BALTIC PORTER
Baltic porter is a Polish dark beer style known for its complex malt character and flavor notes of caramel, toffee and dried fruit. It’s stronger than a traditional English porter, typically landing at around 8% ABV. The style’s origin dates back to the 1800’s when Britain began exporting their porters across the Baltic Sea. Porters became so popular in Poland that local brewers attempted to brew it on their own. Due to the cold climate, however, the Polish brewers upped the malt bill and replaced the porter’s ale yeast with lager yeast (which ferments at a lower temperature), reinventing the style as a Baltic porter.
January 18 - Baltic Porter Day - 12 - 9 p.m., free to attend and all ages - see you there!
