I Brewed My FIRST PORTER IN THREE YEARS, and it's AWESOME! (Award Winning)
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2023-03-06

It's been 3 years since I last brewed a porter, what's up with that? Well, today that changes, now I'm back in black. This is one of my favorite beers to drink, so this time I was determined to knock it out of the park. UPDATE: This beer went on to compete in the final round of the 2023 National Homebrew Competition, with a Mini-Best of Show Silver in my region!
