Whilst there last week saw the poster - impressed by the fact that it mentions all Irish craft breweries - it would be great to see if they will all have beers representd. Unfortunately either way I won't be there!

Damn ,I really need to try and get to Dublin for this. After reading a few blogs I'm really tempted to get up there. What are the chances there'll still be some beer left by next weekend?

Also, Bog_Myrtle, do you have the full results, or was there just an overall winner?

I put the winners in this thread[/url:1hp28hz9] as it seems like the right place to put it. There were category winners as well as an overall winner.

Best Lager: Porterhouse Hersbrucker.
Best Ale: MM Bock.
Best Stout: Porterhouse Wrasslers XXXX.
Overall Winner: MM Bock.
