THE UNEXAMINED BEER IS NOT WORTH BREWING
There comes a time in every man’s life when he must ask himself – Should I continue working my steady and lucrative job or should I just quit and make beer? Well, for Norfolk-native Porter Hardy, the decision was a no-brainer. In 2012, the former home-brewer (and now former lawyer) traded his ties in for tap handles, and never looked back. With a stellar team around him, Porter entered un-fermented waters as one of the original craft breweries to set up shop in Hampton Roads.

Some haze to it with a white head. The marshmallows come thru but thankfully not over the top. Some citrus, lactose, marshmallow, tropical juice. Medium bodied. This is a hype beer? I mean, yea it’s an interesting ingredient but doesn’t taste all that interesting. Still, it’s good.
