USA, WI: Big Bay Brewing Co. introduces a limited-edition winter porter

Big Bay Brewing Co. on December, 21 introduced a winter porter, Portside, the third limited edition brew from the Shorewood company, The Business Journal reports.

Portside, available last winter on a limited test basis, will be available through the winter at Wisconsin retailers, bars and restaurants. The company previously launched limited editions of Long Weekend IPA and Summer Tide, a wheat beer, it said.

Like its British ancestors, Big Bay Brewing’s deep brown Portside features an aromatic malt flavor with hints of chocolate, toffee and coffee.

“Porters are a good fit for long, cold winters like the ones we have in Wisconsin. While all of our beers are meant to be enjoyed year-round, we wanted to offer a distinctive, hearty beer that’s well-suited for the coldest months,” said Jeff Garwood, Big Bay Brewing Co. co-founder and managing partner.
