TOPIC:

Finally have an all-grain brew that I'm willing to offer up for judgement, so I'm gonna drop in and say hello to everyone! Also my brewing partner Jonathan is gonna come along, assuming this operates on a "more the merrier" kinda principle.

6 emmetg
7. Pod_021 ( over hopped common as muck & spiced pumpkin ale )
8. Andrew (Willie Warmer autumn ale)
9. Norrebro (Rogue Yeast Ale again)
10. muirgheasa aka Diarmuid (beer which I'm going to refer to as a bitter)
11. Jonathan (also taking partial credit for afore mentioned bitter)


(I presume the ICB table will be pretty easy to pick out when I arrive? Is there some particular spot in the beerhall that you tend to congregate, or should I just lurk at the bar until I hear someone pontificating loudly about hop varieties?)

Absolutely.

"muirgheasa":3qghuejl wrote: Is there some particular spot in the beerhall that you tend to congregate[/quote:3qghuejl]It's almost always the table in the far corner from the bar, by the front window, sometimes spilling into the one next to it. And some kind early arriver may have already asked the bar staff for a couple of empty steins, a couple of jugs of water and some empty klein glass, so if you see them it's the ICB table.

Did ICB not go the way of the Cel tick Tiger,are we not the soldiers of Beoir at a cumann meet.

Irish Craft Brewer is the amateur brewing part of Beoir.

It even has its own forum:
