A Sip Of Irish + Q&A

About A Sip Of Irish + Q&A

Celebrate the incredible story of Ireland's contribution to the culinary and drinks world with some unexpected discoveries along the way.

A Sip Of Irish is a humorous look at the likes of Guinness, Hennessy Cognac, Irish whiskey, Muff Liquor Co and Baileys Irish Cream, and how they complement Irish cuisine. It features an all-star cast including Guinness heir Rory Guinness, Deirdre O’Carroll (the blender of Jameson whiskey) and actor Sam Neill.

Filmed in spectacular locations around Ireland including Ballymaloe House and Chateau Margaux in Bordeaux (once owned by the Irish), it also includes legendary Irish publican Oisín Rogers, who reveals the secret behind the best pint of Guinness in England at the Devonshire Soho.

The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with director Frank Mannion.
