5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, especially for all-grain brewers., July 23, 1998

This review is from: Porter (Classic Beer Style) (Paperback)

Foster details the history of porter including the techniques which were used to make "traditional" porter. He includes recipes, in both extract and all-grain, for duplicating what porter must have tasted and looked like from an historical basis. If you're interested in brewing porter, this is a must read.

Pleasant little book to read, gives you quite a bit of history and description of the beer type. Good enough to give the curious an idea of whether or not they'll want to drink or make the stuff but does not give the uninitiated enough information to do the brewing. You will learn a lot though.
