TOPIC:

im going to give a talk and tasting session on irish craft beer in work to craft beer newbees (nearly all women as well if that even makes a different as they wouldnt even be lager drinkers).
Im thinking with going with the following beers
Red-Bru rua
Stout-blackrock
Pale ale-o haras
Ale-independent
Cider-stonewell
Galway bay- dipa
Pils-hersbruker

I wanted talk in general about the irish scene and pick different breweries and different style of beers. If anyone has any recommendations about what i should try to focus on or any different beers to give out. If anyone has any interesting facts or slides etc they want to share with me please do. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I tend to focus on the ingredients as it gives a good story. Why is this one black, why is this one fruity: the whole mechanics of why a beer looks and tastes like it does. Wee buns for anyone who has ever brewed a beer <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

yeah i wanted to stay away from the whole history thing and focus on the differences.
