Recipe – Porter
Porter originated in London around 3 centuries ago, so it has a quite long history. Where does the name come from?
Brown malt
The original brown – not to be confused with black – malt had enough enzymatic power to convert sugars.
Different Porter styles
Porters have been created as an answer to the lighter pale ales. They quickly turned into the beer of the working class.
