Abita Select - Oatmeal Stout

History of the beer style:
Stouts originated in Great Britain in the 1700s and were among the most popular beers until the early 1900s when pale ales became the drink of choice. Although they declined in popularity there was still a considerable market for stouts, especially in Ireland. Stouts have become more popular in the last 30 years in the U.S. with imports from the U.K. and craft beers in America. Our selection is an Oatmeal Stout.

For our select this time we’ve tried something a little different. The brewers and I have decided to use four different grains to create a beer that is truly different. We call this new style Four Grain Ale. There really is no history of this style.
