Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailLa Colada Coffee Porter

PORTER, DRINK OF THE 1700S PROLETARIAT, WAS ARGUABLY THE SOCIAL LUBRICANT THAT FORTIFIED THE UK’S INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. AFTER MAKING THEIR MARK ON LONDON’S WORKING CLASS, THESE BREWS KNOWN FOR KEEPING SPIRITS HIGH, WERE EXPORTED TO THE AMERICAN COLONIES. THE PORTER STYLE DOMINATED BREWING FOR OVER A CENTURY, BUT AS TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED AND CONSUMERS WANTED CLEARER BEER, THESE DARKER AND HEAVIER-BODIED BREW’S HOLD DIMINISHED AS THE POPULARITY OF PALE ALES AND LAGERS IN THE 1800S AND 1900S ROSE. PORTERS ARE ALSO THE ANCESTORS OF STOUTS AND BEFORE THE BIRTH OF THE WORLD FAMOUS GUINNESS STOUT, SIR ARTHUR GUINNESS’ BUSINESS MODEL WAS MASS-PRODUCTION OF PORTER. IT’S A CLASSIC TO US AND WE HOMAGE ITS ONE-TIME LOFTY PLACE AND CONSIDERABLE BLIP IN BREWING HISTORY BY BRINGING YOU OUR LA COLADA PORTER. IT’S BREWED IN A HOP-FORWARD STYLE FEATURING CUBAN COFFEE, A DEPTH OF TRADITIONAL MALT COMPLEXITY AND ROASTED NOTES THAT’S MUCH MORE THAN JUST NOSTALGIA.
