This months beer blogging session is titled porter. We’re supposed to talk about the style in whatever capacity we feel is appropriate and quite simply, I forgot. So tonight I was in the supermarket desperately looking for a porter to drink.
The Guinness was nice by the way.
It is amazing how few porters there are available in British supermarkets. In fact I could only find one, Guinness West Indies Porter. It is amazing that so few are available. There are loads of IPA’s but nearly no porters. Is the style doomed? There are a few stouts (mostly other Guinness brands or equivalent competition). My question, are dark beers really just for beer geeks because the powers that be think most people dont want to drink it. I have no answers. Does anyone else?
