New online beer and food tasting club launched by Dublin City Brewing Company
Dublin City Brewing Company has announced the launch of their new tasting club, a monthly online event that will allow beer fans to sample the brewery’s offerings along with specially selected food. Each event will see head brewer Fergal Murray hosting a tasting of three of the company’s beers, joined by a special guest from the world of food or drink. The guest will chat with Fergal about how they would pair a Dublin City Brewing beer with one of their culinary creations. The first event takes place on Thursday 25th February, when Fergal will be joined on Zoom by chef Kwanghi Chan of the Bowls by Kwanghi restaurant on Marlborough Street.
The €20 admission fee includes three 440ml cans of Dublin City Brewing Company beer (Liberator Lager, Renegade Red Ale and Patriot Pale Ale) and a branded glass, along with a jar of Chanchan Black Garlic & Peanut Rayu. Delivery is free within Dublin – a courier fee applies elsewhere. To book, see the Dublin City Brewing Company online store.

Congratulations to Aliso Organic Beauty!
Winners of the National Enterprise Awards announced
In Members News - Week 4 2021, we reported on the finalists for the National Enterprise Awards. Thirty finalists were announced, with many GS1 Ireland members among them. The National Enterprise Awards Final took place virtually on February 11 and we are pleased to announce that GS1 Ireland member, Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese (Local Enterprise Office Waterford), took home the 'Brexit Ready Award'. According to the press release from localenterprise.ie, "The raw milk artisan cheddar cheese producer’s impressive response to Brexit has seen them actually grow their business on the back of the UK leaving the EU, accessing new markets". Eight regional winners were also announced on the night, among them GS1 Ireland member Dromod Boxty, who came out tops in the North West Region (backed by LEO Leitrim). Huge congratulations to all finalists and winners from everyone at GS1 Ireland.
