Beer brings people together, and one of the best things about this industry is the high level of camaraderie, not rivalry.

It`s dark beer season, so here`s a Dark Beer Quiz!
Do you know the difference between an Irish Porter and a Baltic Porter?
They are in the same family, but are very different beers.
Irish Porter — the sessionable end of the family. Dark brown, dry and roasty with coffee and chocolate notes, a light body, and low hop presence. It`s low ABV. Padraigs is 5.2% and drinks a lot like an Irish stout: made for having more than one.
Baltic Porter — the strong end. It started as English porter shipped to the Baltic states in the 1700s, eventually breweries in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Scandinavia started making it themselves — Typically 6.5–9.5% ABV. Craft breweries now add all sorts of flavors. It drinks closer to a barleywine than to a session porter.
In one line: Irish porter is about dryness and drinkability; Baltic porter is about strength and richness.
Stop in for a Padraigs NE Porter, or two.
