I must say this made me laugh- there may be issues over articles 2 and 3 of the irish constitution but we still have Beoir Airteagal 1. How about this amendment to it though (with thanks to mr. dev)

"It is the firm will of the Irish Nation, in harmony, friendship and merriment, to unite all the people who share the territory and beer of the island of Ireland, in all the diversity of their identities and traditions and recognised BJCP styles, recognising that a united Ireland shall be brought about only by peaceful brewing means with a consent of the majority of the beer drinkers, democratically expressed, in both jurisdictions of the island...."

BJCP? There will have to be talks about talks.

Hi mates.
My name is Emilio, a member of the Italian beer consumers and home-brewers movement (formed in 2009).

I've been reading about your new consumer union, and wish all the best with your (our) mission ! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Hopefully lots of good craft beer will be flowing all over Ireland and Europe once again !

Break a "keg" ! <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

Thanks Emilio!
