I agree that it's accessible it's just awkward, at least for me...bus to town, then to Hawkins St, then shuttle. I checked out those links before I left and decided it was easier to drive instead. It'd make more sense to hold it in town.

Zero queues when I arrived around 12.30 and we had a choice of tables to sit. When I was leaving there were swarms of people arriving. Obviously the weather attracted a lot of people. Pity that the event will have been ruined for most.

Looks like there were a lot of people heading in as we left at about 1:30. I had no problem buying bottles of hophead to take away.

I must have been talking to a misinformed bar man. Pity because I enjoyed the draught and at €2.50 a bottle is probably cheaper than the off license price.

I was served the most superbly flat glass of Goods Store IPA from the Carlow people. Was really looking forward to that one. The queues were awfull, but the Hilden people did give my taste buds a good time[/code]
