I had a fantastic time meeting with Laurie at Lacada Brewery. An awesome co-op brewery located in Portrush, Ireland. They recently took gold with their Stranded Bunny Porter. In addition to this, their Utopian Stout from their Salamander series was an excellent representation of an export stout. A great group of folks with some very fun plans in the works. I look forward to watching them from across the pond and returning to visit when life takes me back to Ireland.

We of course had to swap some beers while there. I took some Southern Star Buried Hatchet and Guadalupe Brewing Texas Honey Ale to share.
