I didn't enter by the way!

Hilden will be there too. Well I will be at least, I think Owen et al are double booked. Also, I believe there is a chance Headless Dog in kegs could be part of our line up.

I am SO looking foward to Hilden being there. I lived in Belfast for 4 years and The John Hewitt used to keep a ready supply of their beer. Lovely stuff and I have missed it since moving to Galway. Even Hooker doesn't quiet satisfy my thirst quite as much as Hilden did.

The brewery in the village of Hilden is a rather pleasent affair and does some nice food in their restaurant. The beer festival is great too.

Well you should be able to get the bottles in either the Oslo or the Salthouse. I know I sent some down! hopefully they're not all sold out

Damn I will be away in France.

As I will be going to this, i started looking up accommodation. Nearly every hotel booked out, salthill hotel cheapest at €85 incl brekky.
