Lord Stanley Pale Ale: A Tribute to Tradition and Refreshment
Lord Stanley Pale Ale is a smooth, easy-drinking Pale Ale crafted in honour of Lord Stanley, whose legacy lives on in Vancouver’s iconic Stanley Park and the famed Stanley Cup. Lord Stanley, the 16th Earl of Derby and Governor General of Canada in the late 1800s, left his mark on Canadian history by donating the Stanley Cup, the ultimate prize in professional hockey, in 1892. This pale ale embodies his spirit of celebration and unity, just like the park and cup that bear his name.
Balanced and Approachable Pale Ale
This 5.2% ABV Pale Ale is perfect for those who enjoy a balanced and refreshing beer. The base is built on a combination of Maris Otter and 2-Row malts, providing a solid backbone of biscuity sweetness with hints of toasty malt character. The result is a smooth, medium-bodied beer with a malt-forward profile that sets the stage for the hops to shine.
Classic Hop Character
Lord Stanley Pale Ale features a blend of Cluster, East Kent Golding, and Willamette hops, contributing to its mild bitterness of 30 IBUs and a pleasant, floral, and earthy hop character. Cluster hops offer a subtle spiciness and slight citrus note, while East Kent Golding brings in traditional British hop flavours of herbal earthiness. Willamette adds a hint of fruitiness with delicate floral aromas, making this Pale Ale a perfect blend of classic and contemporary hop styles.
Ideal for Any Occasion
With its approachable bitterness and balanced malt profile, Lord Stanley Pale Ale is an ideal companion for any occasion. Whether you’re enjoying a sunny day at Stanley Park or watching a hockey game, this beer is sure to please. Its refreshing character and easy drinkability make it a favourite among craft beer enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
