A few years back, The Bruery released a delightful barrel-aged weizenbock called Ride That Goat, which served as the initial spark of inspiration for what you’re holding in your hand. In German, Ride That Goat loosely (with a dose of creative license) translates to “Fahrt die Ziege.” We’ll get back to that in a second. Our friends from up the Interstate 5…
Our jumpshot isn’t pretty. And we’re no good when it comes to rebounding. In fact, you don’t want us anywhere near a basketball court. But when it comes to the perfect beer for taking it all in, we’ve got you covered. This beer has hops – a roster of 5, to be exact – added to the dry hop. Mandarina Bavaria & Mosaic provide the juicy orange flavors; Motueka, Citra & Helga assist the dank…
This extremely limited sour release is a complex blend of a traditional sour base beer fermented in wine barrels with California Sauvignon Blanc juice with Belgian and wild yeast. This was then combined with Stone Cali-Belgique IPA that had been foudre aged for two years with three strains of Brettanomyces yeast.…

In the lexicon of craft beer, there are special release beers that are hard to obtain and then there are 'whale' beers that are the stuff of legend. Unobtainium. Beers that can't simply be bought. One must favor a friend who knows a brewer that can get it for the right trade and a bit of luck. For some craft diehards this is silly. For others it's a…
It’s no secret that at Stone Brewing we love hops. We also love using other REAL ingredients. This special draft-only release combines real mandarin orange and pineapple with a more-than-generous addition of hops. Using London Ale III yeast gives this beer some added body that serves as a jumping-off point for the fruit and hops. It’s juicy, ultra-refreshing and of course….hoppy!
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…
Series 11 of 14
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…
