Stout St (5.6% ABV) is a classic Milk Stout abound with pleasant notes of rich chocolate from roasted malts, complete with a smooth silky finish. Available as a rotating seasonal beer on draft, it is currently on tap for a limited time at Iron Hill in Media, PA.
“Starting as a homebrewer, it is such an honor to now have earned a Gold Award for 30 E. Stout St at World Beer Cup,” says Ken Orner, Brewer at Iron Hill Brewery in Media, PA. “In 2019, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and therefore have never even been able to sip my winning beer! As a brewer that cannot have gluten, I rely heavily on following processes to a T and occasionally require the assistance of my peers to taste the beer during the brew process to see if I need to make any adjustments. Winning Gold is truly something I never imagined.”
