American Craft Beer In Ireland This Week (Dublin) – American Craft Beer’s Editor will be drinking his way across Ireland all this week, visiting iconic breweries like Beamish and Guinness St John’s Gate and getting to as many of the country’s exciting new craft beer as his liver will allow!
He’ll be exploring award-winning beers at Emma Devlin and Cathal O’Donoghue’s uber-exciting Rascals Brewing in Dublin, and drinking “bog ale at The White Hag in Sligo. He’ll also be heading over to the village of Ballinlough in rural Roscommon, to visit Black Donkey Brewing and sample their acclaimed Irish Farmhouse Saisons before heading north to check out Belfast’s emerging craft beer scene.

New Belgium To Lose Legendary Head Brewer (Fort Collins, CO) – Industry professionals and craft beer fans are still buzzing about last week’s report that Peter Bouckaert, New Belgium’s longtime brewmaster (and ACB fav) would be leaving to be part of a smaller project later this year.
Bouckaert will be joining Purpose Brewing and Cellars a new farm brewery (also based in the Ft Collins area) owned by Zach Wilson and Laura Sickles – and we’ve got to think they’re making a bigtime commitment to Sours and Wild Ales.
