I don't think the Ogham Brew lads have a problem if you want to bring bottles instead - that's what myself and grainne are planning to do (mostly because we can't seem to get our kegged beers to carbonate properly!). I think you'd just need to be prepared to play barman a bit more in terms of pouring taster measures for folks, rather than letting them hop off a keg themselves...and to not necessarily get your bottles back at the end of the night.

One of the lads did bring bottles to the last one, but I think he did run out faster than anyone else, as a result.

Cheers Bigears there certainly is a lot involved.

Don't forget that €40 is for brewer+guest effectively €20 each.

Bighair is indeed correct. It doesn't matter if you have no keg - bottled brews are perfectly fine to bring.

Anything else I can clarify.... Keep the queries coming folks!

Just wondering are there many ICB members going to this festival? Will probably go anyway.

I Might make the trip, hopefully with a beer too.
