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.…
Well, well well. 11.11.11. Hmmm. A very special day on several levels. First, it was the Veteran’s Day of all Veteran’s Days. A perfect day to pay tribute and honor those who have served in our country’s military. And perhaps, on a less serious side, 11.11.11 was also Nigel Tufnel Day (who is Nigel Tufnel you ask?...lead guitarist for the legendary band Spinal Tap…made famous for having his…
UPDATE 3: The pre-order offer has ended, but every copy of the book, regardless of how you get it, still allows you to buy a bottle of 2010 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine Aged in Bourbon Barrels or 2010 Stone Old Guardian BELGO Barley Wine Aged in Wine or Bourbon Barrels, as supplies last.

In 2013, we released the second “Odd Beers for Odd Years” versions of our Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine and Stone Imperial Russian Stout and, in my opinion, these are the best we’ve done so far. 2013 Stone Old Guardian OAK-SMOKED Barley Wine was great fresh and is aging…
Yes, that’s right—it’s saison season again! This year will be the sixth year of our hellaciously herbaceous collaboration. First brewed in 2010 at Stone, we have been passing the brewing torch ever since from Dogfish Head to Victory, and now, in 2016, it’s back to us. And just like the fresh herbs that define and distinguish this farmhouse-style ale, we are releasing a fresh new bottle…
Wouldn’t it be nice if every beer went off without a hitch? We’re going to go ahead and respond with a fast “no.” That would mean we are content with playing it safe. Mishap. Disaster. Stories still talked about fourteen years later (and counting) comes with the challenging yet undeniably rewarding job of experimentation. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. Especially not when “the oak chip…
Instead of creating a big buildup about the rebrew of the richly roasty, chocolate-heavy Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, let’s just dig right in with a quote about this beer’s recipe from our president, co-founder…
Here at Stone Brewing, we’ve been getting a few questions…and a virtual tsunami of media that’s taken a healthy dose of creative liberty…about Stone Full Circle Pale Ale, a beer we brewed with purified reclaimed water to help promote @PureWaterSD at an event last week. We were honored to participate and wanted make the story of…
What Makes Hazy IPAs... Hazy? If you’re a long-time IPA drinker, you’ve seen the rise… and rise… of the hazy IPA style. It’s grown from a niche interest of the hop-obsessed and those willing to go to great lengths to get their hands on limited beer, and now it’s dominating shelves & draft lines while bringing in more future IPA fanatics. Whether you’re new to the style or…
Stone and homebrewers go way back. We’ve been hosting the monthly meetings of the local homebrew club, The Society of Barley Engineers, since 1996—back before we even had any tanks in our original building in San Marcos. To this day they still meet the first Wednesday of every month upstairs in the Bistro (the Barley…
