Stone Brewing Co. Releases Beachwood/Heretic/Stone Unapologetic IPA

Stone Brewing Co. has built a reputation behind aggressive, hop-forward beers brimming with bold, bitter flavors. So, it's no surprise its latest collaboration with similarly hop-obsessed brewers from California's Beachwood Brewing and Heretic Brewing Company is an IPA. To those who might think another IPA from these hop fanatics is expected or passe, the trio replies, "So what!" This isn't just another IPA; the beer was crafted with Magnum and Chinook hops as well as four newly developed American-grown varieties from Washington's Yakima Valley, making it a unique standout. Starting this week, Beachwood/Heretic/Stone Unapologetic IPA is making its way to select markets nationwide and in Puerto Rico in 22-ounce bottles and on draft.

Random Happenstance Strikes Again: Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale Now Populating Across the U.S.

Stone Brewing Co. designed the Stone Stochasticity Project as a playful outlet for making diverse limited-release beers without adherence to a specific brewing schedule or strict parameters. There is little-to-no logical association between past beers in this series and the one being released today. The Stone Stochasticity Project isn't about logic. It's about being stochastic. So, beginning today, Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale, a Belgian-style quadrupel ale brewed with a modern specialty grain called triticale, is available in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at select retailers nationwide.

Make Some Noise for the Newest Stone Collaboration: Kyle Hollingsworth/Keri Kelli/Stone Collective Distortion IPA

At Stone Brewing Co., craft beer and music go together as well as hops, barley, water and yeast. So when the opportunity arose to collaborate with two musicians from stylistically different backgrounds, we did the universal hand sign for "Rock on!" and bobbed our heads in perfect unison. The collaboration "band" consisted of the Stone Brew Crew, led by Brewmaster Mitch Steele (who is the guitarist of Craigsband and Stone's house band, The Flocculators); hard rock guitarist Keri Kelli (who has played with the likes of Alice Cooper, Skid Row and Slash from Guns N' Roses); and keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident. Together, they brewed an epic double IPA infused with elderberries and coriander, and named their magnificent creation Collective Distortion IPA. Fans may start enjoying the beer in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at select retailers, restaurants and bars across the U.S. this week.

Stone Smoked Porter w/Chipotle Peppers: A Smoked Beer to Spice up the Season

New and improved ideas are sometimes created by taking a well-established, solid concept and introducing a unique feature.

Since then, the beer has been a cult hit for many, including Stone's pepper-loving CEO and Co-founder, Greg Koch. Beginning today, the beer is available in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at retailers, restaurants and bars in select markets nationwide.

Stone Brewing Co. Releases First Beer in Stone Spotlight Series: Sprocketbier

Last year, the Brew Crew of Stone Brewing Co. participated in an intradepartmental competition dubbed the Stone Spotlight Series, in which teams of two competed for the opportunity to have a beer they devised brewed, packaged and distributed nationally. Stone wanted to "spotlight" the talented individuals that make up the Stone brewing team and encouraged them to explore what craft beer is truly about: ingenuity, creativity and...well, having fun. Beginning today, the craft beer company is proud to unveil the inaugural prize-winning beer in the Stone Spotlight Series: Sprocketbier, a black rye Kolsch-style ale. Fans across the U.S. may purchase the limited-release beer in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at retailers, restaurants and bars in select markets nationwide.

Introducing Stone Saison: A Modern Take on a Belgian Classic

Stone Brewing Co. is fond of adding its own twists to classic beer styles. So it should be no surprise the brewery took liberties to make the newest beer release 100 percent Stone, while still maintaining the integrity of a very traditional beer. Stone Saison is a farmhouse-style ale infused with lemon zest, grains of paradise and Stone Farms-grown lemon thyme and lavender. It's the quintessential choice for warm weather imbibing, and an ideal pairing partner for dishes and ingredients available during the spring and summer months. Starting today, Stone Saison is available on draft and in 12-ounce six-packs at retailers, restaurants and bars in select markets nationwide.

Is that even possible? Yep. And not only did Stone Brewing Co. do it first, we did it with a cream ale and double dry-hopped it to add that extra tropical, bitter goodness one would expect of a lupulin-obsessed craft brewery. Mind blown! Starting today, Stone Stochasticity Project Cr(He)am Ale with Helium is available in 16-ounce cans at retailers, restaurants and bars in select markets nationwide.
