Brewpub: The Porterhouse
 

To all that have been, drink beer or live in Ireland........

My wife and I keep a running list of places we've visited that brew on premise. Does anyone know if The Porterhouse in Bray (Co. Wicklow) brews onsite?

I have read that they did at one time, now no longer do. If so, when did they stop brewing there?

Please help......need to figure out if this can stay on our list.

The porterhouse does brew it's own beer, but I don't think onsite in Bray somehow!

Well, 1st, I'd like to see your list. It sounds interesting. I think as they have expanded, they have consolidated to one site and I'm not sure where that is, I do not believe it is onsite in Bray.

There is one in Temple Bar that is very central and if you are in Dublin it may be more convenient. They used to brew in Temple Bar but not sure if its all offsite brewing. Had a special edition Chocolate stout a while back and it was so tasty...weird like a truffle/stout combo but tasty. Its still unique for irelandf so give it a go.

I was in the Porterhouse in Temple Bar in February, and they had a note that all their brewing is now done at one site out of town.

Thanks for the assistance. If anyone gets hard confirmation that the Bray location indeed does not brew onsite, let me know.
