Porter Recommendations

So I have recently gotten into porters. Right now my favorites are great lakes edmund fitzgerald, revolutions eugene, and founders porter. I'm interested in trying three floyds alpha klaus; any others anyone would recommend?

Deschutes Black Butte Porter.

Fuller's London and Yard's General Washington might be my two favorites.

Hill Farmstead Twilight of the Idols

Firestone Walker Reserve Porter

Smuttynose Baltic Porter
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
Ballast Point Victory at Sea
Les Trois Mousquetaires Grande Cuvee Porter Baltique

Evil Twin Lil B

I second Deschutes...Alaskan Smoked Porter is very good too.

Terrapin Liquid Bliss chocolate/peanut butter porter

I'm not a huge fan of porters but I really enjoyed the Alpha Klaus. I've also heard good things about Cigar City's Jose Marti Porter, I picked up a bottle for my gf but it sounds hoppy enough (65 IBU) that I might drink it myself.

Smuttynose Robust Porter, one of my faves.

Founders, Edmund Fitz; I am also a big fan of the Sierra Nevada and Bell's. I haven't had the Smuttynose Robust Porter but can attest that the Smuttynose Baltic Porter is spectacular and a good value.

Jose Marti is excellent! Do yourself a favor and drink it.

Dirty old man is a great porter.

Oh and Everett from HF.

Meantime Naval College Old Porter

Boulevard Bully! Porter is my favorite

"great lakes edmund fitzgerald, revolutions eugene, and founders porter" - Three of the best in the "Great lakes" region.

Just had my first eddy fitz and bummed i only have one from trade. sooooo good. honestly im gonna second Deschuttes Black Butte Porter that beer is off the charts good my fav porter and ill also second Jose Marti since im a FL native. Even though im being a homer with that Jose Marti is a damn good porter

Marti and Alpha Klaus were actually pretty similar. Both are delicious.

drink stout instead.

O'so Night Train and Central Waters Mudpuppy Porter are 2 awesome Wisconsin offerings

If you're in the Pittsburgh or Cleveland area, I'd say try to get ahold of Fat Head's Up in Smoke Porter. It's probably my favorite porter that I've had. Also, as you mentioned, Founders Porter is pretty awesome.

Not easy to get, but damn it's good.

Definitely Anchor Porter and Fuller's London Porter- classics in the style.

So much this!

This beer is so good, it hurts my feelings.

anchor, smuttynose robust porter.
even duclaw Sweet Baby Jesus if you want something rich.

My favorites in no particular order are black butte, anchor, taddy porter, fullers London porter, Everett (drinkin my first one now). victory at sea, black butte anniversary,

Any of the Meantime ones, Fullers, and Williams bros Midnight Sun

Oh how coincidental! I just tried Mikkeller's Orange Yuzu Glad I Said Porter last night and it was pretty damn brilliant. Perhaps not the most conventional porter around, but if you like a juicy, zesty citrus punch, do try it. If you don't, try it anyway.

If you don't mind bitterness on the verge of becoming astringent, I really enjoy the Rogue Mocha Porter. The first bottle I had didn't work for me, but I bought two and had to have it again. I ended up falling in love with it.

One of the best, most balanced ones I've had is the Yo-Ho Tokyo Black. There's a very nice hint of dark fruit in it that took me by surprise initially. Definitely a porter you should try.

I must say though, other than the Fuller's porter, I've not heard of the other ones mentioned here. Don't think it's distributed in my country. :'(

Anchor, Sierra Nevada in fact just about all of them.

Must agree with Anchor, Black Butte, Boulevard, Sierra Nevada and Fullers.

One I havent seen mentioned that I really like is Great Divide St Bridget's Porter

Founders

Seconding the Gonzo Imperial Porter, if you can find it. I also love any vanilla porter. Breckenridge has a good one and Atwater (a local brewery for me) has a Vanilla Java Porter.

HF EVERETT (pardon my screaming)

I am not a porter fan, but Victory At Sea by Ballast Point blew me away. I will buy it anytime I see it!!!!

Lots of Porters are labelled and sold as Stouts. Don't miss these out

One I have not seen mentioned that I'm a big fan of is Thirsty Dog Old Leg Humper.

Founders is my go-to porter, and one of my go-to beers in general. However, since no one else has done so I would like to direct you toward Porters from NE Europe, Poland in particular. These are commonly called baltic porters and they generally have higher abv (8-9%), and a richer, more robust flavor than a lot of common American offerings. They are also incredibly affordable as a final bonus.
