I now maaaay not make it, as I don't finish work until 6pm and have to go out to Phibsboro later to pick some stuff up from a friend (requiring a car) and I'm exhausted. So we shall see. If I am there it'll be late enough.

I cant make this, to many stags an wedding this month!

Can't make it either forgot i'm going to london.

Well you missed a treat. The highlight for me was Poc's Wendy Ale, an English-style pale ale with some lovely bitter orange notes and cask-level carbonation. A couple of great stouts as well, Bog Myrtle's Ferren Gate was simple but top notch, kinda like O'Hara's, while Irish Party Ale's Black Bull mocha stout was loaded with sweet chocolate flavour, a bit like Young's Ordinary, I thought. We determined that his Irish Potent Aphrodisiac had a smell of burning credit cards, caused by either the ongoing financial crisis [i:23d8aaf4]or[/i:23d8aaf4] a wild yeast infection.

Thanks for the beer, everyone. And thanks to everyone who didn't show up, meaning I could take home a bottle of Bog Myrtle's superb Bavarian Weiss.

I think its Lightning Bolt ale you got. Thanks to everyone who brought beer. And thanks for all the edumacational info on beer from everyone.

This year its coffee stout (and Eds was a great one). Whats next years trendy homebrew?
