    Picked up two weekend tickets in Drinkstore tonight, really looking forward to it. Since it began, its progressed amazingly. Every year it gets bigger and better, and it's lovely to admire the constant growth of Irish craft beer.
    So many new breweries popping up, and there's always really interesting one offs at it aswell.
    Super weekend it will be

    I'm very excited, I must admit.

    The West Kerry Dark Mild is quite intriguing.

    You can buy them at the door. In saying that I'd imagine it will be quite the queue around 5-6.30pm with people attending after work

    Queues. Those of us on the door are generally pretty good at getting people through, but then there'll be a separate queue for tokens, and those didn't move nearly as fast at peak times last year. My recommendation is do not show up between 6 and 7 on Friday. Or if you do, don't be surprised that there are queues.

    Wasn't knocking the people looking after the entry for the festival. I know it's Beoir volunteers who look after it. I'm a member too but can't help out this year.

    Search "ICBFC" in the google play app store for an app to bring to the festival

    App
    The Irish Craft Beer Festival returns to RDS, Dublin from 4-7th September 2014. A celebration of Irish craft brewing, live music and fabulous Irish artisan food stalls.
    Featuring over 40 Irish craft breweries, craft cider producers and International guest breweries the festival is expected to attract over 10,000 attendees throughout the weekend. This year, the team is looking forward to showcasing niche brands, new products, as well as providing craft-beer lovers with a unique insight to the Irish craft brewing scene and the opportunity to meet the brewers and taste over 200 different beers and ciders.
    This App is the digital program featuring all the brewers with bios; and all the beers.
    Rate the beers and tick them off...

    Part in bold is interesting to me, as usually I do "forget" which beers I've had.

    Also, does anyone fancy an impromptu Boards Beer Forum meet at this on Saturday?

    Say, anyone who feels like it go to a certain brewer's stall at a certain time?

    Managed to convince a couple of the lads to go to this on Friday (the tenner entry fee seems to be putting others off :rolleyes: recession still going strong I suppose!)

    Shame St.Mels isn't on the list but am looking forward to trying a few new beers.

    Saw some mention of queuing for tokens, what's that about?

    No cash in the hall, buy tokens and exchange for beer. Standard at beer festivals.

    You can also pay by card if you want or out of cash. No atm on site

    You can pay for tokens with cash or card. Probably best to bring cash to avoid delays.

    Yes, but as there isn't an ATM on site, I was just point it the option of using card rather than a walk to ballsbridge

    If you buy online from Martin's in Fairview they'll post for free and give you a €5 online voucher with each ticket. Quite the proposition.

    Don't know, but I'd say some would with a growler. Might be worth messaging them on Facebook?
