Hi All,

I am a long time wine enthusiast and fairly recent craft beer enthusiast. I have two off licences one in Santry (Next Door Swiss Cottage) & one in Kimmage (Next Door Kimmage - Opposite Superquinn). I find myself now with the same thirst for knowledge (no pun etc) for great beer as I had for quality wine over 15 years ago.

I am expanding the range of quality beers in both of my shops as rapidly as possible and in the Kimmage store I have just built a purpose tasting room for both craft beer and wine tasting nights.

I have also started <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="www.thebeerclub.ie">www.thebeerclub.ie to sell great beer online. I hope to meet some of you at club events soon, we hope to have our first beer tasting later this month. I will post details here once I have finalised things.

Cheers

Hi Stephen, great to hear from you. I'm a short hop from the Kimmage shop so will definitely be keeping an eye out for the tastings. Keep us posted.

I think that we will be kicking off with a Brew Dog tasting in a couple of weeks. I met Damien Walsh in the shop yesterday and he said that you lived nearby which is great. I would love to catch up with you at some stage to get your thoughts on the range and ideas for the club, let me know if you are in the area and I will make sure that I am there, you can get me on <!-- e --><a href="This email address is being protected from spambots.

Will do.

I'm just having a look through the site and it looks nice and polished! I look forward to visiting one of your shops at some stage especially for some beer tasting and to pick up the Maredsous sampler pack with the glass!

Do keep us informed.

Thanks a mill! The Maredsous pack is actually selling really well, make sure to ask for me (Stephen) if you are in either store and I will show you the tasting room etc, I will be posting tasting timetable on the clubs blog <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="www.hopstarsblog.com">www.hopstarsblog.com Thanks again!
