Are they really? Seriously?Originally Posted by chefchris
I knew Porters and Stouts were the same thing, but thought there were distinct differences between ales and stouts.
We did:
Deschutes Brewery Mirror Pond Ale
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale
Stone IPA
Fantome Saison
Murphy's Stout
Stockyard Oatmeal Stout
Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter
Stone XII Anniversary Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
Can't find the list of cheeses, but with the darker beers, there were mostly goudas, and lighter beers there were lighter-bodied cheeses.

Yup.
A beer is either an Ale or a Lager.
Some ale examples are Pale ale, IPA, Porter, Brown, Stout, and Barleywine.
Some lager styles are Pilsner, Märzen, Bock, and California Common.
And porters and stouts are not the same thing. They can often be very similar. It gets confusing. One of the main differences in that stouts contain roasted barley. But then again, it's become widely acceptable to have roasted barley in porters. My robust porter contains a small amount. Porters came first and were often a more brown color. They used brown malt, usually up to 100% of the grain bill. Stouts later came and nearly wiped out the Porter from it's 200 year reign.
How did you like the Stone XII Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout? I've been looking for it forever.

love beer, wish I wasn't such a poor college student though. Mostly I'm drinking natty light, coors, or miller lite if I'm real luckyWhen I'm home though I have a few with my dad and I enjoy molsen goldens, heineken(sp?), etc. He doesnt stock anything too crazy but it works for me.
Ugh, I hate living in such a hicktown. I started drinking beer about 2-3 years ago with my brother and his friends who always drank fuller flavored beers like Sam Adams and such, so that is what I like as well. Everyone around here drinks nothing but light domestic macros, most commonly Bud Light. I don't have a problem with that in its self, people can drink whatever they want for all I care. The problem arises when I ask someone who is going out to pick me up a 6pack of Sam Adams, or Killians or Widmer (my all time favorite thus far, I'm a huge fan of their Hefeweizen) and it seems like all they hear is "Bud Light". I've eve tried to simplify it for them since many of the brews I ask for they have probably never heard of. I'll ask for Bud Select, and still I get Bud Light. I would just order a brew kit and make my own if the cops didn't frequent my apartment due to the room mate's parties.

I don't think homebrewing is illegal there. Hefeweizens have a quick turn around and are good young.

I agree, home brewing is legal.

The cheapest beer usually reins supreme when in college. It was all Natty Ice, PBR and Miller Highlife when I was in college. I do still love PBR though. Right now the winter brews are my beers of choice. ATM Blue Moon- Full Moon is what I'm drinking.
Mongo like Sheriff Bart!
Homebrewing is still illegal some states.

PBR is an award winning beverage. I drank enough PBR in college to collect a full deck of poker card bottle caps. I could never do highlife, but keystone was another classic cheap beer.

True. The difference is what type of yeast is used. Bottom or top fermenting.Yup.

And also fermentation temperature.
I tried the Yuengling Porter once. I couldn't finish it.

A Stout is a type of ale that uses roasted / chocolate malt.
How was the Stone XII chocolate stout? I've been on the hunt for their Vertical Epic, I found it once this year and its eluded me since. Since we are in 2009, I believe it will be re-released 9-9-09. Definately one to look out for.
