fantastic to be able to enjoy a great tasting session with my fellow brewers. Im going to be there from the start to the finish. Last man standing!

8. Dodge - Oud Bruin from the NHC competion.
- Pliney the Elder clone
- Chocolate milk stout on Nitro
- Russian imperial stout
- hopefully my Flanders red
I know it may be a fair amount to bring but since I may only be able to attend only a few sessions why not.
If you want me to help chair this let me know. I could easily screw it up and it would be a laugh! That's not intentionally! ;D
FFS change of plans, all drinks on dodge.
Nice one! Worth 2 euro a pop to be there.
Baby has finally landed so should get the all clear from the control tower to make it down.. I have a pineapple wheat beer that didn't really work out and hopefully my kolch and blonde will be ready by next week
Pineapple wheat beer? You'll be giving Metalman ideas for the next Chameleon beer.
Thanks Shane.. The pineapple wheat is a specialty beer made by San tan brewery in arizona.. I'm trying to clone it without much success.. The pineapple putting the og through the roof.. This batch turned out around the 8% mark
How much of each beer will we need to bring along?
Yes, mini competition is on, though I only have 1 bottle.
Regarding score sheets. Perhaps anyone who wants to enter beer brings scoresheets?
To save one person printing off loads. Unless someone has access to a big printer and toner is not a problem.
To summarise
Is that 15 beers? So 8 members attending from what I can see.
Every beer entered will need 7 score sheets and €2 for the pot, unless anyone wants to abstain from scoring and just enjoy the beer?
I've indicated myself as a judge. You don't judge your own beer. Everyone will know whose beer it is, it's informal after all.

Brilliant night. Dodge's beers were awesome.
I was a little worse off than usual this morning, probably due to my dinner consisting of the crackers padraic brought. Very much appreciated.

You've eaten your share for tomorrows tasting now! :) I don't think the budget has room for another €0.39 pack of crackers!
I had a fab time last night! Great banter indeed.
Thanks for the comments ;D
Enjoying the midnight sun I scored last night. Delicious :-)
Did anyone find 2 envelopes left behind on the night.
Packed full of unmarked, non-sequential bills?????

Is Mise did. I was just onto him. Is there one for Snuff & Delzep? He said he'ss post Snuff's one & drop Delzep's one into him.
Jasus your a star,for the life of me I could not remember what I did with them. :)
Great, I thought I might have eaten them I was so hungry.
