11. Rukkus- Dave's Dry Stout

13. Largebottle - will bring some of my failed urquell clone which is more like leffe (first time)

The highlight for me was the overcarbed Dipa. The flavour was amazing. The nelson savion ipa was also great. Gotta love those NS hops

Great night, rukkus' stout was probably the highlight for me.

The "Smithwick's craft beer" was tasty too, tell Mr. Anonymous that his career change from website hacker to brewer was a successful one.

Loved Brian's NS pale ale.
And Dave's stout was lovely too. As was Secret.

Rukkus's stout was definitely the highlight for me, though Padraic's DIPA was superb as well. The secret IPA was nice though, from a commercial perspective, I'd question whether Ireland needs another c.5% ABV hoppy pale ale.

A lot of good beers last night- but my favourite was Brian's Full Nelson PA.
