Belleek Classic Stout Tankard Ornament

While Stout is now firmly associated with Ireland, its history actually goes back to 18th century England, where it emerged as a variation of Porter. London Porters were exported to Ireland where they proved popular. As a result of this popularity Irish brewers began to make their own versions of Porters, including Arthur Guinness. Initially, Irish-brewed Porter was essentially a more alcoholic version of an English Porter. It was referred to as Irish Stout Porter to distinguish it from its English namesake, with 'stout' being a term that referenced a
stronger, more robust beer. However, in the 19th century, Irish Stout Porter began to develop its own distinctive style that is loved around the world today.
