There’s a huge craft beer festival this month.

The All Ireland craft beerfest returns to the RDS this August, running from the 27th to the 29th of August. There will be 50+ craft breweries in attendance, pouring over 200 beers.

The beer fest will beheld in the main hall of the RDS, a huge space that will be converted into a cathedral of craft for the few days that it runs. Also in attendance will be some great Irish whiskey and spirit producers, as well as some lovely local food.

We went last year and were really impressed with the sheer scale of the experience. There’s plenty of seating in the central area of the hall, where you can get a bit of a beer hall atmosphere going with some friends.

The beer is served in half pints so you can sample a lot more beers without getting too inebriated. Tickets for the festival are €10 for a Thursday or Friday ticket, €12 for a Saturday ticket, or €15 for a 3 day ticket. Tickets include a souvenir glass. Tickets are available in advance from www.irishcraftbeerfestival.com or on the door.
