TOPIC:

Given there are folks who will have decent beer to bring but no room at the table, I will do the honourable thing and drop to Observer status. Nothing to do with the RTE cameras, honest. We figured out why our wheat beer was so bad, so no point wasting your time and expertise when there is a big turnout on the cards.

Hope I managed to update the most recent list.

Workers:
1. noby (stout, a.n.other)
2. mysterious stranger (ditto)
3. Hombre Lúpulo (coffee stout)
4. grainne (nog)
5. Westbrew (lager, light ale)
6. Sbillings (TBC)
7. TheSolutionTo (poison)
8. Richiehamilton (Altbier, London Ale)
9. bigears (BadAss Brown)

Observer Status
1. Kenmc
2. Ramfan
3. Session
4. TheBeerNut
5. n1mbus
6. microgirl
7. 9BeanRow
8. bighair

Cheers, bighair

Grand so. Is Grainne staying in?

Bog_Myrtle: want to move up to the working table?

TV people seem to love female brewers. It's, like, [i:5tjbjb42]radical[/i:5tjbjb42], what with the way beer is only for men. Bloke down the pub said so.

Beer will be properly carbonated this time I hope.

Everyone knows women don't even like beer so how could they possibly brew it? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Yep, Grainne will stay in - we'll taste the Nog again early next week and see how successfully we can get some into bottles.

Slight tweak: TBC has become Brown Porter.

Considering the success of the last televised event, i would encourage as much support as possible for thursdays "taste off", in the name off gathering support and promoting the brewing of quality beer.

How about as many homebrews as possible displayed somewere about the beerhall, suggesting that homebrew is all about multiple style production as opposed to "Recession Busting" s**t.I would hate to see the homebrew brigade regarded this way.

With regards to seating availability, i will put as much as possible aside for the ICB members.

So get your dodgy t-shirts into the wash now!
