Winter in Dublin

The trip on Sunday to Howth was a no-go. I woke up and the city was covered in a freezing fog, so there was no point in hiking up the hills to see the non-existent view of the city. Maybe this weekend will provide a bit better weather.

It's gotten really cold all of a sudden - not quite down to freezing, but close. Yesterday we even had a bit of hail/snow. It only lasted 5 minutes, but that's typically how long constant weather conditions usually last around here . . .

Monday at the Brewery I had lunch with a couple guys up from Australia and got the invite to a product testing that afternoon after work. Turns out they work for Bundaberg Rum in Oz and are up here working on a "secret product" - that's why they are up here and not brewing it back home. It was kinda crazy, but they have rum & cola on tap down there. They were testing it out with some of our new draught kegs, trying to get the mix just right. I'm assuming they are trying to get it ready for export in kegs, but they wouldn't say exactly. Regardless, I got to do some taste testing - it was a great way to finish the day!
