The ICB ticket allocation has just arrived. These are for the Trade Day on [b:9ffhqmfc]Tuesday 4th August[/b:9ffhqmfc], starting at 12 noon.

My report on last year's is here[/url:9ffhqmfc]. It's an absolutely brilliant day out with a vast selection of simply incredible beers. I believe there'll also be a chance to taste cask versions of most of the Irish craft beers, as there was last year. You also get to see the Champion Beer of Britain being announced live.

I'll be heading over on the 11.20am Dublin to Heathrow Aer Lingus flight, and home on the 9.10pm. Earls Court is a short hop on the Tube from Heathrow.

If you'd like a free ticket, let me know here.
