Friday, August 15^th, brings a special evening event – ‘A Night with the Chief’ – at The Oliver Plunkett. From 6pm to 8pm, guests can enjoy live music, receive a complimentary Chieftain IPA, and create their own t-shirt, printed live on-site as a fun keepsake. Over 18’s only and no booking required.

“We’re thrilled to bring ‘Beerfest’ back to Cork this summer as part of Cork on a Fork,” said Goretti Bracken at Franciscan Well. “’A Night with the Chief’ is all about celebrating what makes Cork unique—from our brewing heritage to our creative spirit and sense of community. Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer fan or just curious to learn more, Beerfest is the perfect way to experience great flavours & local talent — right in the heart of the city.”
