Porterhouse Craft Beer and Spirits Festival 2014

The annual springtime celebration of independent Irish beers and spirits begins across the Porterhouse estate from 10th April, running to the 27th. During this period, beers will be available from Rascal’s, N17, Kinnegar, Metalman, Hilden, Galway Hooker, Carlow, Trouble, Mountain Man and more. It will also see the return of The Porterhouse’s own much-loved Chocolate Truffle Stout.

Beer isn’t the whole story, now that the Dingle Distillery is part of the Porterhouse family. The Celtic Whiskey Shop — arguably Dublin’s most-respected spirits retailer — will be hosting craft spirits tasting in various Porterhouse pubs over the course of the festival, in addition to the beer tastings run by producers and distributors. Keep an eye on the Porterhouse’s social media for details of tastings.
