£340k loss made according to one CAMRA chap I spoke to at the festival last night.

Makes sense.
Beoir wise, do we have any appetite for a small increase in contribution?

[irish_goat]

Not great at all. Guess we can wait and see what the spring budget brings. Presuming there was no suggestion CAMRA would return as full member in a few years once they sort their own finances?

[irish_goat]

Not great news. Is the budget published?

Beer list is now live. Nice amount of Irish in there.

Beer & Cider List

My beer of the festival was Hope’s DIPA, but even if that gets 2 votes it’s hardly much of an endorsement.

[irish_goat]

I forgot to vote, but having a 4th vote will hardly make this a viable award.

Question to maybe ask, how many voters minimum would we need?

[irish_goat]

2 trips to Sligo in 1 month might be pushing it for me but I’ll see later.

[irish_goat]

Ah, I was hoping we wouldn’t be getting IPAs brewed in March…

[irish_goat]

Noticed Hopfully are on the Hagstravaganza list this year. So the beer is still being made somewhere at least.

Cornmill Brewery is in planning now in Limavady.

Treble Brewing have their kit delivered so hopefully should see some beer from them soon.

[irish_goat]

I think it is Portview Trade Centre. It’s certainly a old linen mill anyway.

Treble Brewing and Blending is coming in Belfast.

Fair point. Could pick a more Irish centric festival, if one is being planned.

[irish_goat]

I like the idea of doing some sort of award, but I don’t think we can call it ‘Beer of the Year’ if the beers are all judged on the same day.

What about creating a Hagstravaganza award?
