Hello, all..
I'm Mike and I'm in North Cork. I'm making the leap from kit brewing to extract brewing,so expect to have me bugging you all for tips and advice..
As far as my taste in beer goes, I lean towards porter and stout (and having lived in the UK for most of the last decade, I learned to love Samuel Smith's fine pubs and beers!)
But, in truth, I enjoy a Pilsner, IPA or Weissbier as much as the next man.
Looking forward to getting deeper into homebrewing.. and, of course, doing lots of.. ah.. "Research"

Welcome aboard, Mike!

Hi,

My name is Fred Waltman and I live in Los Angeles. My hobby is traveling around to various places and drink the local beers. I try and make it to Ireland (mostly Dublin) once a year or so. I'm making a trip in April (8-15) and am looking forward to using my new Beoir 50 cent off coupons.

I was last in Dublin in February 2013 and you folks have been busy -- lots of new places to try and lots of new beers to drink. My liver is tingling already <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Cheers,

Fred.

Good to hear from you Fred. I loved your recent pictures of Bamberg[/url:1ld8jqxx].
