If you’ve been paying close attention to the beer line-up for the upcoming bonanza that is 2010 Stone Winter Storm, you may have spotted StoneWall Ale on the list—a sighting so rare, some might call it the Jackalope of the craft beer world. But what is StoneWall Ale, you mumble feebly, humiliated by your ignorance of this arcane…
Just one week after releasing the 2012 Stone Imperial Russian Stout, we've got another beer up our sleeves that's coming to a glass near you starting today. A few years ago, Greg and Steve were approached by Matt Bonney and Matt "Vern" Vandenberghe (aka "The Matts"), the almighty…
Remember when we came out with that badass collaboration beer? What's that? Oh, which one, you ask? Yes, of course. We should be more specific, as they've all been pretty unbelievable. (And we're totally allowed to brag this hard because there were other brilliant brewers involved, so please consider this our way of supremely complimenting them... while giving ourselves just a little pat on the…

The fact is, *I* am a young punk, reveling in the bounty of lupulin-loaded libations…
Ah, Stone Smoked Porter. The second beer that we ever released, waaaaaay back in December of 1996. It's a good thing, too... the world was in need of something wonderful, what, with Macarena still tormenting the airwaves and Jingle All The Way polluting movie theater screens. Anyway, back…
Just as Patrick Henry once stood addressing the city of Richmond in 1775 to spur resistance against the tyrannical British Empire, 20 years ago we were stirred to join the cry for resistance against the tyrannical oppression of industrial beer. And now, the opening of our Richmond brewery is yet another shot in the salvo that has been fired on behalf of American brewing independence. If we wish…

Somewhere along the line, lagers got a reputation for being a bland and boring style of beer. But when done right, a great lager celebrates everything craft beer should be. We’re still Stone. This is a hopped-up, bold, flavorful lager. So crack one open and revel in this self-entitled beer.
