Get ready to get merry, as the Great Irish Beer Festival is on its way back to Galway for the second year in a row. Beer lovers and connoisseurs will be excited to hear that the biggest beer festival in Ireland will be here for two days, Saturday October 25 and Sunday 26th.
The Black Box Theatre is the venue for the festival and doors open at 3pm and close at 10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets to the event cost €15, and you receive €3 back in 'Beer Bucks' drink tokens which can be used to purchase beer on the day (as no cash can be used to buy alcohol ). Beer Bucks can be purchased in the venue.
For those of you lucky enough to have a limited VIP platinum ticket (only available online ), you will receive priority entry, €30 back in Beer Bucks, a limited edition T-shirt, and more. These tickets are limited to only 100 per day so people are advised to purchase one online as soon as possible before they run out.
There will be more than 100 different beers, ciders, and ales on offer from all over the world. All festival goers will have the opportunity to taste and purchase an array of products from the very best of Ireland's and the world’s innovative and unique drinks companies. Some of the brewers, distillers, and cider makers behind the high-quality range of products will also be there to answer any beer-related questions.
From Galway Hooker and Hersbrucker, to Svyturys Ekstra Draught, Chimay Blue, and Hoegaarden, and with flavours like chocolate and banana, as well as a selection of non-alcoholic beers, there's something to wet every whistle.
