Just wanted to put this out there...
Some of you may have already heard about Beer Ireland. We've been around for about a year now - the brainchild of Tim O'Rourke who has been running brewing courses, primarily in Cork. We are a networking group for those who are looking to turn their brewing hobby into a brewing business. Members include Mountain Man and Blacks Kinsale, as well as a few others to be launched later this year.
We'll be having a meetup at the RDS Saturday at 8pm near the Beoir stall. Anyone who is interested in going pro is welcome to come along and meet the group.
