The Storied History of the Stout -- Stout Beer History 

Stouts and porters are what convinced me beer can actually taste good. Prior to trying them, my only beer experience was with light macro lagers.

Drinking Guinness while watching this. Cheers!

My favorite when i lived in Ireland was Beamish.

That`s why I love Guinness

I don’t consider myself a beer connoisseur, and I know nothing about the nuance of these different drinks, but stouts are my favorite. I drink them all the time. They’re so tasty, especially these chocolate and peanut butter variants.

My favourite is Southwark Old Stout. Brewed in Adelaide, South Australia.

Coopers Extra Stout, Tooheys Old and Sapporo Premium Black are my favourites!

Dwarven joke: "I like my women like I like me beer - sout and bitter."

Old Rasputin has to be one of the best out there in my opinion.

Ahhhh love stout. The blacker the better.

Guinness draught or extra stout is a favorite stout, however if I had to choose between them I would pick the draught. It's the smoothest of the two. I like to say that" Guinness is like mother's milk to me"

Hands down favorite stout of mine is bourbon barrel aged dragons milk. People always say “drink this, it’ll put hair on ya chest” but can’t even down a swig of THAT stuff! Not just my favorite stout but also my main go to drink when I’m buying brews. Great video, very educational and well put together

Such great information! 🍺I'm loving Guinness' 200th anniversary Stout at the moment

Best stout : victory at sea by ballast point. Sooooooo good

Truly is a huge sub category of beer! Sweet vid man :)

Nitro milk stouts are amazing!

Coffee stout is my favorite, always love a peanut butter or interesting flavor as well but nothing really beats a room temperature pint from the tap in Galway

Tall dark and handsome, that's how I like my beers. Cheers!

Thank you! Great info!

Stout is my go to, smooth and really nice flavors

My favorite style of stouts are the Russian Imperial Stout and Barrel-Aged Stouts. My personal best are the Stubborn Russian, Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Lakeman's Hairy Bogan, Boatrocker's Ramjet, and Brewdog's Cocoa Psycho.

I love that video thank you👍

One word: Thorough. I loved it! Keep them coming!

This is a great video! I love finding videos that have histories over everyday items that I love. Thank you for doing this. My favorite stout is West 6th Snake Eyes. Cheers, -J.O.

Long Live The Stout! Great stuff man!

Ten sleep, Wyoming. Porter and stout are some of the best I have try.

Great Lakes blackout stout is my all time favorite beer

Good info, thanks!

Texas craft breweries are making some darn good ones. Avery Brewing up north makes the best in my opinion.

Guinness was advised (and still is) to be drank by pregnant women in England also! Great video.

Nice video!!

Best stout I ever tasted was and still is (Mackeson triple stout xxx)

There is a bad ass brewery here in TX called Ingenious Brewing. If you guy ever come across an Ingenious beer stout. Do give them a try! Definitely their stouts are unique and delicious! Great video!!

Guinness (West Indies) Porter in my 500ml Craft/ stout glass, Not over chilled though 👌. And love a Guinness Draft or Murphys draft. If at home from a can both chilled in my Guinness M07 or M14 glass. There my go to choices. But trying different often. Cheers Grant 😁

What a great channel!

awesome vid! I would love to see a deep dive on Bitter

Great Video... Always learning something new! My favorite stout would be the Nitro Milk Stout by Left Hand. Cheers, Ryan! \m/

My favorite is Royal stout

Bourbon barrel stouts are by far the best beers ever!! Cheers 🍻

I love Brussels Beer Project’s and Tsingtao’s stout

Full Sail Imperial Porter - Brewmaster’s Reserve @ the Taphouse in Boise over 10 years ago, best ever. Deschutes Obsidian Stout, current favorite.

Can't beat a good Imperial and there are some great flavours being made today.

Well done Ryan!

My Grandmother was a tea-totaller. Then one day her Doctor recommended a diet including stout. To my amazement, I watched her down a pint in record time.

I really dig Guinness and a Mexican Imperial Stout by Calavera. Greetings from Mexico!

Another great vid. Comrade Bill Bartram's Egalitarian Anti-Imperialist Soviet Stout is one of my personal favourites. At 6.9% not a session beer. Cheers.

All hail the Stout! The stout is king!!

6:34 oh dear! That explains a lot.

Good video. Well done.

I have no favourite, but I like to try a glass of stout when possible.

Like I said, we need to sit and visit. Touch cups. Cheers! Elder loves ya Ryan.

Fullers Porter and Samuel Smith organic chocolate stouts I like best

My first Stout was in 1998, and it was a Guinness , and I had it made into a Black and Tan, So that probably doesn't count, then the next one was 2 years ago, and I thought my mouth had been violated, I cant even remember which one it was, but later found out it was a good quality Stout, my Taste buds just weren't ready for it , I Love em now, Sorry, I know that wasnt really what you were wanting comments about, Very interesting Video of the Stout History, you had my undivided attention , Cheers Ryan, I destroyed the Like Button

Guinness, Konrad's from Lervig, both excellent stouts for different occations. Love me a stout!

