Porters
 

I was surprised tonight at the liquor store. As a beer lover, and while trying to figure out which 6 pack of beer to pick up, I noticed in the top corner a beer I had not seen before. Michelob Porter.

I have never had a porter beer before, and was very surprised by the delicious taste that hit my palate. I tasted hints of nuts, caramel, chocolate, and espresso in every sip.

Before I realized it the 6 pack was gone, and I was at a loss... :(

So I went back to the liquor store and picked up another 6 pack just to be sure. I am almost done with the 2nd 6 pack and love this new sensation in my mouth. What is this Porter that I have been missing out on?

What is your favorite "Porter" style beer?

Anchor Porter
Plain Porter (available only in Ireland)
Black Boss Porter
Founders Porter

Re: Porters
 

Fullers London Porter is my favorite. Rich, dark, and creamy!!

Re: Porters
 

Maui brewing Coconut Porter. Just drank my last one the other day :(

Re: Porters
 

Not Michelob. :r

Rogue XS Imperial Porter
Rogue Mocha Porter

Re: Porters
 

I'm with Tom and the Founders Porter. It's a stellar porter. Also, Dark Horse Reserve Special Black is outstanding.:tu

Re: Porters
 

I will have to give the Dark Horse a try, Nate. :tu

Re: Porters
 

Just saw these at the grocery, I was like where did I hear about this before??..

My favorite 3 porters are Founders Porter, Deschutes Black Butte, and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. Not sure where you're located in SD, but if you're in the SFalls area it may be worth a drive over to MN. All 3 are available here.

Re: Porters
 

Warren, is the Black Butte an organic Porter?

Re: Porters
 

I enjoy Rogue Mocha Porter

Re: Porters
 

Tom, it does not appear to be organic. But, it is highly tastey. Here is a link to the Black Butte page on their website.

Re: Porters
 

Some porters that make my rotation quite often:

Bell's
Founder's
Duck Rabbit

Re: Porters
 

Smuttynose Robust porter, Anchor Steam Porter, and Sinebrychoff Porter are probably my three favs.

Re: Porters
 

I will add:
Central Waters Mudpuppy Porter
Ale Asylum Contorter Porter
Lake Louie Tommy's Porter
Three Floyds Topless Wytch

Re: Porters
 

Black Butte :tu

Re: Porters
 

Some good ones listed here. The two that really turned me on to this style years ago were Anchor Porter and Abita Turbodog (although not technically a porter, it's a great beer with a similar profile especially if you like the chocolate/nutty/espresso.)

Re: Porters
 

I've tried so many I've loved & never remember the names. But one in particular I really enjoy is a local microbrew here in Richmond, VA. Legend Porter.

Re: Porters
 

Sam Smith Taddy Porter, Yards General Washington Tavern Porter, and the Yuengling Porter ain't too bad either.

Re: Porters
 

Black Butte is a hard to come by porter. It is from Eugene Oregon. When I went to visit my friend in school, it was on tap everywhere. Wonderful stuff. Trader Joe's say they carry it, but the one in GA does not. I am still on the look out.:confused:


And yes I believe it is organic.

Re: Porters
 

Thanks, I thought I remembered the bottles I had saying "organic" on the label.

Re: Porters
 

I don't think its distributed here, but if it can be had Hop City or Greene's would be who to ask

Re: Porters
 

Sorry 76GTFan, the beer is not distributed in GA. Also it is not Organic.

Re: Porters
 

Pappy's Porter - Alchemist brew pub
Draymans porter - Berkshire brewing company

also love the Alaskan Smoked Porter but can't get those in VT

Re: Porters
 

If you ever drive through Utah, try the Polygamy Porter or The Devastator's Double Bock by Wasatch Beer in Salt Lake City.

Good beer in Utah. Who knew?

Re: Porters
 

So many porters to try! And I can't find a single one in a store around here.

So Sad.. :sad

Re: Porters
 

The Lady is correct. Deschutes Black Butte Porter is not organic.

Deschutes does make Green Lakes Organic Ale. Maybe you saw or remember Organic from this.

Re: Porters
 

I have to see if I still have the bottle in my garage, that is the only way I can confirm that I am not delusional.

Re: Porters
 

If someone has the internet I'm sure we can figure this thing out.:D

Re: Porters
 

Yes Blindjimmie, That is the orangic that they make.

Re: Porters
 

:r:r:r

I think i have it figured out. the beer in question is Deschutes Black Butte Porter which does not appear to be organic. However Butte Creek Brewing Company makes an Organic Porter...



On another note I picked up some Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter tonight :)

Re: Porters
 

That may take some doing.

Let me know if I can help, ADB.

Re: Porters
 

Deschuttes Black Butt
Breckenridge Vanilla Porter

Re: Porters
 

There you go, Albert, thank you! It was Butte Creek and not Black Butte. :tu

Now I know I am only mostly delusional. :r

Re: Porters
 

Delusion is how I get through most of my days :D

Re: Porters
 

Right on, my Friend...Only the insane are sane in an insane world. :)

Re: Porters
 

And that's why I hang out in an asylum :)

Re: Porters
 

We see eye to eye to eye, Albert. :r
