At Sunflower Public House · 65 Union Street, Belfast, Co. Antrim, BT1 2JG
The Sunflower Public House on Union Street hosts the launch of Treble Brewing and Blending, a new addition to Belfast’s microbrewery scene, organised by Jennifer Noble. Over four hours, guests get the chance to meet the brewery’s founders in person and sample their first beers, with each ticket including a branded glass to take home and entry into a raffle for brewery merchandise. It is a celebratory, informal launch rather than a structured tasting flight, held in one of Cathedral Quarter’s best-known independent pubs, itself long associated with supporting Northern Ireland’s smaller and newer breweries on its guest taps and beer garden. For anyone tracking Belfast’s fast-growing craft beer scene, a brewery’s opening night is usually the first chance to taste a new producer’s beers before they reach wider distribution, and to hear directly from the people making them about how the brewery came together, what equipment and ingredients they are working with, and what they plan to brew and blend next as the operation grows.
The launch adds another name to a Belfast brewing scene that has grown steadily over recent years, with small producers increasingly finding their first audience through independent pubs willing to give a new brand its opening night rather than through supermarket listings. Union Street sits in the heart of Cathedral Quarter, surrounded by other bars and restaurants that regularly host similar producer nights, so the launch is also a chance to make the rounds of the area before or after the main event.
The Sunflower is in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, a short walk from Belfast Central and Great Victoria Street rail stations and well served by every city-centre bus route. The nearest public car parks are on Corn Market and York Street, both within a few minutes’ walk.
