Have an ale of a time in Westport

Westport House will host the seventh annual Grainne Ale Craft Beer Festival in the best beer garden in Ireland this weekend.

Join the fun in Gracy’s Pizzeria & Bistro, located in the farmyard, where you can taste some old favourites such as regulars Mescan, Reel Deel, Longueville House and Black Donkey.

For the first time at the Grainne Ale festival, guests can look forward to sampling Lough Gill’s delicious brew and local Loch Measc Distillery’s scrummy vodka and gin.

Westport House is beavering away on two full days (Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5) of musical entertainment, and they will also be firing up the wood-fired pizza oven for some mouth-watering bites to accompany the robust and flavoursome selections of beers, cider and spirits on offer.

As usual, the team at Gracy’s will be serving a full bar and soft drinks to complement the crafty brews, so come along for a tipple and raise a glass to the Pirate Queen herself!
