Opened in 1996 on Parliament Street, the Porterhouse Temple Bar was the first Brew Pub to open in Dublin.
It was also the first pub in the city to resolutely refuse to serve internationally recognised brands, trusting the pub-going public to embrace its own produce, plus a selected range of Irish and International beers.
Two decades on, that trust has proved to be well founded. Five years after setting up in Temple Bar, capacity issues necessitated a move to a standalone brewery In Ballycoolin, North Dublin.
The continued expansion of the Porterhouse Group combined with an increasing demand for craft beer has meant a move to a 30000HL state-of-the-art facility and a visitor centre in Glasnevin.
