The difference between Stout and Porter?

Freiheit · 2011-01-16 12:03:26

Guinness is often referred to as Porter, but apparently there was a difference historicaly, was Porter a weaker form of Guinness, or Guinness 'slops'?. Can anyone also tell me how barrells were transported in the past?. I assume by canal, but until when?. And would the world wars likely have affected supplies of alcohol?…

Kinda like the bar that separates a judge from the rest of the court.

The bars in a courtroom do not separate the judge from the rest, they (inner bar and outer bar) separate the participants (judge, jury, defendant, witnesses, lawyers etc) from the spectators. Where they still physically exist they're a railing, not a counter.
