    Hey all

    Going to be in Dublin and Bray in Ireland on Dec 22/23 - not a lot of time and lots of non beer related family activities so I think I'm just gonna focus on carving a few hours out and sitting at the bar in Against the Grain and tasting whats on offer Monday afternoon. But if there are other suggestions please let me know

    Any interest out there in an IP trade some time on Monday Dec 22 in Dublin? I'm staying at the Westin

    I am primarily looking for Cantillon (esp Fou Foune) and can offer many many interesting/relatively hard to find US beers.

    A partial list is

    BCBS 12, 13, 14
    BCBS Barleywine 13, 14
    Terrapin Wake n Bake
    Jacks Abbey Hoppy U and Mass Rising
    Lost Abbey Deliverance
    Trillium Double Pot and Kettle
    Russian River Sours
    Founders Backwoods Bastard 13, 14
    Founders KBS 13, 14
    Alchemist Beezlebub
    Brooklyn Black Ops
    DC Brau / Flying Dog / Great Lakes / Union Brewing and many more easily available midwest and east coast beers

    If you're interested shoot me a note and see if we can work something out

    Cheers

    You may have a tough time tracking people down those days - any from down the country will be home by then.

    And I don't know how often you're here, but that list might not be as tempting you'd expect: the BCBS, Founders, and Black Ops could all be bought off the shelf at, say, Drinkstore even as we speak.
    (As it happens, the Grand Cru Bruocello Lambic is there for the taking at the moment if you're chasing Cantillon.)

    Also, I might go for the Norseman over ATG; they're doing an 8 Degrees tap takeover now, while GBB bars - outside of their own beers - don't stress Irish craft quite as much.

    Hope this helps; BM me for more info.
