Franciscan Well Cask & Winter Ale Festival

[admin]

Who's going?

Just got my pass for Feb 16th

Handy as the closing date for the NHC Homebrew Competition is the 15th and the Well is a Drop Point, so we'll be able to bring all the entries back up with us.

BTW, for anyone looking for cheap, clean and fairly quiet lodgings, the Travelodge is currently showing at €35 a room for the night. Stayed there last year.

I hope to be there too.
As I live so far out on the sticks, I might be joining you in the Travelodge!

[johnrm]

You could always try bru hostel on MacCurtain St.
I stayed there the night off the office Xmas drinkies for EUR19.
Basic, but clean.
Also, it's between the Well and the train station, and dangerously close to the Abbott's Ale house...

Travelodge just bumped price to €52 per room. Anyone looking for a cheap bunk companion?

[johnrm]

they must monitor the numberof enquiries for a date and ramp up their prices accordingly.

There was an IT rumour that:

You checked a lowcost airline fare in Ireland and got a price.

When you had checked the price of the National Carrier you went back to the LCA

If it recognised your IP address from a few hours before it bumped the prices as ye' were now likely to book.

We just used to use other computers/routers/networks when we were travelling with the LCA

Lads Shiela's hostel. 4 bed dorm between 4 (if you dont like sharing with attractive young girls  : ) 15-17 euro a head (ensuite or not)

If Paddy is on the desk he'll talk beer to you all day as well

[Ciderhead]

After much deliberation and 350 for a new dress, I have now been give a visa for the week-end of the 16th.
Radison is either Little Island or up at airport, so I will have to slum it in the Gresham. Which btw is only 59 for a single or double.
Tube let me know if you and Dempse want a lift on Sat Morn.
Is this a ticket event with stupid beer tokens? didn't think so

Seeing as I'm in Cork, will I organise this for bods?
Also, is this for Friday, Saturday, or both?

If i sleep in a dorm I'm the only one who sleeps. people don't appreciate the quality of my snoring.
But I might end up in the well alright.
What's all this about passes?

[Taf]

Probably be there on the Saturday.

I can confirm both Paddys beer talk and the attractive young girls stories to be true 

I also spent time supping White Gypsy Amber at the bar in Bru while waiting for a bus after last years cask festival. The part-owner there (a kiwi I think, he insisted I have a bottle of Macs Gold on the house) was the brewer in Kinsale brewery. Seemed like a friendly place - he has a luggage shelf that people just came in and left their bags on to be minded FOC. Nice touch so near the 2 stations  8-)
