Bonus Episode - Podcasters at the Beerfest

While I work to bring you episode 10 all about the Irish Craft Beer and Cider festival 2014, I thought I'd share this impromptu meetup of all the current Irish Craft Beer internet broadcasters.

With an introduction from Wayne, the Irish Beer Snob, I was served a Bo Bristle Imperial Red Ale by Sarah of 5 Minutes of Finney. Then Ian of 11Pm somewhere and I each gave our thoughts on the beer, before Wayne bookended the meeting giving his thoughts on the beer.
Collaboration brew podcast anyone?
