In response to the popularity of 'Three Threads' (pale ale, new brown ale and stale brown ale mixed at the spigot by tavernkeepers), Ralph Harwood of the Bell Brewhouse in Shoreditch, England produced the first brewed porter in 1722. By 1780 more than 75% of the ale brewed in London was porter. In 1789, George Washington wrote "We have already been too long subject to British prejudices. I use no porter or cheese in my family, but such as is made in America: both these articles may now be purchased of an excellent quality."
