BrewCon 2019 – the fundamental ingredients of brewing, pushing the boundaries of what you can achieve in a glass of beer and broaden your brewing skills to achieve even more in improving your brewing ability.

For their 5^th event, BrewCon have decided to do something different. This year they're raiding the Rascals. Yes, that's right, they'll be taking over Rascals for the day at Rascals HQ; hosting a more dynamic open plan event in a live & kicking brewery. Not only that, they'll have a fantastic line-up of speakers from these various backgrounds:

• Ron Pattinson – Historical Beer Researcher.
• Marshall Schott – Brülosopher.
• Philip Woodnutt – Wicklow Hop Company.
• Mini Talk sessions with Richard Silberry, Christina Wade, Sarah Pantry, Tom Coughlin, Dave Leitch, Andrew Moore, James Keane.
• Featuring the return of the Bag'o'Cans on the couch & introducing the Rascals Pizza Oven.
• With the change to the format, you'll have a choice of talks as part of the afternoon's Mini Talk breakout sessions. Choose from a range of niche talks on equipment setup, sensory analysis & judging beers and a look back at older styles & the history of beer.

Club Night makes its return, with exclusive access for BrewCon attendees, this year showcasing the best brews from clubs across the country. Alongside a selection of commercial craft beers, there will be local clubs from all over the island pouring corny kegs of their own brews. There'll be some great beers pouring and inter-club mingling is encouraged, with a little bit of friendly rivalry too.
