Occidental Porter

This porter was designed for the Arid Club in Boise, Idaho. The name Occidental was chosen to represent the location of the Arid Club in 1890, which was 715 Main St, Boise, Idaho. The Occidental Saloon was located downstairs from the newly created club. Myself and 2 friends first brewed this beer on Nov. 12, 2005. It was a great hit at the club and I would recommend it for group gatherings where you want to display a porter but don't want a strong porter. Many people enjoyed this porter that weren't porter lovers as the flavors are mild. Mash schedule: 30 mins at 145F 30 mins at 165F 30 mins at 155F

This recipe really lives up to the hype. Well balanced and a great introductory porter for the "fizzy beer drinkers." Also a hit with the darker beer gang. Great job!
