I love it, you won't want to share it, keep it to yourself.

Has anyone any tips? I've tasted most of the English beers available in Ireland, so what should I not miss that I won't be able to get here?
Anything else I need to know?[/quote:146ndgaf]
Hi Scothbheoir.
I can tell you from previous experience (16 years attending - don't know if that's something to be proud of or ashamed of <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> ) but if you're not going to be there until the Saturday you won't have a massive choice anyway. Most, if not all, of the Americans will be gone by then, and probably 85% of the British stuff too. Best bets for a drink by the afternoon is usually from the German bar.

Foreign breweries don't exhibit at the GBBF. The Dogfish Head beers at the BSF bar will be bottled Indian Brown Ale, 90 Minute IPA and Palo Santo Marron (which also looks very interesting).[/quote:1jo9v3ax]
Actually TBN, I'm just looking at the beer program and the Dogfish Head 90Minute IPA and Palo Santo Marron are on draught while the Brown is indeed in bottle.
