About Stout Beer
Stout is a dark, heavy-bodied beer that comes in many variations. It is popular in Great Britain and Ireland. This beer style is highly intertwined with “porter,” a dark style of beer developed in London.
The word stout originally means “proud” or “brave.” The earliest recorded use of this word dates back to 1677 in a collection of historical manuscripts held in the British Library. It talked about stouts being stronger version of porters, which were dark brown beers that were very popular. Due to their huge demand, many brewers would produce them with varying alcohol content. Beers with stronger alcohol content were called “stout porters.” Stout then took the connotation of “strong.” This term became slang for strong beer in the 18th century. Later on, it shortened its namesake to “stout.”
