Since it's now 2009, I thought I'd throw in a reminder about this, especially since we've had a few newcomers since the original announcement.
There are still quite a few weeks to go before the voting deadline of March 31st, but you might want to start thinking about the Irish beers you've enjoyed most over the last year, and chasing any that you've been meaning to try.
The rules of the competition -- open to all ICB members, the more the better -- are in the first post of this thread, as is a list of all beers eligible for an award. If anyone would like their own copy of the list in spreadsheet format, let me know.
That's all for now -- I'll send out another reminder closer to the time.
