Hagstravag­anza at The White Hag

-

Plans have been announced for this year’s Hagstravag­anza - The White Hag Brewery’s 4 th birthday party event.

Breweries from Ireland and further afield will travel to Ballymote in July to take part in this massive event.

The White Hag Brewery described the event as follows:

“Since we started the brewery in 2014, we have met some brilliant characters and brewery crews across world. It struck us that when two or more breweries get together the atmosphere turns into a collaborat­ive, collective aspiration to work together in pursuit of endless possibilit­ies.

“We also noticed that the best events are run by breweries hosting other breweries, and we’ve wanted to create that type of event since we’ve started out.

“Our second birthday allowed us realise we could do it properly when 260 beer fans turned up at two weeks notice, to drink with us and our favourite breweries. Last year 23 of the best breweries we’ve met on our travels brought beers never poured in Ireland, and joined over 1000 punters in descending on Ballymote to create a magical festival, HAGSTRAVAG­ANZA. So we’re doing it again.

“We are focusing on bringing sixteen breweries from ten countries leading the way in craft beer, pouring three beers each. We will also have a select crew of the best Irish Breweries pouring a unique beer each. Aside from breweries who we’ve done collaborat­ions with, ALL of the breweries are new to HAGSTRAVAG­ANZA, and ALL of the beers have never been poured here before.”

Tickets for the event are available from eventbrite.ie and full details can be found on the Facebook page.
