Private & Group
Whether you’re planning a special celebration, corporate event, or simply want the brewery to yourselves, our private group experiences offer the perfect blend of authentic Irish hospitality and exceptional beer. From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, we’ll create a bespoke brewery visit that matches your group’s occasion and interests.
What You’ll Experience
A visit to Mescan Brewery is the perfect Experience for Corporate Events, Team Building, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Stag & Hen Parties, Family Gatherings, and more.
Your private group experience begins with the brewery exclusively focused on you and your party. We’ll extend our usual tour format to give your group more time to explore, ask questions, and truly understand the craft behind our award-winning, Belgian-style beers. The relaxed pace means everyone can engage fully with our brewers and absorb the stories, techniques, and passion that drive everything we do.
What sets our private group experiences apart from our regular weekly tours is the carefully curated, premium food-pairing element. Instead of the usual light snacks served with the beers, you’ll enjoy Irish cheese, charcuterie and other seasonal delicacies – all sourced from renowned local bistro, Savoir Fare – each one carefully chosen to complement each beer in the range. As you taste through our collection, you’ll discover how the right food partnership can elevate both the beer and the cuisine, showcasing the depth and versatility of traditional Belgian brewing styles.
The atmosphere is entirely yours to shape – whether that’s a lively celebration, thoughtful corporate team-building, or an intimate gathering of beer enthusiasts. We adapt our approach to match your group’s energy while ensuring everyone leaves with a deeper appreciation for carefully crafted beer and unforgettable memories of their time at Mescan.
