Just before Christmas, our Estonian friends Pühaste Brewery visited. It seemed like the perfect time to prepare for the lesser-known holiday of Baltic Porter Day on January 18th. Behind The Sun And The Stars is a 7% Porter that packs in all the bold malty flavours you expect alongside dark fruits and a sweet and dry finish. A real treat for the cold January evenings.
