A revolution is happening in Ireland, with craft beer and cider producers and enthusiasts seeking to transform our drinking habits. In Sláinte, Caroline Hennessy and Kristin Jensen provide you with the knowledge to increase your enjoyment of craft beer and cider, while introducing you to the personalities behind the bottles and helping you to match it with food and use it in your cooking. As craft brewing and cider making grows in Ireland, there is a large audience of interested and active drinkers and brewers as well as less heavily involved but equally interested readers looking for information, advice and guidance that relates specifically to Ireland.
