The White Hag Brewery in Balllymote, County Sligo will host an international craft beer festival on the last weekend in July.

And you could join the Hagstravaganza!

Paul Mullin, of the White Hag, writes:

Having won the inaugural Oliver Hughes ‘Best Brewery in Ireland’ award from Beoir, the national craft beer organisation, our team at The White Hag have decided to host an innovative beer festival to celebrate.

The event is designed to celebrate our 3rd Birthday – and hopefully our 4th and subsequent birthdays!

We’re expecting a 1000 capacity crowd to attend the event, with 85% of guests expected to come from outside Sligo.

‘Beers not poured in Ireland’ is the theme for the event which will see over 60 beers from around the world available for the first time to Irish craft beer fans.

Our call to arms is simple – if you want to come, or know someone who would want to come (Fathers Day next week!) then buy your tickets and get your accommodation now, as rooms are tight and we want to ensure everyone who wants to come and stay over gets a spot.

All event details including accommodation lists and travel advice at link below. Tickets are €25 and include a Festival glass and 4 drinks, as well as a free train to Sligo.

And, as ever, we’d love to reward Broadsheet readers with a prize:

A pair of tickets to HAGSTRAVAGANZA, food and drinks on the day, and overnight accommodation in Sligo for two people!

Simply tell us the best reason why you should win in the comments (below)….

Lines stay open until MIDNIGHT Sunday.
