Irish Craft Beer festival set for Dublin launch

Irish craft brewing will be celebrated around the country for over a week from tomorrow.

Ireland's first ever Irish Craft Beer Week is being launched in Dublin today, which kicks-off tomorrow, running until September 9.

It coincides with the two-day Irish Craft Beer Festival, now in its second year - which starts on September 7 at the RDS and expects to attract over 5,000 people alone.

Organisers say there's a huge interest among publicans and restaurants wanting to get involved.
