Mike Hess Stock Stout, an sweet oatmeal stout brewed for Beer to the Rescue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>Every now and then, the ping of an instant message popping up on my computer will summon my eyes to the bottom-right quadrant of the screen, and there it is, the dog profile pic letting me know that Michael Hess<\/strong> wants to chat. Always random, but always interesting, I have received everything from scoops to criticism via these IMs, but my favorite by far was when he invited me and the Lupus Foundation of Southern California<\/strong><\/a> to hold one of our Beer to the Rescue<\/a> <\/strong>fundraisers at Mike Hess Brewing Company<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s North Park brewery and tasting room. In doing so, he also offered up the service of his brewing team to work up a beer to help raise funds for the cause. Mike Hess Stock Stout (seriously, how cool would it be to have a bunch of beers all sporting your full name\u2014Brandon Hern\u00e1ndez Grammatical Butcher IPA has a nice ring to it), a sweet oatmeal stout coming in at a highly session-able 4.5% alcohol-by-volume is the result, and it\u2019s currently on tap after making its official debut last Friday.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cHead brewer Jason Stockberger<\/strong> has been masterfully at the helm for 18 months now, leading the charge with a World Beer Cup<\/strong><\/a> win for our double IPA, Habitus, and most recently picking up five medals at the Los Angeles International Commercial Beer Competition, plus two at the CaliforniaState Fair. But Jason loves a good session stout, which brings us to this beer, a holdover from his days as the head brewer at Rock Bottom<\/strong><\/a> in downtown San Diego. The recipe for Stock Stout was given a once-over to fit nicely in the MHB portfolio, and was brewed in honor of the Beer to the Rescue campaign.\u00a0Carefully blended with English crystal malts, roasted barley, chocolate malt, two-row and naked oats, it is gently hopped with Nugget, Cascade and Willamette.\u00a0Stock Stout is light in body, finishing dry\u2014a great summertime session stout.\u00a0We hope everybody gets a chance to try this ale, as this specialty brew supports a worthy cause and will only brewed once this year.\u201d\u2014Michael Hess, Founder & Proprietor, Mike Hess Brewing Company
