BeerNut, I have enough trouble trying to get around to posting you 4 beers already bottled! SInce the ALt has just been bottled that may have to get thrown into the box too.

Oblivious, what do you mean [i:2honoz3g]more[/i:2honoz3g] cornies? I need to get [b:2honoz3g]some[/b:2honoz3g]! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I will start dropping hints for my birthday... <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

Back on topic, the sooner our friends start bottling the better so I can open a new market for them over here.

I read that the Porterhouse group will start selling their beers in selected off licenses and a six pack will cost €14-15. The bottling line wasn't going to be operational until January 2009 so if all went to plan we should be seeing them soon.

I also read that the Porterhouse group are to open a whiskey distillery in Dingle focusing on the high end of the market - pot still triple distilled Irish whiskey; available from 2013 but their gin production will keep the wolves from the door until then.

Any news on this front..?

Is that a 6 pack of 500ml or 330ml bottles? 6 x 500ml for €15 seems fair enough, 6 x 330ml for €15 seems a tad on the steep side.

I really don't like having to buy six-packs, or sub-7% ABV beers in 33cl bottles.

Was it mentioned before here what size bottles they are doing?
