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…

When Bluejacket's Megan O'Leary Parisi and Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele decided to collaborate, it was essential that they tap a special individual to complete their triad of fermentation domination, and they found just that in Tonya Cornett, the brewmaster at Bend, Oregon's 10 Barrel Brewing Company. Together, they decided on a sturdy yet velvety base of imperial porter and developed a plan to…
To many of us who have lived in the coastal valleys of California, the words “El Camino Real” conjure up images of golden hills, California sunsets, and oak, eucalyptus and pepper trees. Offering a glimpse into what many feel is the “real” California, the El Camino Real wends through the state’s coastline, mountains, fertile farming valleys, and traffic-heavy urban and suburban areas.

It is without a doubt the most exciting ale style for me to…
