Our first attempt at a white stout and it turned out perfect! We brewed this on location in the Hopping Grape parking lot as a part of their Two Year Anniversary “brew-in” competition. This was in association with the Texas Beer Refinery in Texas City. Unfortunately, the results were never judged, so we truly have no clue how this beer would have faired. That said, this was one of our most fun beers to brew start to finish, and we loved the chocolatey coffee surprise that you get hit with but are not expecting from such a light colored beer.
