About this Event

Ballykilcavan Brewing Company is based at Ballykilcavan Farm near Stradbally in Co. Laois. The farm has been the home of the Walsh family since 1639 and the current owners, David and Lisa Walsh-Kemmis, are the 13th generation of the family to live and work there.

They have set up a craft brewery in the 240-year-old stone grain store at Ballykilcavan, and grow the barley used to make the beers in the field next to the farmyard.

The event includes a guided walk through the barley field and hop garden, a walk through the historic stone farmyard and on-site working brewery, and concludes with a tasting of different Ballykilcavan beers.

The tasting portion is for people aged 18 and over only.
