Changes

Porters originated in England originally from a blend of beers known as ''Entire'' made of sour ale, brown ale and weak ale. The resulting blend became quite popular with transport workers or ''porters'' in central London in the late 1700's. The beer became so popular that it led to excesses in some cases. [http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art26470.asp One article] reports that a huge vat of Porter exceeding 500,000 gallons burst at the Meux Brewery in October of 1814, sending a tsunami of beer flowing through the streets crushing houses and killing 8 people.
