Porter is a kind of strong, dark-colour beer that is made with malts (dark malts in particular) and special kind of yeast. And there were some historians’ accounts that the original name of beer is porter.

Porter has been made popular in London during the 18th century since the beer can be produced quickly and can be brewed by almost everybody evident by the number of microbreweries in London during that time. Porter was also one of the beers of choice in the United States during that time but breweries saw a decline in its production on the succeeding years.

However, porter was seen to have made a revival for the past 15 years since macro and microbreweries alike are starting to produce such beer due in part, to its low production cost, great sweet taste and fast to produce and taste can be from strong (bitter), medium to sweet.

Strong porter, known as stout, was seen to be very dark due to the concentration of malt in it hence making it more concentrated than a regular porter. Among porter’s popular brand are Fuller’s London Porter, Anchor Porter by Anchor Brewing Co. and London Porter by Arcadia and Samuel Smith’s, The Famous Taddy Porter.
