Title: International Craft Beer Festival in Ireland
Post by: Mike on December 19, 2012, 11:08:32 AM
I was at an event last night where the founder of Alltech spoke. He mentioned that he has ventured into whiskey and beer and he intends to bring an international craft beer festival to Ireland in June 2013. Has anyone heard this?

What was the event you saw him at?
When in 2013? That's only around the corner.

Yeah he said it would be next June, I'd say he is the kind of guy who could have it put together in a rush! 

I havent been able to find anything on it though.
