On Saturday 18th of July saw us return to Smyths on the Square Navan. We showcased 4 breweries and 1 craft cider. It all kicked off at 4pm. Entry was €10 which included two tokens, BBQ and live entertainment.

In attendance we saw David Risso show casing beers by 8 Degrees

James Brown Brews with his award winning chocolate orange stout.

Wayne was even lucky enough to tap the cask

Kentucky Ale with their fantastic bottle selection, bourbon and single malt

I was busy the day before baking up a storm. I did three batches of brownies using Kentucky Bourbon Barrel stout & James Browns orange chocolate stout. I even baked up his own batch as he missed out on them before.

It was a fantastic day, great atmosphere and the entertainment was fun. All I can say is I can’t wait for the next one. But who do we have I hear you ask, well ask no more:

Bru Brewery

Wicklow Wolf

Boyne Valley Cider

Mc Gargles

O Clerigh Brew Co

Once again entry is €10 including two tokens and BBQ. We can’t wait to see you all there on the 15th August from 4pm.

This coming weekend, on Saturday 18th July – we are hosting the first of a summer trilogy of Beer Festivals in Smyth’s on the Square, Navan, Co Meath.

Those of you who were at our last event in Smyth’s in September 2014 know what to expect, but for those who haven’t here’s the gist of what to expect.

We are highlighting 4 Craft Breweries, and 1 Craft Cider Producer. We are delighted to be welcoming some new comers to our festival, and some returning producers. 

Who we have coming are 
  • Kentucky Ale (Kentucky USA) 
  • James Brown Brews (Ratoath, Co Meath)
  • 8 Degrees Brewing (Mitchelstown, Co Cork)
  • Brehon Brewhouse (Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan)
  • Dan Kelly’s Cider (Drogheda, Co Louth/Meath)
As if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, we will also be having BBQ food throughout the day, and live local musicians.

So come on down, to enjoy a nice relaxed atmosphere and enjoy some craft beer and cider. Get to chat to the producers directly and ask them any burning questions you may have had. 

Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages for details of competition to win tickets to this event.

We will be back in Smyth’s on the 15th August, and 19th September, with a different line up of producers.
