Liffey Brewers -- the biggest brewer of sours in Ireland

[admin]

That's what the cup was really for I reckon.

Just thinking about it this evening. As an organisation we've almost half a tonne of sour fermenting, with another several tonnes planned. This probably makes us the most prolific sour brewers in the land?

Is that Oud Bruin gonna have fruit additions in bulk? Blackberries would be the bollox.

That dude on Beoir never did come through with the first Irish blackberry lambic...

Galway brewers have a 200l barrel on the go.  In other news I'm finally brewing my Framboise with GBB this Friday. We'll be bringing that cup to the wesht soon

If you are thinking of the same person I am, it was only a blend. I bought the lambic from Belgium and was going to barrel age it with fruit.
Last I heard he fecked off to Argentina or some other country.

I dunno Reuben, it was a few years back, he was wanting to make a lambic and then barrel age with blackberries and he had asked a load of us on Beoir if we wanted some when he was ready, but it never materialised, I can't remember his name now.

You probably are right on the details...I think they'd brewed the lambic in Belgium if I remember correctly.....

Were Galway Bay not supposed to brew a lambic that won their homebrew comp?

[irish_goat]

D'oh.

Where are the barrels sourced from?

I'd be into owning my own barrel, a week off and a few brews would fill one....on my scale anyway.

The barrel fairy brings them.

No really.....is it sekkrit or wha?

I thought they bought it from Girardin if memory serves.

Ah, yeah trapissed was the one. He got the stuff in and I tasted early versions of it but the business side never happened and he emigrated I believe. Mates must have drank all the lambic!

yeah, yeah, Trapissed, that's the one. I only get the funny side of that name now.....

It's a pity that never happened.

I mentioned this (the Liffey brew) to the missus and she asked where / when she could buy some...
