This year marks the 10th American Homebrewers Association Rally held at Stone and the hazy New England-style IPA has descended upon the craft beer industry. To put a familiar twist on this new trend, fiancés Corey Magers and Elizabeth Bakas went for an East-West hybrid, brewing a hazy hop bomb with more bitterness than a typical NEIPA. Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic hops elicit a fresh-squeezed OJ…
Stone Ruination IPA was the first full-time brewed and bottled West Coast Double IPA on the planet. As craft beer has evolved over the years, so too have techniques for maximizing hop flavors and aromas. When we updated this incarnation in 2015, we employed dry hopping and hop bursting to squeeze every last drop of piney, citrusy, tropical, punk, metal & hard rock essence from the hops that…

There was a LOT of talk about what this beer could be. The only survivor from the shipwreck of ideas between Adam Avery, Greg Koch and Thomas Tyrell had been a mutual like for Bamberd, its smoked beers, and Greg's friendship with Mahrs Bräu brewmaster Stephan Michel. With that firm affirmation in hand, a WhatsApp invitation was extended. But still, the…
Stone Sanctimonious IPA represents the elevated state of reverence that Stone extols for the venerable and almighty Hop. Amarillo & Simcoe hops have been anointed to bestow their divine qualities on this sacred brew. This limited release is part of Stone's Hop Worship Seasonal IPA Series... Glory be to those who imbibe it in its freshest form... and faithfully worship thy Hop in the beauty of…
Stone Brewing is pretty much synonymous with hops, and for good reason - we've had a ton of practice crafting complex flavor profiles through the simple balancing of different varieties of these wondrous green buds. While hops are typically downplayed in sour beer styles, we couldn't resist taking the Stone approach and creating a dry-hopped wild ale, bringing two very different traditions…
What better way to commemorate a fresh start than with an uber-fresh beer? This variant of our Enjoy By IPA series features innovative brewing techniques that give it a bright effervescence and a super-dry finish. It makes for a great craft beer alternative to traditional “bubbles,” and it’s still blasted with enough explosive hop flavor to rival any fireworks display. Enjoy its refreshing notes…
Stone Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout is a thick, rich and sinful beer that’s heavy on the palate and massively aromatic with notes of anise, black currants, coffee and roastiness.
Cellar Notes
Intense coffee characteristics abound from both the dark malts and the espresso, while rich caramel-like and vanilla notes from the bourbon barrel aging adds layers of complexity, a touch of…
Stone Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout is a thick, rich and sinful beer that’s heavy on the palate and massively aromatic with notes of anise, black currants, coffee and roastiness.
Cellar Notes
This profoundly complexed beer will overwhelm all but the most stalwart beer fanatics with its level of intensity. Rich coffee, bitter and milk chocolate characteristics abound, while dark…

Where Stone goes boldly, the Evil Twin goes madly. Put them together in a city like Berlin, mix in the local influence and the result is something brazenly twisted. No other way to describe such a beer as this. Traditionally, the Berliner Weisse style is mildly tart and low ABV. Naturally, neither Stone nor Evil Twin have much of an interest in sticking…

The multi-year journey of this beer began in 2006 at the Craft Brewers Conference in Seattle when our own Greg Koch met and first became friends with Ron Jeffries, Brewmaster of the famed Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales. In 2007, on a trip to Tokyo, Greg by chance encountered Kjetil Jikuin of Norway’s Nøgne-Ø brewery and formed another new friendship. 2008…
