A pint please
Brewing beer is not a small task, just ask Arthur Guinness. Actually, don't. Ask Oliver Hughes instead. He owns The Porterhouse, Ireland's largest genuine Irish brewery, who, last night launched their annual StoutFest. He is also the new owner of Lillies Bordello, but I digress.
Running from March 10th until St. Patrick's Day, the festival is a showcase for the world's first Chocolate Truffle Stout (...mmmm), brewed specially by the Porterhouse Brewing Company, and a celebration of the Porterhouse's extensive range of unique stouts, ales and lagers.
I remember well my first ever visit to the Temple Bar branch (they now have places in Glasnevin, Wicklow and the U.K.). I ordered a pint of Bud, not realising that they brewed their own and didn't stock mass produced big brands. Knowledge is power I guess.
I'm off to the party of the year (so far) tonight. The first shop to open in the brand spanking new Dundrum Shopping Centre. H&M comes to town, and the girls in Presence PR have had people calling and begging for invites. Should be good.
Question of the day: Which married top radio and TV star was recently flirting with a beautiful girl at a party? While being very touchy-feely, he informed her that his wife was away for the weekend and asked her to come home with him. The (wise) girl politely declined his offer.
