What are some commercial porters?

I'm set to brew a porter this weekend, but am unfamiliar with them. If I would like to taste some commercial examples, what are some of the brands out there?

Anchor makes a porter that is pretty good. Sierra Nevada also makes one. The Anchor comes in individual 22 oz. bottles so it's easy to try.

See if you can find Mctarnahan's Cream Porter. Excellent brew.

I like Deschutes Black Butte Porter.

I just had Mactarnahan's for the first time last night. It is a good one. Boulevard makes a decent one too, Bully Porter.

And since you live in milwaukee how about sprecher, they have there generation porter. Thats a porter with some cocoa and raspberry. Very nice.

head to DIscount Liquor, just east of Serb Hall there on Oklahoma, like 58thSt maybe . . . Isle 2 . . . maybe 1/4 way down on the left . . .you'll find about 20 of them. I like St Peter's Old Style Porter, plust it has a cool as hell pint bottle, Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerlad wasnt bad either. St Peters is a brown porter while Great lakes is a robust porter so ya get to try 2 different styles too. Let me know if/when ya go I'll head over there with ya

Hey, Pumbaa... I go to the Discount Liquor in Waukesha, but have never been to the one on Oklahoma. Guess I should go there sometime and see how that one is. I think I'll take you up on the offer one of these days.

Stone's Smoked Porter is the one that sold me on porters.

I was going to suggest Eddie Fitz myself! IMHO, I think it is the best example of an American Porter out there.

I'm brewing a Porter tonight and I have a bottle of St. Peter's Old Style Porter that I'll be sampling for the first time. Had their Cream Stout two nights ago with dinner and it was tasty!

St. Peter's Old Style is a blend of a young and old porter, right?

that is a good english porter, cool bottle too!

has anyone had williamsburg ale's porter? from williamsburg virginia...i love there pale ale but the 6 pack of porter i got was totally flat...(i actually think that this is kind of cool that they are such a 'craft' brewery that they make mistakes)

ive been waiting for the store to run out, so i could buy some that (hopefully) wasnt flat...
