BeoirFest Saturday Special
Each are completely different but at the same time have a similar ethos.
- Land and Labour are the pioneers of spontaneous fermentation in Ireland
- Butchers Tears are based in the heart of Amsterdam but focus on traditional ales, brewing with an old strain of English yeast they have been re-pitching for a decade.
- Nevel are located in Nijmegen and create beers using wild yeast and ingredients foraged from a local forest.
Each make truly unique beers and having all 3 of them together should make for a really fascinating chat. Your link to it is below.

BOTTEGA OPENS TWO PROSECCO BARS AT UK RACECOURSES OF BATH & WINDSOR
Bottega resumes with renewed enthusiasm the Prosecco Bar project and announces two
prestigious openings in May at the English racecourses of Bath and Windsor. These are two
Bottega Terrazza Bar & Restaurant, as they are elegant outdoor spaces where you can watch the
horse races and sip a glass of Prosecco, accompanying it with a selection of tasty Italian dishes.
They are complemented by the Bottega Garden Bars, which are more agile structures, limited to
drinks.
The two openings are of great value, as after a stall of over a year, they are the first since the start
of the pandemic.
In detail, Bottega has defined a commercial agreement with the British group Arc (Arena Racing
Company) for the introduction of its restaurant format at Bath, Windsor and, with a pop-up formula
linked to specific events, for other racecourses in England.
