With summer steadily approaching now is the time to start arranging your outdoor events. Deveney's of Dundrum's off-license is returning with their annual pop-up craft beer festival which will take place on Saturday 25th May from 2pm-10pm. Following last year's success as the nation's favourite beer festival, the 'Secret Beer Garden Festival' 2013 will take place once again in the Pembroke District in Dundrum Town Centre.
Tickets are on sale now (get 'em here) for the beer festival which includes taste samples of 400 internationally renowned craft beers, from breweries and micro-breweries across Ireland and the world. Not only can you sample from these 400 beers (though sampling all 400 might not be the best idea), but delicious dishes will be available from well-known local foodie establishments such as including Cortina's Mexican barbecue, Wagamama and Spanish tapas from The Port House. In addition, Harvey Nichols' posh dogs are sure to bring some refinement to the bbq.
Some of Ireland's best known and up-and-coming bands and DJs will accompany the food and drink throughout the day. Dublin-based band The Cadavos will finish up the day with their live session. Beer connoisseurs and novices alike should check out all that's on display by picking up a ticket for 20 Euro which includes a branded commemorative tankard and complementary beer tokens.
