DUBLIN CITY BREWING COMPANY TASTING CLUB WITH PITT BROS

Ireland’s capital city right has never been so enriched with wonderful chefs, restaurateurs and food producers than it is right now.  Exotic spices, local delicacies and a huge array of world class cuisine are all around us and they are a source of huge inspiration to the team at Dublin City Brewing Co. Collaborating with these palate pleasers is what led to establishing the Dublin City Brewing Tasting Club. Taking place on the last Thursday of every month, each edition sees head brewer Fergal Murray hosting a tasting of three of their beers and a special guest food or drink producer joins him.

For September it’s all about that barbecue with the best in town Pitt Bros. Taking place onSeptember 30th@ 8 pm!

for Just €60 for a table of 2. Each guest will receive a platter of barbecued delights along with 3 x 250 ml serves of beer.

Pitt Bros owner David J Stone has created a special one off menu where each of the dishes are made with a different DCB beer.

– Slow Smoked FX Buckley Beef Rib // DCB Stout Glaze

– Pitt Bros Original BBQ Ribs // DCB Patriot Pale Ale Sauce

– Pitt Bros Smoked Sausage // Renegade Red Ale Ketchup

– Choice of 2 sides on the night per person

Established in 2013, Pitt Bros was Dublin’s first authentic barbecue restaurant. You’ll find the finest Irish farm meats smoked in house for up to 12 hours and they’re all served up with an excellent selection of house made sauces & side dishes.
Commenting, Head brewer Fergal Murray said, 
“There are few better pairings out there than great beers and barbecue. I am truly humbled to see that the fantastic team in Pitt Bros have prepared a whole menu of gorgeous meats made with our beers. With our choice of malts and hops, there are so many flavours for a chef to play around with – from the bitter, to the sweet and the sour. I am particularly looking forward to the Slow Smoked FX Buckley Beef Rib cooked with our DCB Stout Glaze. Heaven on a plate!”
Despite the setbacks caused by the pandemic, Dublin City Brewing Co’s spectacular new facility is set to begin operations in the late 2021. The 11,000 square foot property, located in the Parnell Centre on Parnell Street, will comprise a brewery with the capacity to produce 5 million litres of premium beers per year, making it the biggest independent brewery in Dublin’s city centre. It will also have a visitor centre providing guided tours, with a capacity of up to 200,000 people per annum, and a merchandise shop. Work commenced on the site in January 2018, with all design and project management handled by David Wright from Caulfield Wright Architects. The business is expected to employ about 50 people in due course.
 
Every element of the Dublin City Brewing Co’s production and packaging will be done in-house, to ensure that the highest level of quality is maintained. There are eighteen 140 hectolitre fermentation tanks that will feed into the brewery’s own keg, canning and bottle lines for both national and international distribution.
 
Guided tours of the brewery will be conducted on a mezzanine level overlooking production so that guests can take in all the sights and smells of the beer as it is being made. The tours will be held seven days a week and will end at the Taproom where guests can sample all the beers. The Taproom will also see the master brewer host exclusive tastings and, in addition to this area, there will be a private event space. As well as its own products, the merchandise shop will stock products designed by Dublin creatives and it will be adjoined by an area kept for local businesses to showcase their products. 
 
Dublin City Brewing Co’s management team comprises a number of very experienced  drinks and hospitality industry professionals with diverse skill sets and backgrounds. They include master brewer Fergal Murray, whose last role was master brewer and Global Brand Ambassador for Guinness. 
 
The entire €15 million project has been independently funded thus far but there will be a crowdfunding campaign launched soon for the final raise of capital.
