[LiamTutty]

I'll be in Galway over the weekend and staying in Salthill...will definitely drop in for a pint or two. What would be the best time do ye reckon? Lunchtime or 2o'clock-ish?

[St. Fursey]

The judging should be finished by 4pm.   We'll be hanging around after for pints and shite talk

There is nothing more enjoyable as a few pints and some quality shite talk.

A quick note on the biggest homebrew competition this side of the water...

As last year we are going to run the competition over 2 days in 2 locations. The first leg will be in Galway with the Galway homebrewers hosting. The second day will take place in Dublin. Venues are tba. Again, entry numbers will be limit and entry fee will be similar to last year with a member discount.

Dates for your diary -
Feb 21 - Galway
March  7 - Dublin
Bottle collection cutoff - approx Feb  7th tbc.

Details-
As last year (with full details available on the competition website that is currently being updated and to be launched again in the next month or so).
2 x 500ml bottles  power entry, as last year - the 330ml did not work for us last year at all.

We had a great contribution last year from stewards and judges and we will need it again to make next year a success. If you want to get involved keep an eye out on the forum for ways to do so or contact me directly.

A couple of tweets throughout the day would be great. Not just results but how things are going throughout the day.

Good luck to all.
