The annual week long event hosted by the Independent Craft Brewers of Ireland will start on Wednesday 22nd May and celebrate local independent breweries like 12 Acres Brewing and Ballykilcavan Brewery.
The Independent Irish Craft Beer symbol will also be unveiled by the association during this year’s event.
Ireland’s network of Independent Craft Breweries will host their annual Indie Beer Week (Wednesday 22nd to Sunday 26th May 2019) during which 12 Acres Brewing and Ballykilcavan Brewery will be celebrating the best of independent Laois beer.
The centerpiece of this year’s celebration will be the launch of the symbol to distinguish genuinely independent craft beers from mass-produced global beer brands available in the hugely competitive marketplace today.
The Independent Craft Brewers, which is made up of over 30 microbreweries, will host a week-long series of nationwide celebrations including events in Laois.
This year’s Indie Beer Week will feature a weeklong nationwide celebration of truly independent Irish brewing.
12 Acres Brewing and Ballykilcavan Brewery will involve their local pubs, restaurants or off-licences for tastings, live music and local food to highlight their dynamic range of truly unique and genuine beers.
Some breweries will open to the public and welcome their community for tours and tastings.
This year is the third annual Indie Beer Week Festival which has grown dramatically in support from the network of Independent Craft Breweries across Ireland and the public seeking new genuine beers.
