Lake Ann Brewing’s Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Porter
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Nov. 29, 2025
We’re all about finding ways to stay toasty as winter weather arrives, and Lake Ann Brewing Co. is bringing the heat with their Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Porter. A delightfully-drinkable twist on the pub’s OG Platte River Porter, this one-two-punch features the same toasty malts and medium body, kicked up a few-dozen Scovilles by means of the Trinidad scorpion pepper (one of the world’s hottest chilis!). Combined with the rich notes of chocolate extract—which, like its peppery counterpart, is added post-fermentation for maximum flavor—the result is a perfectly-balanced brew with a roasty palette and spicy kick. Pair with friends and a late-autumn bonfire, and you might not even need a jacket! Warm up at Lake Ann Brewing Company (6535 First St.) in Lake Ann, and stay tuned for their new four seasons event space, coming mid-December! lakeannbrewing.com
