Ale Degustation presents English Porter: Firebrick Parson's Porter

Brewed by Firebrick Brewery

His image is depicted on a commemorative Irish silver 15 Euro coin.
A memorial to him, in red terracotta stands opposite Fenwick on Blackett Street in Newcastle City Centre, disguises a Metro ventilation shaft, and goes largely unnoticed by passers by; yet his main invention affected every aspect of modern life and went into production on Tyneside.
Far more should be known and shared about this Irish adopted son of Tyneside.
The eventual sad demise of North East engineering, invention and excellence should not cast a shadow on the genius works and legacy of Charles Algernon Parsons, and at Firebrick Brewery we raise a symbolic toast to him in the shape of our Parsons’ Stout Porter.
Stout Porters, Double Porters and Extra Porters were a common drink in the 19C.
Stout, double, or extra, meant strong or dark.
Later during successive world wars, grain rationing led to a reduction in beer alcohol content and Stout Porters dropped from six or seven percent ABV to around four percent.
They kept their colour dropped the word “Porter” and became Stouts.
Single Porters lost their place to these Stouts and dropped out of fashion, until they were revived by the American craft beer movement in the 1970s.
Our Stout Porter at 6% ABV is brewed following historical tradition; using large volumes of graded brown malts created at different roasting times, NOT with a small amount of black patent malt added to more productive base malt, which was the cost saving preference of brewers to produce porters after grain was taxed heavily following the Napoleonic wars!
Consequently it has a very complex character with coffee, biscuit, light chocolate, rum and raisin from the grains; and earthy and spicy notes from the hops.
