The Kernel Brewery Export India Porter Recipe
The Kernel Brewery is a brewery that every home brewer can look up to. Started by Evin O’Riordain underneath a railway arch it has become one of the most iconic and influential breweries in the UK.
Beer names consist of a style and often just a subtitle of the hops used and predominately focused on pale and hoppy beers or dark, full bodied beers. Export India Porter is a combination of the two, straddling hoppy and dark.
