On TG4 tonight, 20:00 Bia's Bothar
Travel series. Eamonn O Cathain is in Carlow to find out how beer is made, before examining the popularity of the whiskey-based 'Hot Irishman' drink.

A trip to the Carlow brewing company maybe?

I hope it's subtitled. Although I have a feeling it probably coincides with one of SWMBOs soap operas... <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

The funny thing is that my other half rang me to tell me she spotted this in the TV guide. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

And someone else's wife phones this morning to say a demijohn exploded[/url:10j3e238]. With all these phone calls from women about brewing it's a wonder yiz get any work done at all...

Possibly... But with the good women looking after the beer and beer-related research, we're more efficent worker bees <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

I like to think that as my other half is German it's in her genes, but I know it's not true as she's not really a big beer drinker (and I have yet to make a Pils or "Export" that she would like to drink! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->)

Anybody see it? It turns out that the Irish for "fermentation tank" is "fermentation tank."

I'm surprised Carlow have the relatively high profile they do with only six people on the payroll.
