Hi there,
Just wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself.
I am currently living in Glasgow (originally from Ballycastle) and have been brewing for around 5 years. First became aware of the National Homebrew Club when I got persuaded by Chris (sub82) to enter the 2013 homebrew competition in Dublin.
It's great to see such a class scene going on in Ireland. Unfortunately there isn't anything like this in Scotland at the minute. There's a FB group 'Glasgow Homebrewers' which has been going for a bit and is just starting to grow legs so I thought that this would be a good opportunity to try and get a bit of advice and forge some links.
Also we were hoping to try and get a BJCP competition up and running in the next few years and would appreciate any advice on getting a lend of some judges and getting some home grown judges on the go here too.
Any help would be great! Thanks
Chris Lewis
Cheers Shane. I'll get on that!
Nice one Chris! :)
Did I hear someone looking for judges?! ;D Any excuse for a trip to Scotland.
And welcome to the forum.
Thanks Tom! Probably be a while off yet but I'll keep you in mind. Cheers!

Hi Chris, good to see you again! Simplest advice is register a domain and start a forum. Build it and they will come!
AFAIAC: Why not start a local group on the NHC?
Ok its Scotland but why not?
Get a few people together, join the NHC post a bit, and then the mods can create a local group for chats and the like.
Group buys and logistics may become interesting but why not use the NHC as a kick starter for an internet group?
Group buys prove logistically challenging getting into Donegal!
Think we're gonna head down the domaine+forum route. Cheers for the help and will post up details once it's up and running.
Cheers!
Nationalhomebrewclub.com/weebonny could be arranged I'm sure.
