Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome last night. For a first-timer it wasn't as scary as I thought it might be.
I'll definatly go to the next one and might even be orginised.
(On saying that, I'm sure I can manage to do my own labels, thanks modfan77 <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> )

Excellent night lads, really enjoyed it! The standard of the beer was fantastic, some very memorable brews indeed. I won't forget the chili stout in a hurry, great stuff!

Thanks to everyone who was involved in the organising of last night. It was indeed a memorable night. Really enjoyed Thoms Centenial Ale, Sineads Hefe, Kitoogs American ale and the offering of the Blackhawk boys. I,ve been to bed twice today so far. I think the only cure is the bottle of Meantime Pale Ale picked up in Chapellizod this morning. Well done to all. The standard was very high I thought.

It was great to meet you all and try the wonderful concoctions. The porters were amazing, Bog Myrtle's and Joe's - and the chili stout was something else. I also learned a valuable lesson re my own offerings: a young witbier is good, but not a young stout <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
The whole experience has sent me back to my shed with renewed enthusiasm, and my family can expect not to see me til, oh, September. Can't wait for the next one.

I hate you all, even though it was entirely my own decision not to go, and the right one, but even so <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Glad everyone had a good night <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

And...um...I'm willing to offer favours for some of Fergal's Chili Stout! <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> (I'm told I give good shoulder rubs <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->) Séan and I still regularly wax lyrical about the fantastic Sour Cherry Stout from last time <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Sounds like I missed a great night, pity I couldn't go. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
