In the spirit of this, Athlone Beer Club’s first meeting of the year will be in The Ritz, Athlone where an Irish Craft Beer and food pairing evening is planned for the 29th of January, there may even be some new beers for us to try from our local breweries. More on that closer to the date. UPDATE: here’s the link to the Facebook event!

On a slightly bigger scale I’m looking forward to the Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fair which is taking place from the 5th to the 7th of February. Tickets are available from:
I love the variety offered at this festival, where we can have some special Irish and international beers. Hopefully those epic crisp sandwiches will be available this year too! Once again, let me wish you a happy 2016 and sláinte!
