John Bexon, Greene King head brewer: “The rich steak and creamy, tangy stilton sauce is delicious with the malty and intense bittersweet finish of Abbot Ale. The beers fruity esters complement the full flavoured meat and divine sauce. The combination delivers a heavenly explosion of flavours. In my opinion, Abbot Ale is fantastic with any cheese dish!”
