Town Hall Lingonberry Milk Porter
No longer available on tap
June 29th thru July 6th
American Porter Description
Inspired from the now wavering English Porter, the American Porter is the ingenuous creation from that. Thankfully with lots of innovation and originality American brewers have taken this style to a new level. Whether it is highly hopping the brew, using smoked malts, or adding coffee or chocolate to compliment the burnt flavor associated with this style. Some are even barrel aged in Bourbon or whiskey barrels. The hop bitterness range is quite wide but most are balanced. Many are just easy drinking session porters as well. Courtesy of Beer Advocate.

Kris says The return of the lingonberry
August 25th, 2008
By some strange, but good, curveball thrown by the beer gods I was able to try this brew over the weekend (August 23 to be exact) while at Town Hall for pint club. Not sure if they ran across some extra or purposely reserved some. Either way, I was mighty excited to be able to give this a try. Unfortunately, even with a beautiful raspberry brown color staring out at me from the glass and a cranberry raspberry aroma wafting up I was disappointed. There was not as much overall flavor and not as much tartness as I had expected. The lactose was evident and that was pleasant. I’m still glad I got to try it but now less disappointed than I had been previously about missing it in July. I think with some work, this could be a good beer. I’m hoping they’ll try it again in the future.
