Believe Wicklow Wolf are involved as well.

Anyone around KK should come on down. As well as beer the food (from a double decker bus similar to Bernard Shaw) is really excellent and the music is very chilled, not too intrusive. Good crowd, not too packed.

There was an excellent techtalk from an industry veteran yesterday, and today there were meet the brewer sessions, a home brew demo, etc.

One interesting twist is for every beer in the show there is a food dish cooked with that beer. I had the pizza with onions caramelised is Wicklow Weiss. Lovely.

First year being run and a great success already, a huge well done to the organisers.

Sounds great

I was at it twice yesterday. Great little festival in a unique and intimate setting. We really enjoyed it.

Fabulous food too.

A big thank you to Costellos, Billy Byrnes, The Bulabus and all the breweries and minions involved!
