TOPIC:

just spotted this on the web, if you click the festival link you will see that there is a homebrew festival coming up soon, this month to be exact. does anybody know more about this?

they kept that very quite, no one even posted anything on boards

Kind surprised there has been now contact, if you goggle Irish home brewing you get Irish craft brewer

It's a bit strange there's a homebrew competition on that nobody on here has heard about before.

another interesting thing is that there is a link to the icb website on their bebo page so they do know we exist, maybe they just choose to ignore us.

i have made contact with the organisers, sent them an e-mail and hope to hear back soon. Seems from their website that they are mainly using kits, Although the instructions may be just for beginner brewers like the kit brewing instructions in the KB here. I would love to know what styles they will be judging and whether they will be having another contest next year, if so are we all invited?. hopefully they have got my e-mail and will be able to answer these Q's and more.
