Hi All,
The Porterhouse have been in contact and would like to tell us all about the new beer they will be releasing for the summer.

In response to growing interest in American style pale ales the Porterhouse has decided to resurrect a beer from our past. Based on a beer brewed somewhat ahead of its time, in our brewpub days, Hop Head is a highly aromatic, bitter, pale ale, made with the intention of satisfying the hop heads amongst us. Amber coloured, with a distinct malt character, generous use of hops for bittering and the triple addition of cascade and Hallertau Northern Brewer hops gives a conspicuous citrus character for both aroma and flavour. Along with a slightly higher alcohol content this results in a rich, fruity beer with oily, citrus hop character and wonderfully rich, full mouthfeel.
ABV 4.7%
Malts:
Pale Ale Malt
Crystal Malt
Wheat Malt
Black Malt
Furthermore, they would like to give us the opportunity to try this beer before it is released on an unsuspecting public and, to this end, have invited us to visit the brewery in Blanchardstown (Dublin 15).
The brewery visit will be at 7pm, on Wednesday the 11th of June and I am not sure what kind of restrictions apply to numbers so register your interest early.
