Grafton Porter: A Robust and Flavorful Irish-Style Porter Grafton Porter, a creation of the renowned Galbraith's Brewing Company, is a captivating dark ale that pays homage to the rich history of the porter style. This pitch-black brew takes its name from the building that once housed the Grafton Library and the iconic Grafton Street, one of Dublin's main thoroughfares. Boasting an alcohol volume of 5.0%, this porter offers a full-bodied and complex flavor profile. The blend of carefully selected malts creates a delightful roasty aroma and taste, complemented by a bittersweet finish that lingers on the palate. The addition of multiple hop varieties during the brewing process adds depth and balance to this exceptional ale. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Grafton Porter is a true representation of the Irish love affair with the porter style, which evolved from the popular "entire butt" beer enjoyed by market porters in London during the late 1700s. This beer is a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic style, which in some parts of Ireland is still fondly referred to as "porter." Whether you're a seasoned porter enthusiast or exploring new beer horizons, Grafton Porter promises to deliver a satisfying and memorable drinking experience.
