The Greatest Porter in the World
Today's quest is to help narrow down the search for the best porter in the world. To do this we try nine different porters from throughout the country and compare and contrast the different styles within the style. We also take a look at trends in craft beer that should come to an end in the new year.

Wait a second...you did a Greatest Porter in the World episode and didn't call me for my participation? :( Another great episode and even better by the fact that you are sampling the best style of beer.... "PORTER". The Dirty Old Man sounds impressive and i'll have to look about scoring some of that. Being local in Ohio makes getting Hoppin' Frog quite easy and their Infusion A Coffee is outstanding. Let me know if you need some bottles and i'd be happy to send 'em your way. Looking forward to another show in 2 weeks...PS...just came back from Cancun and had a 12th of Never Ale by Lagunitas on a Southwest flight. I love getting good beer on Southwest! Here's to the next vacation and flight time on Southwest!
Somehow we managed to say the word "IPA" 32 times on a show that doesn't feature a single IPA. Impressive. I think.
