In this special episode, supported by Bord Bia, we ventured to Bloom in the Park on the June bank holiday weekend, where we curated three pairings from the huge array of Irish food and drink producers that were present for the event.

We were joined by each producer pairing as follows:

• Kinsale Mead Co. and Burren Smokehouse
• Micíl Cream Liqueur and Áine's Chocolates
• Cooleeney Farmhouse Cheese with Ballykilcavan Craft Beer

Co-hosted as always by Oisín Davis and Dee Laffan.

We hope you enjoy listening!

Our first episode focuses on the garden county as we pair two different Wicklow drinks with two different Wicklow foods. We picked up some amazing Ridgeway wagyu beef, cooked and served by Barry Walllace of Dash Burger, and paired with Wicklow Wolf Brewery's Solstice Tropical Sour.
The other pairing featured Ballyhubbock Farm's sheep's milk halloumi cheese alongside a cocktail made with raspberry wine from Wicklow Way Wines and Powerscourt Distillery's Fercullen Falls whiskey.
