There is no better way to get early St. Patrick’s Day celebrations underway than at the Irish Craft Beer and Food Market in Dublin. Starting on March 13th and continuing until March 17th, craft beer from breweries such as Blacks Brewery, Galway Hooker, and Bo Bristle will be flowing freely from the taps.
In addition to cold beer you can expect live music and a selection of dishes from up-and-coming artisan food producers.
