Some of our fans may have noticed that our Stone IPA has not had its usual bright, golden, clear appearance lately. We have seen it ourselves: we are having issues with ‘haze formation’ (AKA ‘chill haze’) in this beer…and even some possible occurrence of so-called ‘floaties.’ We thought it might be useful to present an explanation so that everyone knows what is going on. Some important things to…
That’s right, his last blog post on our struggles to control chill haze in Stone IPA was such a hit, we rewarded him with a free trip to the U.K. Well, that may not be how it actually went down, but what the hell.
Here’s what’s happening: we shipped Stone's Brewmaster, Mitch Steele, off to England on Monday to brew a collaboration beer at…
NOTE: You must place your order at the Stone Company Store-Escondido at least one week in advance of your first pick-up date. As loyal blog readers, you are undoubtedly aware of Stone Farms, our 18-acres of beautiful farmland and oak-covered hills located just 8 miles north of our brewery in Escondido. While only about 4.5 acres of the property are actually farmable, this…
The Great American Beer Festival is one of the world’s classic beer drinking experiences. This will be the 30th year of this epic celebration of American brewing, and it’s almost impossible to put into words how much it has changed. From its very humble beginnings, to the colossal event it is today—which nearly takes over the…
Some might be content with a folding table in a bookstore for (their) book release, but you know us better than that. After all, The Craft of Stone Brewing Co. is the first (ever) book about us, and we spent over a year writing it.…
Whew, well, the Great American Beer Festival is over, and now, just over a week after it ended, things are finally getting back to normal. It’s hard to encapsulate just how much work goes into putting together the GABF. The sheer enormity of America’s premier beer festival, which occupies…
As you may have heard, we’ve got some big plans on the table (and in the ground.) The reason you may have heard this is that we had a special press day on Wednesday, in which we invited a group of journalists to join us on a tour of our ever-expanding operations.
Now that our friends in the media have had a chance to feast on the news, we’re proud to announce this to you, our loyal blog…
Well, Mitch is back from the U.K., where he brewed a monstrously hoppy yet sessionable IPA, but now we’ve sent Greg to mainland Europe for a series of historic events. Seems like we’ve got someone in Europe all the time these days. Here’s the situation: Greg has gone to Europe to continue the search for a brewery location. We’ve been searching for…
Not only is San Diego Beer Week simply too much beer week for a single blog post, it’s too much beer week for a single week, thus stretching to a slightly more comfortable but still utterly intense 10 days from November 4th-13th, 2011.
And in those 10 days, we will quite literally be taking it to 11 by hosting…
San Diego Beer Week: Nov. 4-13th
Last week we presented you with the 11 amazing San Diego Beer Week events we’ll be hosting at the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. This week, we venture a bit further afield, out into the broad, welcoming arms of America’s…
