Fortnight Porter (12 oz)

From the "Can"

Porter was popularised in the 18th century by London's working classes, particularly by men that worked as actual porters, from where the name originates. Our Porter is made from the finest traditional ingredients, is well balanced, and has a medium body with subtle hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee.

The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.

Brewer's Exegesis

A beer made famous by the working class in the UK, Porter is smooth and lush. Layers of roastiness, chocolate and coffee await you with each pour. Medium bodied with a tan head that follows you down to the bottom of the glass, this beer is drinkable year round.
