Making the World a Better Place, One Pint at a Time

Brew News

Old Stock Cheese PairingOn May 3, we raided our library of rare beers for the Craft Brewers Conference to organize a vertical offering of our award-winning Old Stock Ale, featuring eight vintages going back to 2001. These amazing beers were paired with a selection of artisanal cheese including Valdeon from Spain; Colston-Bassett Stilton, Lincolnshire Poacher, and Keen’s Cheddar from England; and San Joaquin Gold and Rogue Creamery Blue from the USA. We heard from many industry leaders at the event that the Old Stock tasting was the highlight of the conference.

Old Stock Ale has been brewed by North Coast since 2000 as an annual vintage-dated limited release made with Maris-Otter malt, and Fuggles and Kent Golding hops. It has won medals at the World Beer Championships and the Great American Beer Fests among others and has been described as “Superlative! Demands respect and deserves every ounce of it.”
