Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery – The People’s Porter
ABV 5%, IBU = 26
As a person who can be quite picky when it comes to her Porters, I LOVE a good one when I find it. The People’s Porter brewed by Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery is no exception.
A dark looking beer with a sweet, rich coffee nose – with the first sip you’ll notice the light texture yet full bodied flavor, followed by a joyous rush of smoky coffee balanced by light bitterness and spice.
Brewed with fair trade, locally grown, organic, cold pressed, coffee beans, the aroma and flavor of the quality coffee definitely shines through.
The brew also contains vanilla beans, creating a perfectly balanced caffeinated Porter.
The People’s Porter is available in 22-ounce bottles. Find the beer near you
