Kernel Export India Porter 33cl

Inspired by the strong porters shipped to India in the 1850s, this beer is a riot of roasty, chocolatey goodness. But don't expect fusty history - a big dose of modern hops brings bright, punchy flavours to the party. Think coffee, dark chocolate, maybe a hint of tobacco, all wrapped up in a robust porter backbone. The hops change with every brew, keeping things fresh, but it always comes in around that 6% ABV sweet spot.

The Kernel was brewing in Bermondsey before the now-famous Beer Mile was even a thing. Founded in 2009 by Evin O'Riordan, it set the standard that many others would follow - proper, no-nonsense beer with a focus on quality over hype. And they're not one of those trendy craft brewery brands that started small but sold out to the corporates when the big boys came knocking. The Kernel's indie credentials and credibility are as strong today as they were when they started.
