Speaking about the upcoming food and beer festival, Rascals Brewery Marketing Manager Joe Donnelly told Dublin Live: "We had this festival in September 2019 which was the vert first one. Obviously we were't able to do it again in 2020 or in 2021.
"We really wanted to do it again and do it bigger. It was a one day event in 2019."
Joe revealed that the reaction so far has been "absolutely terrific".
He explained: "There's a real strong scene around beer and food in Ireland. Irish breweries are still doing really well in spite of the pandemic.
"It's all about he quality and supporting local producers."
He added: "We have a lot of experience going to these kinds of festivals ourselves and Rascals is the ideal venue. This time around, we have the new yard so we've increased our capacity."
