We'll have some equipment to display, and plenty of beer for free sampling, and TheHomebrewCompany.ie will be there, hopefully with gear for sale. Everyone (over 18, obviously) is welcome.

And if you've already done a brew or two and want to improve on the results, there'll be plenty of experienced brewers there to advise you.

Excellent!

I've made a couple of brews from kits and am thinking about stepping up my game a bit. Do you guys have a facebook group?

No, just our own website, plus the Homebrew How-to thread here on Boards.

There's a great article on extract brewing, the next step after kits, here.

I was just thinking "I wish that was in Dublni" when I remembered I'll be in Cork that day for an Aussie rules match. Excellent, I'll be there

A cheeky bump for this one, lest anyone interested be making Cork-centred plans for the weekend.

I can confirm that the TheHomeBrewCompany.ie will be selling gear and ingredients on the day.

reminder this event is on this saturday the 18th...should be a good day for anyone who appreciates good beer or wants to get into brewing / anyone who wants some advice or tips on how to improve your brews.....there must be lots of people out there who are brewing away without the benefit of others to bounce questions / problems / idea's off.
Tell your friends the more the merrier.
So come along and chat to the lads at the expo there will be a wealth of brewing knowledge and experience all under one roof

aswell as the brewing it will be a good time for general beer talk....

lets not even mention the free samples...........

We'll be playing it by ear, so I wouldn't worry about what time you arrive.
Can you wear a badge with your screen name and avatar so we'll know you when we see you?

You are.

Nope, we're winging the whole thing. There's likely to be staged demos at some point, but as a cack-handed noob, I won't be demonstrating anything.

Was this any good? Some guy was forcing fliers for it on me at the beerfest last Saturday, despite my protestations that I'd be out of the country.
