http://boomcraftbeer.com/index.html Something new I saw in the beer ailse today. Didn't pick any up, but I did grab the last 4-pack of Founders Breakfast Stout. I might try the Imperial Pilsner next week. They had a lot on the shelves.
Very cheesy/generic labeling usually means one thing.... Extraordinary beer! Just look at Hop Wallop.
wow that just looks bad. It reminds me of the type of label you would see on candy. Also "chocolate Stout Porter"? I guess they couldn't make up their mind on how to classify it.
I think the term "stout porter" was original term for a stout (ie. a porter that was stout in quality).
Not to mention that it's fermented with lager yeast. Perhaps the baltic porter moniker would have fit better.
Don't know how accurate this is. http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/09/beer-myth-porter-stout-history-truth-three-threads-names.html What I get out of it is that Stout was once used to denote a stronger or higher quality porter, but that over time what we call porter ended being typically slightly stronger than what typically call dry stout. Or something like that. Also, that there is a fair bit of overlap between commercial examples "porter" and "stout," and that what one brewery would label as a stout, another might label as a porter. jesskidden?
Ha, had one yesterday. All's I gotta say is it was much better than that Hop Stoopid I had last week, which turned into a drain pour. YUCK!!
