Has anyone heard of this before? Apparently it was on last year.
I emailed the guy running it a while back to see if they were getting the Irish microbreweries on board - at that stage he said he hoped to, but had no details.
Not much info, is there? At a guess I'd say it's the standard Irish beer festival model: they get in the importers and distributors and give them a stall each to sell beer from. If they're charging too much, the local guys won't show.
