Hi
New member from Limerick, four of us are involved in a beer club, hence the name.
I am a member of Beoir wher I post as CDow and a rep in the Mid West. Looking forward to learning plenty about the home brew scene.
Will be back with plenty of questions.

Your more than welcome Limerick needs as many new members as possible to catch up with Cork cause ye can't have them having all the lime light :)

Hey HCC/CDow,
Welcome to the darkside ;-)
Loads of stuff here for you to peruse, ask questions if you're stuck.
There's a few lads in the Limerick area, but there have been no Homebrew meets that I'm aware of.
I tried one a few years ago, but no-one showed.
Hopefully this will change, it's a shame that a city the size of Limerick does not have a Homebrew club.

Welcome HalfCutClub! It would be great to have an active Homebrewing scene in Limerick so the more the merrier.

Look for a friendly pub doing craft beers and ask him if you could have your meetups there. Explain how it works in that you bring samples for tastings and you also buy beer from him. Pick a quiet week night and check how easy it is to get to the pub via transport :)

Hi there. Great to see more interest in a meetup. Any excuse for a few craft beers in the Blind pig is a good one!
I created a twitter account (@LimerickBrewers) last year to notify followers of upcoming meetups like this because I don't login to NHC often enough and usually rely on Johnrm in Cork to pm me if something is happnin in Limerick (Thanks again Johnrm). I've just now tweeted link to this blog to the masses.
I'll try and get there, but not sure as I'm in the middle of a busy week.

Hi Chris,
It was just the two of us, BavarianGal & I, so it was quiet enough but hopefully there will be a few more next time. On the positive side, we got to try 200 Fathoms from the Galway Bay Brewery for the first time - what a drink :)
