That and the English Market are what I miss most about living in Cork :(

Always a great weekend, supposed to be nice weather on Sat as well. That crowd from Carlow make a nice stout if memory serves (which it may well not, to be fair).

I love beer, but you couldn't get me into that cattlefest if it was free for the night.

In early, out early is the trick. Last year it was getting hectic after five, but I was gone an hour after that.

That Galway Hooker is lovely.

It sure is a fine beer.
And fair play to the first Irish micro in God knows how long not to brew a Stout, Red or Lager.
