TOPIC:

Only weeks away from the Easter fest. If last weekend was anything to go by this should be a great one.

We were hoping that the lads at the mills would be ready with their new brewery but was told yesterday that they wont. New brewery that will feature has ma dazza and sunbeam which is in the final stages of planning permission for a new brew pub in the city center.

Im delighted hear that their will be 3 new breweries in Cork this year and 2 more in the planning

Looking forward to it... Here's hoping there will be less beer running out. I heard Sunday was pretty dry at the cask festival. Saturday was great though. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

by the way if you have a taxsaver ticket for Irish Rail you can get a cheaper fare, it's in one of the drop-down boxes below the adult fare.

Though given the way prices are, the bus down and train back would be cheaper.
