A fireside chat with pat cooney
We close our festival by the quiet glow of the fire, where stories are shared that linger long after the flames fade. Join us for an intimate chat with Pat Cooney, founder of Boann Distillery — a man whose life and craft are steeped in Irish whiskey. Each guest will receive a pint of Bermingham's famous stout, and a whiskey sample, hand-selected by Pat himself to embody the very heart of Boann: their passion, their craftmanship, heritage, and their plans for the future.
A afternoon not of spectacle, but of soul — where the glass in your hand carries the weight of tradition, and the man beside the fire reminds us why it endures.
