STEVENSON, WA (April 30, 2015) – In late 2000 Walking Man Brewing produced what came to be known as Pale Strider Pale Ale, the first brew on their original 3-barrel system.  Nearly 15 years later, Pale Strider continues on with a fresh makeover in each 17-barrel brew as part of a single hop series started by head brewer James Landers in 2013.    

“I started the single hop series to bring more interest to our Pale Ale as well as giving us in the brewery an opportunity to have some fun and experiment with hops that we might otherwise not get a chance to use,” Landers said.

Emily’s Perle Pale 

Named for Walking Man’s assistant brewer, Emily Albaugh, Emily's Perle Pale is a heartfelt offering of her passion and dedication to the art and science of craft beer.  Having joined the brewhouse in September 2014, Emily’s Perle Pale is the first beer brewed not as an assistant, but as brewer.  From her thoughtful selection of Perle hops to stirring the kettle with a mother’s affection, this beer is destined to be distinctively delicious.  

 

Originally developed in Germany in 1978, Perle hops add a spicy, earthiness as well as some sweet honeysuckle and floral notes to the beer. The malt bill offers a fruity, medium bodied backbone that allows the Perle hops to shine through and deliver a refreshingly, quenchable Pale Ale. 

ABV: 5.5% 

IBU: 35 

Availability:  In draft while supplies last

Release Party at the Brewpub:  Wednesday, May 6 at 5pm. 

Walking Man Brewing will host a release party at the brewpub in Stevenson, WA on Wednesday, May 6 at 5pm.  Albaugh will introduce the beer and offer a complimentary tasting. For each pint of Emily’s Perle Pale guests will receive a raffle ticket with drawings for Walking Man prizes beginning at 6pm.

Stone Brewing Releases Stone Pale Ale 2.0

Stone Brewing Co. Releases Stone Pale Ale 2.0 Today! 

An all-new, Mandarina Bavaria-hopped version of the iconic Stone beer

 Steve

Courtsey of Stone Brewing Co

ESCONDIDO, CA (April 27, 2015)

Nearly 19 years ago, beer geek entrepreneurs Greg Koch and Steve Wagner launched Stone Brewing Co., selling the very first keg of Stone Pale Ale to San Diego County brewpub Pizza Port. Since that inaugural offering (a creation developed by original Stone Brewmaster Steve Wagner), Stone has earned a reputation for making a wide variety of bold, flavorful and often hop-centric beers. Starting today, a bold new version of Stone Pale Ale—artfully dubbed Stone Pale Ale 2.0—will begin arriving in 12-ounce six-packs and on draft.

 

More than a year ago, Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele was presented with the challenge of reimagining this iconic recipe. Before deciding on the final formulation for Stone Pale Ale 2.0, Greg, Steve, Mitch and the brewing team evaluated a number of prototypes. It was ultimately decided that the new year-round release should feature a distinctive new hop variety known as Mandarina Bavaria and a radically different grain bill.  

 

“Revamping this recipe was a really big project for us, especially since our loyal fans, myself included, have an emotional attachment to Stone Pale Ale,” explains Wagner. “Mitch and the brewing team really stepped up to the challenge and created something we believe will satisfy people’s changing palates and growing desire for more unique hop varieties.”

 

Mandarina Bavaria, a relatively new hop varietal developed in Germany’s famed Bavaria region, offers a blend of earthy, citrusy, fruity aromatics. Magnum and Herkules hops provide bitterness that’s substantial, allowing for a unique pale ale that’s more hop-forward than its predecessor, without being overbearing. A touch of rye in the grain bill delivers hints of biscuity character and subtle spice on the palate, adding depth to this nicely balanced, eminently drinkable ale.
