Why isn't stout more popular? You'd think beer with more alcohol would be in demand.

[Anonymous No.15758027]

because most beer drinkers in the us prefer either cheap weak piss water like bud or some hipster ipa that's overloaded with hops to cover up the taste of it actually being cheap piss water.

Probably because they bought into the memes and tried drinking Dogfish Head first because 'a moron on the internet hyped it'. Dogfish Head is TERRIBLE and tastes eerily like Steel Reserve. There are many fantastic IPAs but Dogfish is not one of them. However Dogfish was heavily, heavily shilled to hipsters looking to not only get hammered but to feel all bourgeois doing it.

It depends where you are but stout have been very popular in UK but not so much in countries like belgian where they prefer their dark beer without roasted malt. Personally I prefer the Belgian way of doing it.

In US people like IPA, and stout taste nothing like it so it's not very surprising it's not that popular.

Only technically importated because the Guinness sold in the US is actually brewed in Canada, not Ireland.

All Guinness in the world originates as unfermented wort extract made in St. James' Gate in Dublin, which is then shipped around the world to regional brewing sites where the extract is hydrated and fermented into the final product.

there really isn't, stouts have roasted malts where porters don't, that's about it
the flavor profile can overlap so greatly that you wouldn't be able to tell if something is a porter or a stout by taste alone necessarily
but IN GENERAL, I suppose stouts have more "burnt" flavoring and porters are more malty
But again, people who say they like one vs the other more than likely found a good porter/stout they liked, looked at whether it was a porter/stout, then declared that the beer style of their favorite beer > the other beer style

lol, I know. It's just something I say when one of my biz-buddies makes a sessionable stout or an imperial porter. Even the roasted/black malt thing isn't true 100% of the time - it's almost a bacon-level cheat to use a pinch of black malt or roasted (unmalted) barley, and no high-L crystal or heavy/foamy malts to get some dark 'porteriness' into what would otherwise be a dark blonde or red ale. For my own stuff (the stuff I spearhead at the brewery and the stuff I make in my kitchen), if the end result is heavy and opaque, I call it a stout. If it's lighter and I can see through a pint of it, I call it a porter.

That line in particular started when I dropped off a keg of Germanned up "Dubliner Porter" to my local bar last year just before (everything closed for) St. Paddy's. The owner was a bit drunk, and she got all uppity - "I ordered a stout, like Guinness!" "This is a bit heavier and a bit darker. I've got a 12 pack in the van, we should probably have a tailgate party about this the next time you come out for a smoke. Bring [the head bartender]." ... long story short: "I like this. Why the hell is it a porter? I don't usually like porters. WHERE THE HELL'S THE LINE!?"
