    Can half price entrance for Beoir members only be availed of on the door? Or can I buy a discounted ticket in McHugh's (for example). Saturday tickets include two free half pints, again does this offer apply if you buy a half price ticket as a Beoir member?
    My project for the coming week is to find out the answer to those questions (other than "will McHugh's let me buy a half price ticket?": no, they won't.) Right now, I don't know how the entrance discount for members will work this year.

    Thanks

    Was thinking re. the two free half pints, in effect brings entrance fee down to €10

    if it's half price for Beoir then that's €7.50 but if there are no free half pints its in effect "only" a saving of €2.50

    Let us know when it's sorted anyhow!

    Oh and good news, Beoir have 2 pairs of tickets to give away for this. I'll be raffling one off on the Facebook page but I've checked with the mods and they've said I can give one out in this thread as well. So if you want included in the draw just mention that you're going and I'll throw everyone's name into the hat closer to the time. :)

    I'm going to it

    Does anyone know if any of the breweries are going to have a Randall?

    Blacks had one last year so I'm guessing they'll bring it along again.

    Yeah, I was hoping they might. It got a mention in the kilruddery market thread so I was hoping to sample it at the rds.

    Half price entry for Beoir members will apply to admission on the door on Thursday and Sunday only: €5 rather than €10. You must show your card at the admissions desk.

    So does that mean no half price Beoir entry on Friday and Saturday at all or there is half price entry but you have to buy it beforehand?

    Nope. I'm not even sure if weekend tickets will be available on the door. If you're thinking that way, I'd suggest buying in advance.

    Not much but it's nice to know what the prices are. Given that I'm planing on going on Friday and Sunday, if there is no weekend discount I'd probably be better off just buying a ticket on each day because that would only be €15 altogether

    It's 10e on friday and 15 on saturday so buying separately is 25e. A four day ticket is 20e.

    works out the same though, as I don't think the weekend ticket gives you the two "free" half pints on the Saturday... I could be wrong on that though.

    Think I'll miss it yet again. Never been despite winning 2(!) pairs of tickets last year. It's just a bit of an inconvenient weekend with travel and such.

    How are Dan Kellys not on that cider list?
    Le Fevre is French?
    I'm guessing Beoir didn't put that list together

    "The ICBCF Awards brought to you in association with Beoir.org"

    Some input is I suppose but possibly under direction of Make It Happen Inc.

    The savings have finally motivated me to join Beoir. So relevant to my interests.

    PM me your details and I'll check where it went.

    Probably best to discuss Beoir things on the Beoir forum rather than here, though.

    Another pair of tickets is now up for grabs on the Beoir Facebook.

    Plus a lot of the breweries and craft pubs are giving them away on there as well.
