That's us mostly set up. Shouldn't be any trouble getting in after about 10, I think the grounds will be open anyway.

Among the beers there'll be both of Carlow's cask pale ales, The Porterhouse have Hop Head bottled (for takeaway) and a new-recipe cask Plain. Hooker have Dark Wheat and there's Belfast Black, bottled and draught, from Whitewater. The beer from Beoir Chorca Duibhne is called Cúl Dorcha, and is on cask too.

It's going to be a good weekend <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Yes that bottle screamed Brewdog at me when I saw the thumbnail in the post.

I have a standard pale ale brew to which I added some crushed cardamom pods during the boil. I've just sampled a bottle and it's turned out quite nice (in my opinion of course). I'd be happy to donate twelve 500 mL bottles to the ICB stand at Farmleigh for sampling. Not much, but I guess it might contribute to the overall volume. I could drop them over early tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

Let me know.

Yes, please, CB. We're a bit short on beer for Sunday's tasting. And don't worry: your donation will be subjected to rigorous quality control before we let the public near it <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

I might be able to bring up a corny keg (saison) tomorrow, depending on the logistic of also transporting a baby! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Unfortunately the hop head can't be taken away. Oharas selling a 4 pack for €5 which is a bargain .
