Def Leppard star launches own beer
Saturday 11 September 2010
Down 'n' Outz takes its name from Elliott's musical side project and is described as "a pilsner style" that has "a deep, rich malt character, with generous hop bitterness".
The launch takes place on Wednesday, 15 September at The Porterhouse North Rock Garden in Glasnevin.
Brewed and bottled by The Porterhouse, the beer will be available in all Porterhouse bars.
Commenting, Elliott said: "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."

- The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers
A bit like The Empire Strikes Back in the Star Wars trilogy, the second instalment of Peter Jackson's extraordinary vision of Middle Earth is the best. We begin in the hills of Emyn Muil, where lost Hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) discover they are being followed by the mysterious Gollum (Andy Serkis). Across Middle-earth Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), the Elf archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli the Dwarf (John Rhys-Davies) encounter the besieged Rohan kingdom, who's once great King Theoden (Bernard Hill) has fallen under Saruman's deadly spell through the manipulations of his spy, the sinister Wormtongue (Brad Dourif). All visually stunning stuff but perhaps the most heart-stopping scene in the whole movie is the return of that wily old wizard Gandalf, now reborn as Gandalf the White following his cataclysmic fight with the Balrog. Cracking stuff.
