Small Batch Ten Penny This light, well-balanced amber ale has a modest hop flavour and is a malt forward ale of the highest quality. This brew’s name goes way back. Old Stock Ale in England used to be priced according to the quality and strength, so a few cents would get you a cheap ale...but a Ten Penny would get you the highest quality. Ten Penny Stock Ale was first brewed in 1934 and is a Moosehead classic.
