Ireland – Presented by John Duffy
Monday 9th September, 19:00 UK time
Ireland has a diverse and exciting beer scene, one which has sprung back to life in the last couple of decades after a century of consolidation and closures at the hands of multinational brewing concerns. Today, almost every county has a brewery, some with particular specialisations, including barrel-ageing and wild fermentation. With the multinationals still very much a dominant force in Irish brewing, finding independent beer can be tricky for the visitor. This workshop offers a guide to the current scene, including some of the hidden corners where the most interesting Irish beers can be found.
Iceland – Presented by Beth Manghi
Monday 30th September, 20:00 CET
Small but mighty. A phrase which sums up Iceland’s beer scene. Historically, Iceland’s relationship with beer has been complicated, given a prohibition that ended in 1989. That lack of a long brewing tradition allows for an openness to experimentation and an embrace of a variety of beer styles. From crisp Helles to hardy stouts to ales literally as wild as the landscape, Iceland may be small but our beers are mighty. In this workshop, we’ll discuss a bit of Iceland’s beer history, the best places to find beer and much more.
