Birthday Beverage: Washington's Porter from Alewerks

Birthday Beverage: Washington's Porter from Alewerks

 

I hope that George Washington would appreciate my selection of Washington's Porter to celebrate his birthday. Today has been a day of shoveling snow and breaking up ice to clear our walkways.

When you visit Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, allow time to visit Alewerks Brewing Company for their beer tasting. This is a good way to discover new favorites among the offered craft beers. One of my favorites from Alewerks is Washington's Porter and I suggest that you give it a try. 

Style: American Porter

Description: Very dark brown/black in color with and aroma of chocolate and malt and flavors of caramel, sweet chocolate and a touch roasted barley. ABV: 6.5%  

Composition: 2-row, Crystal, Chocolate, and Biscuit malts with a touch of Roast Barley. American Fuggle hops.

Roy,

How fun, what I love about all those crafted ales is the uniqueness of their labels and the brands they come up with.  I like this one. A

Roy,  Sounds very interesting.   I love how you venture out from the standard brands and try something new.  Be careful with all that shoveling.

What an absolutely perfect post for Washington's birthday. I'll be sure to let Bernie ( my husband, the beer drinker) know about his label. Have a great Sunday, Roy.

Roy, I like the sounds of this Washington's Porter. Yesterday sounded like a bad weather day for sure for many folks in the path of this latest storm. Stay safe and warm

Hi Roy -- I know very little of craft beers but I do appreciate the efforts you put forth in finding these great discoveries.  This one is especially appropriate in honor of our first President.

Sounds good to me Roy. I love to try Washington's Porter from Alewerks, I enjoy a good brew with some body to it and I bet this Porter is nice and thick. I will say Cheer's to good old George Washington in his memory.

It is sometimes a good practice to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for current posts.
