LISTEN: Thirsty Thursday - International Stout Day

KTAR.com

Today we will celebrate the wonderful world of stouts.

Why you ask?

Friday is International Stout Day! That’s right…go to stoutday.com for more info. For the newbie, a stout is in its most basic sense…a strong porter.

That’s why it is called a stout.

Stouts come in all shapes and sizes from basic, Oatmeal and milk stouts to vanillas, chocolates and the top of the mountain…Imperials.

We took a look at a few to get ya started:

Reviews
Sierra Nevada Stout

Nimbus Oatmeal Stout
Old Rasputin
Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout
Sierra Nevada Narwhal

So as we mark International Stout Day this Friday…raise a glass won’t you. Newbies, the Sierra Nevada is a great start. Old brew heads, go big and make it an Imperial.

Either way you go, get home safe. Don’t drink and drive.

Until next week, happy International Stout Day.

Cheers.
