Old Tuffy Lager is now a Certified Craft Malt beer. Riverbend Malt House Announces Partnership with New Belgium Brewing
Asheville, NC Riverbend Malt House has partnered with New Belgium Brewing on Old Tuffy Premium Lager, which now includes a portion of Southern Select, a flavorful base malt produced with 2-row barley grown in North Carolina.
Old Tuffy was originally conceived as a partnership between NC State University and New Belgium Brewing, with a portion of the proceeds directed towards the university’s academic, sustainability, and innovation programs.
“As a fourth generation alumni, I’ve wanted Riverbend to be a part of this beer since it was released”, says Brent Manning Riverbend’s co-founder, “so it was really gratifying to have our malt included in the recipe.”
