Porter casts a long shadow on ale history. Spanning back to the early 1700's, Porter literally hit its stride and walked hand in hand with many of the great developments of industry and power within the British empire. Porter was the first mega-industrialized beer style brewed for the masses in a quickly developing imperialistic world and pioneering evolutions in brewing science can be traced back to this beer style. With rich roasty flavors and a dark brooding hue, the shadow of history is packed into each pint. Our prime directive is to faithfully and solemnly honor the deep historical significance of this wonderful beer style.
