Brew it yourself!

To celebrate the November Year of Food & Drink theme of “Legacy & Learning to…” the multi-award winning Walled City Brewery are very proud to announce the launch of the first ever Homebrew Academy in Ireland!

In the past 5 years there has been an unprecedented shift in the national beer market away from large, multinational, macro beers to a vast array of locally crafted beers, offering the consumer better flavour, greater quality and provenance.

With that, the ancient craft of home-brewing is fizzing with popularity. Kitchens and garages all over the country have bubbling fermentations, with even President Obama brewing his very own White House Honey Ale!

Owner James Huey stated, “We’re incredibly excited about the launch of the Homebrew Academy at the Walled City Brewery and we’re amazed at the phenomenal rise in interest from people eager to brew their own beer! On graduating from the Homebrew Academy, each student will have the knowledge to brew amazing craft beers in their own homes and share it with friends and family. Or just keep it to themselves!”

Opening in January 2017, the Homebrew Academy will be an intensive one day boot-camp run by Masterbrewer James Huey at Ebrington Square, with each participant receiving a Graduation Certificate and a gallon of their very own brew!

Tickets and gift vouchers are available online now at www.walledcitybrewery.com/homebrew or in the Walled City Brewery during normal opening hours
