The Irish poet Flann O’Brien lauder porter, then known as plain, writing, “A pint of plain is your only man.” A few hundred years later the craft beer scene rescued “plain” from near obscurity, but today there’s little plain about it. Brewers are adding pumpkin, honey, vanilla, plum, and chocolate. At Nye Hill, we’ve added ginger and we think on a cold, damp Irish night, O’Brien would approve.
