A Porter-ish Southern Brown with some rye notes.

"Robust Porter made with pale, crystal, chocolate and beechwood smoked malts. Medium bodied dark ale with chocolate overtones, moderate bitterness and an overtly smoky character.

Rye Porter/Stout

Chocolate and Black Patent malts

The Flat12 Porter is inspired by the robust porters favored by the Industrial-age working men of Europe. We chose to emphasize balance from a combination of dark grains including brown malt, which was the primary roasted grain of the time. This Flat12 creation is smooth and balanced with slight roast and chocolate notes, yet it’s not heavy, just like a good porter should be.

Sumatra Blue Lington coffee from local roaster Partridge & Quigley is added. East Kent Goldings hops.

brewed with Hubbard & Cravens Coffee

This beer is brewed as a traditional English Style Porter. We use the best malts and hops to create a distinctive American interpretation of this classic beer style. Our Porter stands on its own as a great beer, then we add one more ingredient to make it truly unique. Coconut is added during the boil to give this beer a nutty flavor that blends perfectly with the style.

For Easter, we throw in the garnish on our Holiday Glazed Ham Porter recipe. Flavors of Pineapple and Maraschino cherry produce a sweet and smooth finish. Mmmmm, Glazed Ham. It conjures up memories doesn’t it, or perhaps strange food fetishes? No matter, from this day forward it should conjure up a taste memory of one helluva seasonal robust porter from Flat12. Our Glazed Ham Porter balances the spices of a favorite holiday platter and the deep roasted malt of the finest porter. Next Christmas, volunteer to bring the Glazed Ham…in a glass, everyone will thank you for their favorite gift of the season.

Brewed using several specialty malts balanced with three hop varieties, it has a deep rich color with a touch of sweetness and a robust flavor and full texture.

"A beer so dark it collapsed in on itself"

The porter style takes its name from the dock workers and street laborers of London who favored the style in the days when it was first developed in the 18th century. In the spirit of these hardworking men, Bad Elmer personifies the hardy settlers of the rugged and heavily wooded land of southern Indiana, referred to as the "uplands. Bad Elmer's Porter is a medium-bodied beer, brewed with lot of roasted malt, giving it flavors of coffee, liquorice, and chocolate. This porter is characteristically dark but extremely smooth.

Alpha Klaus is Alpha King’s festive cousin. A big American Christmas Porter brewed with English chocolate malt, Mexican sugar and of course, tons of strange American hops. Cheers! November release.
