Jaysus we have a fantastic line up of beers this month!
Some Pale ales, two fruit beers, a dobbin clone, porter, brown ale, and two stouts as well as some bitters and wits/wheats.
And to top it all off a home made baileys no less <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

My own stout will only been conditioning for a week and 5 days but after the taste on Saturday I deem it worthy for everyone else to try it.

It will be interesting to have Goeffs Strawberry ale alongside my Raspberry one. Not a lot of Raspberry to mine but you can tell its there.

It should also be interesting because the Pale ale and Raspberry ale are extract and the stout is my first All grain (two more fermenting at home).

Tried one of my Dobbin clones a couple of days ago - it has been a while since I had the real thing, but be warned I'd say mine tastes nothing like it! We'll see if another week in the bottle changes things by Thursday. Looking forward to trying those fruit beers in particular lads...

Guys, unfortunately I have to pull out. I said I would cook for the folks in return for bringing me along to Laughing Len the other night and tomorrow is the only time suits. These beers will keep till next month If I manage to hide some from myself.

Fair enough Richie, but it didn't mean you had to knock charmon/dublinbarista off. And since he has decided to add me to the list again, I reckon I'll have to go along now.

You need to get your priorities right. Beer tasting or pub quiz...
