Despite my advanced years, I still get ideas. Not necessarily new or interesting ones. But ideas all the same. I'm just happy that I still have anything going on upstairs.
I was fortunate enough to be sent some brewing records from a couple of Irish Ale breweries: Cairnes and Perry. I find them fascinating. As they demonstrate that Irish brewing was about a lot more than just Stout and Red Ale. Comparing and contrasting with beers brewed on the other side of the Irish Sea is dead instructive.
I would bang out a book on the topic. Except I have nothing like enough information about Irish beer.Just a couple of snapshots rather than a full-length documentary film. Frustrating, but I need to be realistic.
The material I have, however, would make a dead good talk. There's more than enough to fill 45 minutes of me waffling on. Looking at Irish beers of the 1890s and /or 1930s at comparing them to ones from similar-sized English and Scottish brewers. All I need to do is find someone willing to host it.
Anyone care to give it a punt? Anywhere in Ireland is fine by me. Or anywhere else, for that matter. I just want a good excuse to write it. I hate leaving good material unused.
If you would like to host me, get in touch. I'm incredibly flexible as to dates. If you have a brewery, recipes could be arranged. Irish, English, and Scottish. I've loads of interesting ones.
