Building on the success of its new fan zone, Stockport County have created its very own ale. The League Two side have joined forces with local brewery Thirst Class Ales based in nearby Reddish to create the unique brew, which fans can snap up exclusively from County Courtyard.
The partnership represents the club’s first official collaboration with the brewery since it started to sell their beers at the start of January - further cementing the club’s commitment to working with local suppliers in Stockport. A single hopped mosaic ale, standing at 4.8% vol, the County Pale Ale includes flavours and aromas of mango, stone fruits, and berries.
Last November, the club announced plans for County Courtyard, a new fan zone which would cater for up to 1,500 fans before and after matches. Signed off by Stockport Council just before Christmas, the fan zone has been designed to bring supporters together, while also hopefully easing congestion around the ground as attendance numbers grow.
