SARATOGA SPRINGS — About three months after the relaunch of Stewart’s Mountain Brew, the brand has been recognized as a top private-label beer by the Wall Street Journal.
Stewart’s teamed up with Adirondacks craft brewer Paradox Brewery to create what the Journal called “a refreshing new recipe.”
Stewart’s is among a growing number of retailers “that work closely with craft breweries to produce compelling beers that deliver both value and taste,” the Journal wrote earlier this month.
“It is an honor that Mountain Brew has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal,” said Stewart’s Marketing Director Bill Majewski in a press release. “I think the secret to our early success is that we found a way to produce a fresh and local beer that also has a great taste and great value for our customers.”
After staying off the shelves for five years, Mountain Brew lager returned to Stewart’s Shops in February with a new recipe and a taller, 19.2-ounce can. The tall boy is available in Stewart’s Shops across Upstate New York.
