Something different is happening in Farmleigh this September. Something bold and exciting, something that is both old and new at the same time. Something that celebrates an important part of our heritage, our culture, our past, and our present. SeptemberFest 2008 will undoubtedly be one of the huge draws at Farmleigh this year. Held over two days, Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th of September, and run in conjunction with Bord Bia, this event will have something for everybody. For the first time ever, Irelands craft brewers will come together to showcase their wonderful products, from traditional ales and beers, to artisan apple ciders. Their fantastic produce will be available to taste and purchase, with the dedicated brewers offering their expert advice on what beverages compliment certain dishes, as well as presenting an insight into the age old craft of brewing and its place in Irish history. With such fantastic producers like David Llewellyn showcasing his ciders, and the Carlow Brewing Company displaying their stouts and ales, the micro-brewery marquee is sure to be full of aromas and atmosphere throughout the weekend. While enjoying your glass of beer, why not take in the music of the various brass bands, guitarists and singers who will perform over the two days. There will also be lectures, exhibits and displays examining where and when our food and drink traditions were born. You may also see an Irish wolfhound or two, but dont worry, we wont let them near the herd of Kerry cows, an ever present group of important Farmleigh residents. Some wonderful speciality food produce will also be available throughout the event with high quality speciality producers feeding the masses with their delicious offerings. From great food to fantastic beers to wonderful entertainment, SeptemberFest 2008 is sure to be one of the highlights on this years Farmeligh calendar. Dont miss it! .
