WHAT’S ON TAP

Here’s a look at what’s been brewing at Glasstown, and what is currently on tap for you to enjoy.

AROMA: Tropical Fruit, Floral, Dank

STOUT

DRY STOUT, 5.0% ABV

STYLE: Dry Stout

AROMA: Chocolate, Coffee, Grassy, Floral

FLAVOURS: Roasted Chocolate and Hint of Coffee

  • Stout is a dark, top-fermented beer with a number of variations, including but not limited to: dry stout, oatmeal stout, milk stout and imperial or American stout. The first known use of the word stout for beer, in a document dated 1677 found in the Egerton Manuscripts, referred to its strength. The name porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark brown beer. Because of the huge popularity of porters, brewers made them in a variety of strengths. The stronger beers, typically 7% or 8% alcohol by volume (ABV), were called ‘stout porters’ so the history and development of stout and porter are intertwined, and the term stout has become firmly associated with dark beer, rather than just strong beer.
