Porterhouse Temple Bar - Blog

February 2012

Well the six nations is back again and we are revving up for Ireland to do us proud finishing up with one hell of a final on the 17th of March.

If you can’t get to the match, get down here 4 floors 4 screens and some crackin beers to boot. Speaking of which, have you tried the barrel aged celebration stout on draught? (yep you read correct on draught and ONLY in Temple bar).

As for the bands, the old reliable like the Kicking kings the Usual Suspects Rock Tribunal and of course Woodsey with a few new bloods breaking into the Porterhouse Temple bar family.

Check out the daily beer specials guaranteed a different beer from different parts of the world every day.

Oh and don’t forget Feb 14th - play nice with the other half, be cheeky bring them in for a meal and have a couple of sneaky new beers while you get brownie points - always pays to have a few in reserve.

Well it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in the Porterhouse Temple Bar. The place is decked out to the nines but still has a great cosy feel.

I am really looking forward to trying a few of the festive beers they brought in for the Christmas period, some are old friends like Sierra Nevada's celebration (always a good brew), and Hooke Norton's 12 days.

Some are hopefully going to become new friends I am really looking forward to sampling the anchor steam Christmas ale and the goose island mild winter. The other one that looks interesting and is coming in at a cracking 10% ABV is the St. Bernardus Christmas Ale.

There is a little whisper going around the bar that they are going to have a sample of the new barrel aged Celebration Stout on draught. If you don't manage to taste it on draught I believe it is going to be in bottle at a whopping 11% despite the label saying it is 10% scuttlebutt says that it picked up an extra kick from the whiskey cask.

I saw the Christmas band line up for December and was really happy to see Fritzafrenic back after doing an album. If you haven't seen these guys check them out - they do some great Madness tunes and a great version of Baker Street. As for the rest of the line up Oh Happy Days, The Goods, The Kicking Kings and rock tribunal, funk, rock and pure rock respectively with everybody being judged by ditch and the rest of the tribunal guys rocking the night away on new year's eve.

Anyway I've rabbitted on long enough - get off your keester and check out the beer and more importantly the vibe in Porterhouse Temple Bar. Ho Ho Ho!!!
