1 Porter and Stout PUBS January, 2014 General Meeting

2 Porter and Stouts  Style originated in the early 1700's by blending beers - ale, mild beer and stale.  First brewed in 1722 to mimic the blended style.  Took on the name of "Porter" as it gained popularity with the working class.  Primarily brewed with Brown Malt.  By 1812 five London breweries were producing over 120,000 barrels annually, with one brewery, Barclay Perkins turning out 270,000 barrels. The largest London ale brewery only produced 20,000 barrels annually.

3 Porter and Stout  Strong Porters developed from the first mash runnings became very popular. These were known as "Stout" Porters. Thus the creation of the Stout style.  Porters where generally age 5 to 6 months before served. To speed the process, or "harden" the beer, breweries began to blend new "mild" porters with aged stale porters.  Some breweries use sulfuric acid as a cheap way to harden beer.  As beer taxation rose, brewer started to add molasses and burnt sugar to make up for color and alcohol loss due to less malt being used.

4 Porter and Stout  After almost 100 years after it's inception, porter brewers began to use pail and amber malts. Color additives used to darken the beer.  1817, Daniel Wheeler, invented a roasting process that used a drum and water mist to produce a deeply, almost charcoal like, roasted malt call "Black Patent Malt".  This malt allowed brewers to darken their porters and stouts using just a small amount.  In the mid 1800's the popularity of porter began to wain due to the growing popularity of pale ales.

5 Porter and Stout  While Stouts popularity continued, by the early 1900's Porters had basically disappeared until revived by small breweries in the US and UK.  Today Porters and Stouts Styles are very similar and there is very little differentiation between the two styles accept for a few of the subcategories.
