I approached a number of the breweries trying to get some experience last year (it's a prerequisite for doing the VLB brewing course). No Dice. No one was interested and only one brewery even replied. Mind you, I was only trying to get in touch via email. It might have been different if I'd tried to visit and meet them face to face. A couple of the micros have taken on Fás people (Metalman and White Gypsy, I think).

That's the attitude, why bother getting off your arse cos you'll fail anyway.
Some people have what they call drive and ambition, was Sugar born with a Amstrad up his hole.......err.. no

If you want something enough in this life then you can get it.
