200 thirsty reasons to go to beer and cider festival

More than 50 breweries and cider makers will be offering over 200 tasty tipples during the Irish Craft Beer Festival in Dublin next week.

The festival, now in its fifth year, will be held over three days in the RDS, and the organisers are bracing themselves for another record turnout.

Last year more than 12,000 people visited the festival to meet the producers and discover new tastes in beer and cider.
