International Stout Day 6th November
This is an annual celebration of a type of beer known as stout. Stouts were developed from porters in the 1700’s. Porter beer is a dark beer evolving from English brown ales. It is a type of dark beer that is warm fermented and includes various styles such as oatmeal stout, milk stout and imperial stout. The term “stout” was first used in the 17th century to refer to strong beers. Stouts are known for their rich flavours, often with notes of coffee, chocolate and caramel.
The beer became popular in the city of London especially with Porters (hence its name) it had a strong flavour, took longer to spoil than other beers and was cheaper.
After the First World War milk stout was claimed as nutritious helping nursing mothers increase their milk production and helping the weak and infirm. There are antioxidant, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre.
