    Their Celebration Stout however, I would do unspeakable acts to get my hands on some.

    Recently I've tried the PH Central, Deveneys and a few other spots and not a drop of it was to be had :/

    I have one of the original bottles of it.

    A couple of years ago, drinkstore had bottles of it was was out of date. €1 per bottle, so €24 a case. I got three cases. Since it was a year out of date, it came in pre-cellared condition. Best beer bargain ever.

    Only a few bottles left these days.

    The original, original one in a 50cl bottle?
    10%abv iirc. Made around 2006/2007.

    That was a cracking beer after a bit of bottle ageing!

    That's the one. Have it in my hand now. It for the 10th anniversary of the porterhouse. That would make it 2006 I believe.

    Yep. October. I remember phoning PH Central every week to find out if it was ready yet.20150425_122906_zpsfgvavfly.jpg

    Drinkstore has it too.

    It's not quite the same as the original one but still a lovely beer.

    I was in Maguires in Athlone last night. They had a couple of kegs this year. Although the ran out a couple of weeks ago. They plan to have more kegs next year if anyone is passing through.

    Are they aware that the brewery is out of it?
