Title: Pictures from an Exhibition
Post by: Will_D on December 06, 2014, 11:19:07 PM
Well OK, not an exhibition but from the NCB Christams party.

23 dedicated brewers and partners attended the now famous NCB Christmas Party.

The theme this year was dedicated to Brenmurph's 18 month old granddaughter, Kate, who has Spina Bifida.

Thanks to Bren for giving us the "Beers for Kate" and what with a raffle and a food levy we raised:

"Drum Roll Please UNA!":

Three hundred and Twenty Five LSFK's ( Little steps for Kate which on the financial markets are trading at 1 LSFK = €1

We had some great food from the 44, lots of great craft beers and then a few winter warmers were produced!

The Cráic was 90!

The raffle winners were:

The BrenMurph Accademy of excellence weekend:  Ciaran (aka: McGrath)
The Homebrew starter kit: Patrica (aka: Mrs Nigel_C) [see below 1]

Other prizes were Lager kit with LME extract, several bottles of wine, and a South African cream liquer [see below 2]

So a big thanks to all, and see you on Tuesday!

Notes:

1. Patricia said she is going to outbrew Nigel

2. Renier reliably informed me that the grog was absolutely Cr*p and would give me fiver! Hmm Nice Try. Still Welshman have been fooled by less
