Title: Galway Brewmasters

Congrats to Barry and Kevin for taking home medals.  Recipes to come soon I hope.
Key was especially modest and was last seen comparing his medal with that of the Mayor of Galway in the Apple Green on the way home  - true story!

haha... Yep I can vouch that's a true story!!
Should have got a picture! Too hungover to think of it.

I hope all the other winners were met en route by their local public representatives?!

It was nice of the mayor to meet us half way though. If the weather wasn't so bad he'd probably have organised an open top bus and some sort of a parade

I'm sure we can organise something, maybe a few laps of the city on the tourist train...

He's arranging the open top bus for the staint Patricks day parade!
To be quickly followed by a water cannon on loan from the PSNI with the water replaced by a blend of winning entries!
