The Alltech International Craft Brews and Food Fair returns to Dublin’s Convention Centre, Ireland, from February 6th – 8th 2014. Due to the phenomenal success of the inaugural and unique event held in July of this year, another gathering of trade exhibitors, food pairing experts, world renowned beer judges and international trade professionals will come together for three days of learning, networking and entertainment.
Focussing on the needs and trends in the craft brewing and distilling industry, the Fair is aimed at brewing and distilling enthusiasts and professionals. The Fair is open to trade on the 6th and 7th February with the public welcome to attend and sample the craft beverages and artisan foods from 5pm on the 7th and from noon on the 8th February. Trade professionals will examine the latest trends in brewing and distilling and explore how distillers, brewers and craft beers resellers can best profit from them. The Fair presents an enormous opportunity to connect with as many as 50 international craft breweries and distilleries, network with buyers and resellers from around the world and showcase beverages to the public.
The Fair will feature a full programme of educational talks and demonstrations that will cover many facets of craft brewing and distilling.
Also returning this year is the Dublin Craft Beer & Spirit Cup competition, where craft beverages will be pitted against each other across seven different categories, with local breweries and distilleries competing head to head with their global competitors. Entries will be sorted into their respective categories and a winner will be chosen by a panel of judges from the industry.
