(Northern/) Irish Beer

When I first moved to the Emerald Isle breweries were few and far between. New openings have appeared at an exponential pace, with many more in the planning, especially south of the border. I'll use this page to link you to blog posts featuring Northern Irish/ Irish beer/ cider plus pub reviews/events and cheese of course!.
