## About

Founded in 1996 by Oliver Hughes & Liam Lahart, the Porterhouse Brewing Co. are Ireland's pioneers of craft beer. The two cousins Liam & Oliver were ahead of their time in opening one of Ireland's first brew pubs, in the heart of Dublin City, Temple Bar. Since then they opened a chain of successful bars in Dublin, London & New York while the brewery moved in 2000 to Damastown in north Dublin and then to a new facility in Glasnevin in 2017. This brewery was sold in 2023, though the brand and pubs remain with the original company. As of 2024, Porterhouse beers are contract brewed by other independent Irish breweries.
