Can't make it either, I guess I'll just have to wait a while to try the Alt...

i'll try and make it if i can get out of work

Right. I finally have all my ducks in a row. Partridge and I will be there.

I'm not sure if are down on the list as IishCraftBrewer or if we are under my name, but if you show up before me, try telling them your with ICB. If that doesn't ring any bells tell them that Fiona told Séan Billings you could come.

microgirl: I see no problem with your dad coming along. Tell him to pretend he's a beer geek, if anyone asks.

The wedding gods are conspiring against me. I can't make it tonight after all. Bah!

Any word or observations on the launch last night? Unfortunately, I only came upon the invite from Séan this morning. Damn work!

It was really good. They've a hell of a line-up for the festival including Weinstephaner Hefe, Vitus and Festbier on draught. Their Alt is brilliant as well: crisp and tart but with a great rich malty thing going on too.
