Invercargill Stanley Green

Every beer has a tale to tell and in the case of Invercargill Brewery’s pale ale Stanley Green – it’s one of love, loss and family.

When our first beer, inauspiciously named IBS, was re-engineered in 2006 the new recipe was named for brewer Steve Nally’s maternal grandfather Lance Corporal Stanley Green no 4342115, who was killed during WWII.

Stanley Green Pale Ale is a pale bronze colour, hints of fruitcake and a dry hoppy finish are all crammed into this traditionally styled ale. The aroma offers sweet caramel and toffeeish malt notes balanced with a gentle herbal fruitiness from the hops. Medium bodied, there’s a creamy, sweet and savoury maltiness that’s reminiscent of Mackintosh’s toffees, followed by a leafy hop note and dry finish.
