According to Albert Syeles, local event producer, St Augustine Celtic Music & Heritage Festival and Ancient City Brewing in St. Augustine have partnered to bring event attendees a debut of the brewery’s new Olde Celtic Stout.
Ancient City Brewing sponsors explain their original recipe was brewed in the style of a traditional Irish stout and produced exclusively for the Celtic Festival.
The Stout has a strong, dark pour and aromatics which include chocolate, cocoa and a slight maltiness. Ancient City Brewing owners said, “Be sure to grab one of the exclusive brews while they are still available only at the St. Augustine Celtic Festival.”

The Celtic Festival will present Bunratty Meade, the “enchanting” honey drink featured at the world-famous Bunratty Castle banquets in County Clare, Ireland. Made from a centuries-old recipe, Bunratty Meade has been enjoyed by millions of U.S. and global visitors since the 1980s. Bunratty Meade is crafted in small batches at the historic Bunratty Winery, a stone’s throw from the Castle.
For centuries, newlywed couples would celebrate their marriage by drinking honey meade for one full cycle of the moon after their wedding, hence the term ‘honeymoon.’ Bunratty Meade has been imported for more than 30 years and is available at retailers throughout Florida.
