Due diligence first: is anyone aware of any sporting or other televised spectacle that may raise the value of pub real estate next Wednesday beyond what we're likely to spend while sitting in it?

Secondly, for audit purposes and because ICB is an equal opportunities humiliator, I propose attendees divide into two shifts: one which gets the drinks in and arranges them, while the other -- elsewhere on the premises -- does the test. Then swap roles. Answers to be written in secret and results to be revealed and collated only after both teams have completed tasting and have a proper drink in front of them (they do pint bottles of Guinness in O'Neill's, and nitro O'Hara's, of course).

<!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> good idea


I was forced to do this down in cork a little while ago and was surprised to find i could detect a difference between Beamish and Murphy's

The triangle test would be best for sensory evaluation, but the combination might get a bit cumbersome?

well were not trying to see if you can tell the difference between two stouts. Serve two the same and one different and see if you can spot the odd man out (I presume this is the triangle test). We are checking if you can name that beer. It does not even matter what you use to name it (serving temperature, head colour etc) just see if you can.
