We've made a hell of a lot of IPAs since 1996. Some stick around for decades, some for a few years and some are brief visits before becoming fond memories. This IPA was first released in the fall of 2014, yet we've always found it hard to keep it in "retirement." Its bitter, zesty grapefruit peel infusion create a bright accent to notes of pine resin and fresh citrus, and has always been a major…
This exquisite liquid patchwork of more than a dozen hops is a devastatingly fresh double IPA. Freshness is a key component of many beers – especially big, hoppy IPAs – but we've taken it further, a lot further, with this one. We brewed this IPA specifically NOT to last. We've gone to extensive lengths to ensure you get your hands on this beer within an extraordinarily short window, and we've…
Headbands, high socks and amazing hoppy beers. Stone is once again bringing our own take on the madness of March with our Stone IPA Madness program, introducing this limited release Stone Got Mad Hops IPA for the celebration.
Our brewers love the opportunity to build a beer around one particular hop variety and showcase what makes it unique. This beer is loaded with Sabro hops, which give it…
Stone Pale Ale is our Southern California take on the classic British ale. Deep amber in color, this beer is a robust and full-flavored interpretation of the traditional style. Its bold malt character is perfectly complemented by a judicious amount of hops, lending it a subtly enticing aroma. This is an ale for those who have learned to appreciate distinctive flavors and have a thirst for…
Throughout our history, we’ve built a (fairly deserved) reputation for being obsessed with massively hoppy IPAs. And this groundbreaking creation you see before you is largely responsible for that legacy. Did you know that Stone Ruination IPA was the first year-round, brewed-and- bottled West Coast Double IPA on the planet? True story. As the technology and techniques for maximizing hoppy…
The base beer is the recipe of 2014 Stone Homebrew Competition winner Chris Banker, an intensely flavorful milk stout brewed with coffee and spices to mimic the rich flavors of Mexican hot chocolate.
CELLAR NOTES
We were so smitten with the initial batch aged in extra añejo tequila barrels that we brought in more barrels and brewed more beer specifically to fill them. The…
The base beer is the recipe of 2014 Stone Homebrew Competition winner Chris Banker, an intensely flavorful milk stout brewed with cocoa, coffee and spices to mimic the rich flavors of Mexican hot chocolate.
CELLAR NOTES
Time spent in bourbon barrels gave an already complex beer even more complexity and flavor intensity, layering additional caramel-like and vanilla flavors on…
This golden beauty was created solely for barrel experimentation—you won’t find an unaged “2012 Stone Belgian-Style Golden Ale” in bottles anywhere (you can stop looking now).
CELLAR NOTES
Stone Brewer Matt Courtright came up with the recipe for this Belgian-style ale, designing it specifically to be aged in wine barrels. We did just that for over two years,…
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA practically named itself. The perfect melding of dark malts with a downright indecent amount of hops forges a complex flavor profile of bitter-edged dark roastiness and big, bright hop notes for a singularly sublime experience.
CELLAR NOTES
Small Batch Brewer Cecil Menasco thought it would be a delicious experiment to age our…
