If you prefer to drink a Stout beer during the meal, ideally that should be done with a strong dish such a stew or other meat dishes.

The origin of this type of beer dates back to the middle of the 18th century.

Years later, to adapt to the tastes of consumers, it became darker and with a stronger flavour, happening to be finally called Stout.
