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.”
