    Thanks to everyone who came out to the RDS over the weekend. From a brewer's perspective we are really delighted with the organisation and with how smoothly it ran all weekend.

    Both the seciruty and the Gardaí complimented the organisers on such a well run, trouble-free event. I think it's great to show that we can enjoy a beer event in a mature fashion, and this can only help the organisers in preparing for year two - so well done all!

    The only gripes (e.g. food stalls) seem to be minor and easily rectified for next year, so fair play to the organisers. The whole wekend ran very smoothly, and a big thanks in particular to the volunteers from Beoir who manned the door for the weekend and were there to help out wherever they were needed.
    Roll on next year...

    there was no way I could try everything I wanted to and stay half sober, I was actually pouring beer out to try sample as much as possible
    Bear in mind that most of the beers are available in good quality pubs and off licences all year round.

    Highlights :
    the clotworthy dobbin stuff, mighty altogether
    dark arts porter
    In Dublin, Dark Arts is permanently on tap in Against the Grain, L. Mulligan Grocer and (I think) the Bull & Castle. All three have bottled Clotworthy Dobbin too.

    Great craic at this. I was the spiky haired lad manning the front desk, definitely volunteering again next year. :)

    Highlights included Clothworthy Dobbin (aged 19months in whiskey barrels), Metalman Pale Ale on cask and White Gypsy who very kindly left me and some other volunteers help ourselves on Sunday night. :D

    Dark Arts is, IMO, possibly the best of the current crop of Irish Beers. It's definitely worth visiting any of the mentioned alehouses for a few pints.

    Really enjoyed my few hours at the RDS on Saturday. Thanks to the brewers for the friendly reception and the generous measures!

    Have to say I'm loving my new pint glass...

    Are any of the White Gypsy beers available in bottle in off-licences in Dublin?
