Irish Food & Drink Month

Pride in Irish food has never been stronger in Ireland’s hospitality sector. Across the country, you’ll find Irish produce taking front and centre of most menus. Local food tastes best when enjoyed with local drinks and Ireland is no exception.  Our native drinks pair wonderfully well with Irish meats, fish, farmed produce and cheeses. We want to see those drinks as well-loved as the foods they share the same land with. That’s why we created Irish Food & Drink Month. 

The inaugural nationwide festival took place in October 2022 and with 140 venues across 16 counties and the winner of the Best Irish Food and Drink Pairing 2022 is:

Dash Burger, Kevin Street, Dublin 8

Pairing: Double Smash Cheeseburger with Allta’s Shiitake Miso Butter, paired with a draught of O’Hara’s zesty, contemporary-style IPA. 

With thanks to all the brands and venues who took part in this year’s festival. We’ll have news about the 2023 Irish Food & Drink Month in the New Year.

Follow us on social media for updates!

Irish Food & Drink Month has been made possible with kind support from Bord Bia, Drinks Ireland and all the amazing Irish drinks brands we are engaging with.
