I have a couple of beers entered, not expecting much, but thinking of heading down for the craic.[/quote:2qr4e02c]

Judging kicks off around 10.30am and we'll have an area set aside for it. Depending on how many beers each judging table has they normally finish up between 2pm and 5pm, with the prizes announced just after. There's normally a good crowd of NHC and Beoir members who show up for the afternoon, as well as some brewers etc. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the NHC Facebook page to see how judging is going and maybe aim to arrive around 4pm if you want to see the medals being handed out. It's normally good craic after then as everyone sticks around for pints.
