History XXXX Porter was first brewed in Autumn 1980 in a revival of a style of beer that was produced in huge volumes in London in the 18th Century. Although originally intended to be a year round brew it proved particularly popular during the colder months and is now a winter brew available from November - February.
XXXX Porter won Silver in its class at Camra's annual Winter Beer Competition in January 2002.
XXXX Porter is also available in bottles. In this version the beer undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and is in effect a real ale in a bottle.
XXXX Porter is also available in a 500ml bottle in our online store.
