I have a stew recipe calling for dark porter beer. Need a brand name. Have Guiness. Will that work?!
Answers:
Yes, it will work!. Guinness is a stout beer, which is pretty much the same as a porter but may have a little bit of a different flavor!.
"While there is a great deal of disagreement in the brewing world on this subject, at one time, porter was considered an alternative name for stout!. It was originally used in the 18th century!. Historically, there are no differences between stout and porter, though there has been a tendency for breweries to differentiate the strengths of their dark beers with the words "extra", "double" and "stout"!. The term "stout" was initially used to indicate a stronger porter than other porters issued by an individual brewery — though one brewery's porter could easily be stronger than a neighbouring brewery's stout!. Though not consistent, this is the usage that was most commonly employed!.[3]
In modern brewing a stout is differentiated from a porter by the addition of roasted barley!. [5] In today's style guidelines there is a difference between stout and porter and it is not related to alcohol strength!."

I ama former chef and have used porter myself in dishes, it is a bit sweeter and less malty than Guinness add abit of dark brown sugar with it about 2 tablespoons when adding the beer/stout, and cook it the same way as the recipe asks for the porter, Porter was made for the workers on the docks in the UK and it was a bit different than lager, bitter, ale and stout!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Fuller's London Porter is one!.
