There has been a printed menu the last 2 years (glossy A4 folded); last years one listed something like 20 or more casks (from 8 Degrees, UCC, Dungarvan, Carlow, Metalman, Barrelhead, Trouble, White Gypsy, Messrs, Tig Bhric and Franciscan Well). But you're right in saying that some of these could be gone by Saturday <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: -->

Another piece of advice; dress warmly - depending on the weather it can be cold, although there is a large(ish) covered area with heaters available.

I have vague memories of them keeping kegs back at a few of the Fran Well festivals (not the disaster of one that had about four beers last Autumn though.)

I think it was partly a decision to keep a few of the interesting ones available, so some beers would be put on Friday until they ran out, some Saturday and some Sunday. And part of it was that there was simply not enough equipment about.

Keep an eye out in the Abbots and Bierhaus as well. They usually have at least one cask on in the week leading up, and get a few for the few weeks after as well.

Damn, I missed the 25% off code.

A ticket for 2 is abut €90 but driving down and staying in a hotel can work out as cheap if not cheaper. <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->
