With the rapidly growing beer scene in Northern Ireland, it was only a matter of time before we had our very own beer festival. The ABV15 Beer Festival was the brainchild of four people from different parts of NI all of which had the same idea at the same time. Darren, Felicia, Matthew, and Michael really, really love beer.

Described as:

A festival set in an inspirational venue with innovation and creativity at its heart. A festival where not drinking the same thing twice is to be encouraged. A festival where quality local and international beers meet and match the very best that local food producers have to offer. A festival you want to book next year’s tickets for as you’re leaving the very last session.

Great beers should be sipped, shared, talked about and debated in the company of some of those who create them. They should unite and divide. But most important of all, they should be savoured and enjoyed with friends, and strangers who might become friends, under one very special roof.

Running from the 22nd to the 23rd May, tickets are £12 per session, or £30 for full access. Held in the Titanic Drawing Offices, this should be one hell of an event! Visit the website for more details.