Guinness Extra Stout and Lancaster Milk Stout. My two favs

Just resumed watching this after finishing a bottle of extra stout

Mmmmmm, stout stout stout! Personal favorite: Guinness on the extra cold tap! Only the extra cold. I miss the extra cold... Still waiting to try that LiftBridge Irish Coffee Stout, though...

Cool video! 😀 The difference between being and life consists in the ability to love and be happy. ;-)

Being from Texas I can say that Guinness runs through my veins. I counted it up the other night and I literally have more Guinness running through me than I do blood. I love the liquid gold and I am proud of my Chezk/ irish lineage and all of the Irish there making this beautiful product. Slainte/prosit Keep it coming brothers and sisters

My favorite stout would have to be Kaldi Coffee Stout by Quest brewery in Greenville S.C

Good video, it was my understanding that stout was originally made accidentally when the barley was forgotten and burned while being roasted. Also best stout you will have is made very simply at home with coopers DIY cans.. Thomas coopers Irish stout can Dark malt extract can 2 packs of thomas coopers yeast 19L

As someone who actually didn’t like beer, or as I call it American piss water. I was in England for a couple weeks in 92 and decided to try their beers with out much hope I would enjoy it. Was I wrong, the first time I tried Guinness seeing this in the glass all brown and looking almost alive until it settled down and turned black i was wondering what the hell did I order. One sip and I was hooked. To this day when I go to a bar I ask if they either Guinness or New Castle, if the answer is no I order a coke.

Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout is very nice. Everyday drink is the Guiness Draught in cans. Simplistic and tasty

I love stouts and porters but I’d say porters are my go to big beers

I like the old use of the word stout. I would like a stout IPA please. Great vid, I learned something new.

Hi Ryan, thanks for this awesome video! Would you be able to share some of your sources for this information with me? I am working on a university project about brewing stout and I'm looking for some historical information. As well, if you've come across any historical recipes please let me know! Part of the project involves brewing from a historical recipe. :)

My fav is Guiness Stout

Hello, my favourite stout is Kingsville Brewery's "Woodrunner Barrel Aged Stout" which is aged in used Hiram Walker whiskey kegs.

My current favorite is founders breakfast stout

Good one I would rather drink something else just hate the coffee taste but some r better than others thanks for the vid.........................CHEERS

I'm drinking Steam Bell Tiramisu Stout Raspberry. It's 9%abv and pretty good with vanilla ice cream.

Lakewood Temptress, Dragons Milk & Ten Fidy!

Stout is my favorite. Maybe not extra stout but standard stouts and milk stouts are lovely. I don't really care for any other types of beer.

Current favorite is Dragon's Milk

Guinness and Old Rasputin are some of the best beers out there

After my first taste of Old Rasputin's Imperial Stout, it was good bye Guinness forever 😋

Sierra Nevada Narwhale is a great imperial stout!

fantastic voyage stout or bourbon county, my guy

I like stouts with complex tastes like Stigbergets Trouble sleep or Oppigårds Thurbo stout.

Titanic - Plum Porter, Shepherds Neame - Double Stout (oldest brewer in Britain founded 1698 but brewery already existed before this but records don't say when this was founded)

Bourbon County!!!

Stout: A stronger porter.

The Brooklyn Chocolate Stout at 13% alcohol. Guinness is a great standby, too

Breckenridge brewing does a fantastic Vanilla Nitro

Founders breackfast stout

Aun más Jésus by EvilTwin is my favorite stout.

I may fool around with other stouts, but my heart belongs to Guinness. She's the only one that can go all night. I love you, baby!

Guinness milk stout for me

1) Swan Brewing, Lakeland FL - Champurrado (Mexican Hot Chocolate) chocolate & chili Imperial Stout. 2) Grand Avenue Brewing, Phoenix AZ -- Grand Avenue Stout (imperial) Normally I'd just give the Grand Avenue Brewery stout first place. I generally dislike chocolate, chile additions or flavorants of any kind, but 'damn' Swan absolutely killed it. Perhaps the best beer I've ever had. Swan usually has its winner, but Grand Avenue Stout isn't always on tap. I'm very disappointed when it's not, but both have wonderful selections. And as far as types go, i like all types. But my preference is stouts. Oddly I'm not that fond of Porters as many tend to be too sweet, but I won't turn up my nose at a Porter either. I just don't like things too sweet. I like a good cider and even a good mead, but it's awful hard to find these that aren't overly sweet. No doubt there are plenty of excellent sweetish drafts, but they're just not to my taste.

The Patsy - Coconut Rye Stout by Barley Forge Brewery

Guiness is beautiful.

So many different flavors added to stouts now its hard to pick a favorite "standard" stout. Porters are easier in that regard. Great Lakes, Edmund Fitzgerald.

Guinness Extra Stout by all means!

Guinness extra stout.

wow, I always, whole my life, thought that stout is a coffee beer haha

My favorite stout may be Bomb! By prairie ales

Old Rasputin is great, it's a nitro imperial stout.

Brewers never used unmalted barley before 1880, because it was illegal.

Coopers best extra is the best stout.

Where is Hetfordshire?
