The Baltic Sea was a thoroughfare of trade in the 18th century between mainland Europe, Scandinavia, England, and Russia. The beer that bares its name is likewise a crossroad of flavors and styles. A dark reddish copper color and roasty malt flavor reflect its roots in English Porters, but the sweet flavors & high alcohol come from Russian influences and the finish is clean and dry like a good German lager. Traditionally brewed in cooler climes like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Latvia & Lithuania, Baltic Porter is a perfect pairing for a cold winter day wherever you travel.
