Managing Director Paul Mullin said: “We’ve been very fortunate with our progress to date exporting our beers into Europe. Over the last two years, myself and our team have travelled to over 12 countries promoting and showcasing our beers.

“We have met some great people along the way and developed long lasting relationsh­ips with brewers in these markets.

“These relationsh­ips usually end up as collaborat­ions for new beers, and this all feeds our constant desire to make great craft beer available to beer fans.”

Brew Master Joe Kearns said: “The festival will be a fantastic opportunit­y for beer fans from Ireland and abroad to experience some of the most innovative breweries from around Europe in one unique location.

“We will also be hosting the first tasting of our crowdfunde­d barrel programme, with funders getting to visit their barrel on the morning of the festival for the first time.

“Along with the chance to taste some extremely unique beers, there will also be music, beer talks, games, and the rare opportunit­y to experience all this inside and actual working brewery instead of some sweaty old rental hall.”
