I have to admit I've only ever had both of these on tap. The 5Lamps used to be available in Rock Lobster, formerly above Kielys, now in Dundrum. They served it in metal tankards, for some reason; but it was pretty good. The Porterhouse lager I think I've had a couple of times in one of their pubs, but it was years ago and I have no memory of it.

Oh I don't like this at all. It's got that sharpness I don't like in a beer, and which I don't remember from the draught.
Porterhouse Hersbrucker Pilsner
Yum. Now that the mahoosive head has died down I can taste some malty sweetness and a little hoppiness to counterbalance it. Very nice and very well balanced.
Winner - Porterhouse Hersbrucker Pilsner
