Title: Drop point?
Post by: sub82 on January 23, 2013, 03:03:31 PM
Will there be a Belfast-ish drop point for the competition?

I could ring the Vineyard on the Ormeau Road? They're always interested in homebrews.

If not we could always drive to Dundalk...

Grand! I need to ring back in the morning.

Would there be many, apart from matthew and myself, who would use this drop point? Might be good to give them an idea of numbers?

hi guys

had been discussing this with John. Am happy to hold onto peoples brews until he can come collect them off me.  I work at Queens during the day and live close to finaghy cross roads if someone wanted to meet up there

also, if ur dropping some beer off, i'd be happy to do a sneaky swap between the 2 of us. for quality control purposes, obviously...

Apologies guys missed this discussion
An official drop point in the North would be fantastic, Matthew if they refuse if you can still facilitate us that is great too,
I will pm you both later with how we sold it to the offies down here.
Thanks

hi there

unfortunately I dont think mine will be ready in time. With the newborn and a trip to states next wk, my beers are a couple of weeks behind where I had hoped and only carbonating now :-(

Last time I was in vineyard, maybe two wks ago, there had been no other dropoffs.

If you want, I can call them and see and perhaps save you a trip?

I pmd you and sub
