15 beers. 15 awards. We’ve done it again.  Another serious haul at the World Beer Awards for the beers coming out of our little corner of Celbridge. Gold. Silver. Bronze. And plenty of reasons for the brewing team to be feeling pretty good about themselves today. We’ll enjoy this one.

Text reads: 

“Join Dr Christina Wade for a talk on Irish beer in the 18th century.
