Joe Elliott Has Something Special Brewing

Joe has something very special for beer lovers out there

Joe Elliott is to launch his own beer in Dublin later this week.

The Down N Outz beer is brewed and bottled by the Porterhouse and will be launched on 15 September at The Porterhouse North Rock Garden in Glasnevin.

Joe says of the idea behind the beer: "Over the years I've noticed a lot of musicians putting their names to a variety of wines etc which, as nice as a glass of red or white is, well, it's not very rock and roll is it?!

"Beer or lager seem to be the drink of choice at nearly every gig I've ever played or attended so for me it's a much cooler thing to do and having seen how The Porterhouse put quality over quantity, I'm extremely happy to get involved with Oliver Hughes, Porterhouse MD and his gang."

Down 'n' Outz takes its name from Elliott's Mott The Hoople covering side project and is described as "a pilsner style" that has "a deep, rich malt character, with generous hop bitterness".
