About this event
Join us at the Brewery Corner, Kilkenny for
Kilbeggan – ‘at the Heart of Irish Whiskey’
Ireland’s longest running licensed distillery, maintained since 1757 by McManus, then on to the Codds & Cuffee, to Locke’s and to the people of Kilbeggan prior to rebirth via Cooley and all on the same site by the river Brusna.
