We had a chance to sample this beer again, and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve had the opportunity to try it several times over the years, and it’s always been great. Steve was kind enough to share it with us in a video epsiode. English Porter Homebrew Recipe and Review
Originally based off of a discussion about a Black Butte Porter clone on “Can you Brew It?” from the Brewing Network, Steve has been tweaking it for awhile now. It won Best of Show at the 2014 Great Arizona Homebrew Competition.

This is based on the Black Butte Porter recipe discussed on the Brewing Networks show Can You Brew It.
I just won Best of Show in the 2014 Great Arizona Homebrew Competition with this recipe and in the 1st round it scored a 43.
