Around 80,000 kegs of beer have been delivered to pubs across the country ahead of this weekend.
That's according to a survey conducted by Drinks Ireland, which says suppliers are working overtime to keep up with demand.
It says some pubs are being restocked for the first time in two years.
Drinks Ireland spokesperson, Jonathon McDaid, says it's a big weekend for the industry:
"It is the first time that people will be able to reconnect with the hospitality sector in a meaningful way, where you have a Friday and Saturday of full trade without any restrictions.
"This survey was conducted at the same time as Drinks Ireland has launched its online 'together again' campaign.
"The campaign tries to encourage people to support their favourite local venues."
