Lakefront Brewery's Fuel Café Coffee Stout
Great River Brewery's Redband Stout
Anderson Valley Brewing Company's Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout
Left Hand Brewing Company's Wake Up Dead RIS and Milk Stout
My own imperial stout on nitro
Guinness in place of lawnmower beer

First brewed by Harvest Moon in 1997, this beer is a multiple award-winning dark ale brewed in the Burton, England style owing to the similarity of water chemistry in Belt compared to this classic porter producing area in England. Plenty of body without a sharp bite, this ale is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate and black malts to create a creamy, smooth, roasted, slightly chocolate tasting ale with a touch of hops in the finish. This ale can be enjoyed in every season and is best when served cool, not cold. And why the name? While drinking this new brew one evening back in 1997, the local hog farmer showed up to collect our spent mash and we that what could be better for fattening pigs?
