Porterhouse Brewing Company launches new $7.4mn Dublin brewery

The Porterhouse Brewing Company has opened the doors to its new $7.4mn brewery in Dublin.

The new brewing facility will allow the Irish craft brewer to meet increased demand from export markets and allow it to experiment with new flavours and products.

The craft brewer, which produces beer for both retail and for its chain of six Porterhouse bars, said that the new facility would also helped it roll out its limited-edition beer, called Porterhouse Bounty Hunter that it is said to launch in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

The new facility will see the brewer relocate from its previous Dublin site to the bigger facility.

In the future, the site is also expected to offer a visitor centre with an events space for live music, parties, street food markets and corporate functions.

“The increased brewing and storage capabilities of the new site will give us the flexibility to produce and experiment further with flavour variation,” said Peter Mosley, Head brewer and director.

“We can create limited editions and seasonal brews, which will appeal to a wider audience of beer drinkers, while still meeting the demands for our core and already established beers.”

Established in 1989 by Liam La Hart and Oliver Hughes, the Porterhouse Brewing Company is an Irish craft brewer with bars in Bray and Dublin in Ireland, London and New York.
