Stonewall Kitchen Launches New Mustard with Allagash Brewing

YORK, MAINE– Award-winning specialty food producer Stonewall Kitchen is pleased to announce the launch of its newest mustard, Maine Craft Ale Mustard, featuring Maine-based Allagash Brewing Company’s Tripel as the product’s key ingredient.

“When creating this product, we knew we wanted it to be a zesty, pub-style mustard and we were looking for a quality craft beer to bring the flavors together and the product to life,” said Janine Somers, Director of Marketing and DTC Sales. “Maine has so many wonderful craft breweries that share in our commitment to quality. After multiple recipe iterations and internal taste panels, Allagash Brewing Company came out on top. We’re absolutely thrilled to include an authentic, award-winning Maine brand as the key ingredient in our new, Maine Craft Ale Mustard.”

“We’ve always admired Stonewall Kitchen’s dedication to supporting our home state of Maine,” said Jeff Pillet-Shore, Marketing Director of Allagash. “We’re excited that Tripel was chosen to be a part of their mustard and can’t wait to enjoy the fruits of our collective labor with a pretzel and a beer.”

About Maine Craft Ale Mustard: Made with stone ground Dijon mustard—with slight shades of tart vinegar and sweet honey—this mustard’s coarse texture and robust taste pairs perfectly with the distinctive golden-hued layers and subtle, dry fruitiness of Allagash’s Tripel. The mustard is great on hot dogs, baked chicken, for dipping pretzels and more. Use it as a condiment, add spice and flavor to recipes, or serve as a dip.

Maine Craft Ale Mustard is currently available for purchase on Stonewall Kitchen’s website and Retail Company Stores as well as in a variety of retailers nationwide. For more information, please visit: http://www.stonewallkitchen.com.
