If anyone happens to be planning their long weekend you might be interested in this. It's basically an event put on by the guys behind the Oslo brewpub[/url:3v999y1s]. While their own brews have a way to go, every establishment these guys own host a great variety of beers which I appluade them for.
Here's the important bit:
14 microbreweries from across Ireland will showcase their best craft beers at the Oslo including, Bay Brewery (Galway), Barrelhead Brewery (Dublin), Breweyed Brewery (Offaly), Carlow Brewing (Carlow), Dungarvan Brewery (Waterford), Eight Degrees Brewing (Cork), Franciscan Well Brewery (Cork), Galway Hooker (Galway), Hilden Brewery (Belfast), Porterhouse Brewing, Messrs Maguire (Dublin), Metalman Brewing (Waterford), Trouble Brewing, (Kildare) and White Gypsy (Tipperary).
