YellowBelly are one of the top craft breweries in Ireland. Based in Wexford, they brew up a wide range of styles – their core range features their award-winning Citra Pale Ale, Castaway (Passionfruit Sour), Kellerbier (Helles) and Hopped in Space IPA – but they also brew seasonals, one-off specials and regular collaborations with their beer world buddies.

We’re big fans of YellowBelly; not just because their beer is awesome but because they’ve got their own unique style. Their artwork stands out and their creativity resonates with us, so we were dead excited when YellowBelly’s Sales Manager, Danny Trappe, was kind enough to spare some time to have a chat with us!

Padraig Fox, General Manager - Open Gate Brewery, Guinness, Dublin

The whole world is familiar with the black stuff, but there’s a chance you haven’t heard of Guinness’ Open Gate Brewery. Based in Dublin at the same location as the Guinness Storehouse, the Open Gate is the Guinness brewers’ licence to be creative.

Although there’s been an experimental brewery at St. James’s Gate for over a hundred years, the Open Gate taproom only opened to the public in late 2015. Most of the experimental beers are exclusively available in the taproom, although some of the most successful have made their way into bars, restaurants and off-licences across the UK including Citra IPA and Hop House 13.

We were really excited to have a chat with the General Manager of the Open Gate, Padraig Fox to discuss all things beer, food and the third annual Guinness x Meatopia which takes place at the Open Gate Brewery, 5th-7th July 2019.
