Porter

American style

This hearty ale warms to the occasion, whether that’s watching the game or after a day on the slopes. Brewed in our signature hop-forward American style, Porter’s malt complexity features roasted notes of black coffee and cocoa.

Stout vs. Porter

While they’re both dark and delicious, porters arrived on the brew scene before stouts. Invented as a fortifying drink for the rough-and-tumble working class of London, its popularity spread, and soon malt-driven porter was the beer of choice in the British Isles.
 

After upping the alcohol percentage, a “stout porter” was born, and eventually, this beer felt confident enough to drop its last name. Centuries later, craft brewers still push the boundaries of each style — and we can’t pick a side!
