Welcome to the forum. Where in Limerick are you from? Originally from Limerick myself but living in Dublin now.
Rex Banner would not approve of your name or the fact that some other user has already "borrowed" it from the Simpsons :)
Might want to think of a new name.

Shanna (no D)

Hey, I thought I was the only brewer in west limerick. Delighted to have some company. There is a small number of us that have met intermittently in the blind pig in limerick. Also if your free tomorrow Brett Dundee is holding his now annual hopsoverfest in birdhill tomorrow. Brett being a prolific grower of hops holds this event and kindly allows people to pick from his hop garden followed by a BBQ and beer tasting/supping/sharing. Unfortunately I am stuck in dublin tomorrow and cannot make it.
Chris & anyone else thinking of going up to Brettdundee in Birdhill from West Limerick area I can take up to 3 passengers in my car. I will be coming from Rockchapel, Co. Cork through Newcastle West and on for Birdhill. Get in touch by pm and we will sort something out. I hope to set off about 1.30pm or so from home.
A very kind offer but I was stuck in dublin with work.
yeah bzfeale80 nice of you to offer man, unfortunately i couldnt make it but i hope everyone had a good time.
hey chris hows the going? only two of us, hopefully more will get involved. ive been looking at the blind pig lately and just waiting for the chance to give a look inside and taste some decent beer
