Will 2024 be the year of the come back for beer festivals?

I’ve heard a rumour that Rascals are doing one. Any details?

Has anyone heard if there are any beer festivals planned for the year? Would love to drop in to a few especially like the ones held in the Convention Centre and the RDS.

Nothing like that anymore.

Sullivan's in Kilkenny is having a festival at their taproom. 17-18 May.

Franciscan Well is likely to be on over Easter weekend. I'm sure Rascals will be having one of theirs over a summer weekend. And I'm hoping the Mullingar Wild Beer Festival will be back in late spring.

I heard a mad rumour in January that someone was looking into a revival of the RDS type festival, which was a good showcase of the Irish craft scene, with a couple of international guests on the bill too.

Fidelity was mostly international when it ran, and I was udner the impression that they were going to an "every second year" timeframe, which would mean summer 2025 would be on the cards, but would probably be announced by now, and I heard the venue wasn't open to it either.

White Hag will be on again in August and there'll most likely be Portrush in October.

I had heard too that Fidelity were going to every 2 years… but not sure where I heard it.

That would mean that their Beer Festival would be back this year as they last ran it in 2022.

That day in Weston airport was great. I wish they'd do it again.
