A Pint of The Past: Tales from Dublin 8 (10/5/25)

Step inside the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral for a unique evening of song, story and verse, uncovering the rich and rebellious brewing history of Dublin 8.

From the Great Liberties Whiskey Fire of 1875, to the treacherous barrels of Manders & Powel Brewery used to hang Robert Emmet, through to Jonathan Swift’s sharp wit on English porter and the rise of Daniel O’Connell’s Sons Ale Brewery, which was once pumping out half a million litres of ale a day – this night brings the past alive in spectacular fashion.

Join historians, musicians and storytellers as we wander through tales of price-fixing cartels, explosive distillery disasters, and the intoxicating legacy of Dublin’s Liberties.

hosted by Donal Fallon. With Macdara Yeates , Stephen James Smith, Helena Byrne and Padraig O’Lionsaigh
