has a wonderfully interesting porter called Coconut Hiwa, which has all the tradition of a dark ale with an interesting hint of roasted coconut and mocha. What is there to say about this beer aside from, “If you know, you know.”Ĭhristian Taibi, head mixologist at The Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club in Honolulu, Hawaii It offers dark malty notes including chocolate and medium roast coffee. This porter is dark and toasty with a touch of effervescence while maintaining a creamy mouth feel. Nestled in Vermont cheese country, this passionate bunch is putting out magical brews. If you haven’t heard about this brewery, you’re missing out. Hill Farmstead Everett Porter Hill FarmsteadĬhevy Farrell, beverage director for No Man’s Land in Fort Lauderdale, Florida It’s a chocolate and peanut butter porter that tastes so good during the cooler months here in Philly. My pick is Purple Monkey Dishwasher from one of our local breweries in Philadelphia, Evil Genius Beer Company. Evil Genius Purple Monkey Dishwasher Porter Evil GeniusĮd Watt, bartender at Sabroso + Sorbo at The Notary Hotel in Philadelphia It’s classic, rich, and always there for you any time of year. There’s a reason it’s one of the best-selling porters on the market. It’s robust, chocolaty, and silky all at the same time. Founders Porter Foundersīrendan Pineda, manager and buyer at Plumpjack Wine & Spirits in San Francisco It has great elements of chocolate and coffee without being too overbearing. My favorite porter to drink in the fall and winter would be Funky Buddha’s Last Snow. Lauren Navarro, head bartender at Apothecary 330-A Cocktail Bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Not to mention it compliments pretty well with the smores everyone is usually roasting by the firepits.įunky Buddha Last Snow Porter Funky Buddha I encourage guests to sip on this brew while taking in the beautiful mountain scenery while sitting at our outdoor, wood-burning fire pits onsite. Breckenridge Nitro Vanilla Porter BreckenridgeĪustin Sheffield, bartender at 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grille in Beaver Creek, Coloradoīreckenridge Brewery Nitro Vanilla Porter is a local brew made just right down the road from our hotel.

Russian River Shadow of a Doubt Porter Russian RiverĬhristopher Rodriguez, lead bartender at Lucy Bar in Yountville, CaliforniaĪverage Price: $7 for a 16.9-ounce bottle It’s a perfect beer to drink while the leaves are falling in your backyard while firing up the BBQ. I love a porter that brings nutty and coffee flavors and this porter brings both. Lewis Caputa, lead bartender of Rosina inside The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas It is roast forward in profile with pleasing coffee and chocolate undertones and a slight chalky ash finish. Named for the ship that met a tragic ending, this ale is a benchmark for the style and is never out of fashion. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Great LakesĬhristian Beretta, bartender at South Seas Island Resort in Captiva, FloridaĪ new favorite is the Great Lakes Brewing Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Keep scrolling to see all of their picks so you know what to stock up on in the coming months. We asked a handful of well-known bartenders to tell us the one porter they’ll be drinking this fall and winter. To find the best examples, we’ve once again turned to the bar professionals. It may sound like a lot of detail but, in the end, it’s more fun to just try a few and go with the flow until you find the one that you really like. From there, things can vary as significantly as any beer style with yeasts, hops, water, and even aging all coming into play. It mostly comes down to how deeply malted the barley is for the mash - with stout malts often getting a harder/hotter roast during that process. And while stouts and porters used to be pretty much the same thing, modern incarnations do vary. We’re focusing on that latter style today. There might be a Saison, likely an IPA or two (there are always a few IPAs), perhaps a lager or pils, maybe an end-of-the-season pumpkin ale, a stout, and maybe even a porter. Any trip to a craft brewery usually means buying a flight of seasonal beers.
