The First Lisdoonvarna Craft Beer Festival

[wallacebiy]

I'm organising a Beer festival for Peter Curtain of the Burren Brewey in Lisdoonvarna for the August Bank Holiday weekend , and there's been some good interest from the First Few Breweries I've invited ,
Shane from the Franciscan Well is giving me a hand to make sure the Logistics are good, So I'll be in good hands for my first ever festival .


There'll be music all weekend and I'm Sure Peter will have a few tricks up his sleeve to make it a memorable festival !.

There's a good deal of accommodation in Lisdoonvarna , but the August BH is a popular time so start thinking about Booking rooms now ( I've mine booked already at the Burren Hostel , which is a short stumble from the Bar ) http://www.sleepzone.ie/About_Sleepzone__The_Burren/Default.95.html

The Lee Valley Homebrew club is making the trip this year to Lisdoonvarna their official annual outing , so I'm really looking forward to it in any case .

Hope to see a good few of ye there !!


Any questions I'll do my best to answer !!

It's not something I've discussed with the Brewer down there . I might float it to him .


Of Course the Brew It Yourself Expo is being Hosted this Year in the Franciscan Well , By the Lee Valley Homebrew Club . ( 22nd June )

That'll be a Brewing Demo , Homebrew Samples and a Homebrew supplies stand .



( I don't want to split myself into too many pieces I'm brewing the Demo there )

It's nice and sunny with usual Atlantic breeze to prevent overheating.
