Originally created by Sr. Manager of Brewing& Innovation Kris Ketcham to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, this unusual IPA was an instant hit. Our brew system at Liberty Station is known for bringing some of our most style-bending recipes to life, but this one takes it a step further. It’s inspired by two other style “remixes” - a…
Sometimes we use an elaborate combination of hops to bring out juicy, citrusy, dank and tropical flavors in a beer. And sometimes – SOMETIMES – one hop manages to do all that on its own. That’s what we have here with a magical varietal from New Zealand called Motueka. It’s the only hop we used in the whirlpool and dry hopping process and yet this beer is packed with layers of complex, tropical,…
There are few things that manage to reach perfection in their simplicity, balance and sheer comfort like a good PB&J. Whatever your preferences are for bread type, PB-to-J ratio, etc., we can all agree the combination of nutty, creamy spread and sweet-tart fruit is something quite special. So is this beer: an imperial Berliner Weisse style ale that turns a lunchbox (or midnight snack) staple…

Sometimes the best part of a journey is when something unplanned happens. You make an unexpected swerve but end up at a destination even better than you hoped for.
That’s what we have here: Stone Travelogue Triple IPA.
Our trek started with Amarillo hops – a favorite from Stone history that we’ve fallen in love with all over again – combined with Loral and Mosaic. Meanwhile, we used flaked…
Single hop IPAs are swell, but most of the time hops work best in tandem. And each new hop variety is created by combining strains - teamwork makes the dream work! This beer features a new hop variety out of New Zealand codenamed Peacherine. That's right - a hybrid named after a hybrid. Whoa. As you can imagine, this brand new beauty offers bright and juicy stone fruit characteristics. It's…
