This year's summer was an amazing affair, we were able to sit outside
- al fresco at its finest - sip beer, prosecco and nibble away while
sunrays warmed us. The evenings are getting cooler now but we are
still in the beer garden mood so we thought that a beer tasting
experience is called for before the seasons really change.

Slow Food Cork City is inviting you to a beer tasting in the Abbott
Ale House on Thursday, 9th September at 6:30pm.

Barry Fitzgerald will be our host for the night. He is well known in
the beer world as he managed a supply service for beer which he
sourced worldwide as well as running the Abbott Ale House. He is
committed to Slow Food and the focus on the night will be on Trappist
beer (this is a beer brewed by or under control of Trappist monks).
The traditional brewing method of the Trappist beer is akin to the
Slow Food motto of local produce, traditional methods and quality. He
will also introduce us to some Irish beer.
With each beer you will be served interesting (and sometimes
unexpected!) finger food to match.

Barry will share his extensive knowledge with us and will welcome any
questions you might have. The Abbott Ale House is a 'Mecca' for beer
lovers as it stocks beers from around the world and you can get lost
in the variety. The upstairs pub - where we will have our tasting - is
as quirky as it gets and a relaxed atmosphere will guarantee a great
event.
