A fermenting beer never slumbers. Consequently, there is always scattered activity tending our precious beers throughout the dark hours. In these late nights and wee hours that hallowed responsibility falls to the shoulders of the overnight Brew Crew. These brewing soloists brave the long nights, often alone, to do what needs to be done. Most areas of the brewery are dark or in shadows.…
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. was the very first craft brewery I ever visited. This was waaaay back in 1984, when they were in their original location. Brewmaster Steve Dressler was there brewing (if my memory serves) on a 10-barrel system, and all the beer was fermenting in open fermenters that were repurposed dairy tanks. This visit…
Our all-important, hop-driven quest to deliver the most devastatingly fresh IPA on the planet facilitated a paradigm shift in 2012 with the launch of Stone Enjoy By IPA. Not only did we brew this beer with more than 10 different hops, we brewed it specifically NOT to last. Acclaimed for its groundbreakingly short shelf life, this intense double IPA brought forth a whole new conceptof what…
In 2002, we released Stone Ruination IPA, history’s first full-time brewed & bottled West Coast style double IPA (you can win a bar bet with that one!). In 2012 we celebrated with a special edition we called Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA. That monster of a beer has now become a staple of our annual release calendar under the name Stone RuinTen Triple IPA. This version that you now…
STEAL THE SHOW AT YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY BBQ WITH THIS DUAL USE OF OUR NEWLY-CANNED STONE ENJOY BY UNFILTERED IPA
Yep, we went there. Well, she did anyway (on our behalf). As the days heat up and the 4th of July approaches, The Beeroness has fulfilled one of our weirder fantasies by using the first-ever canned…
It’s been four years since this otherworldly stout burst out of our collective proverbial chests. Four years since the primally viscous first release ooze-snaked across the galaxy. This specialty imperial stout draws its huge flavor from wheat (that’s Wil, natch), pecans and bourbon barrels (two homages to Drew’s home of Kentucky) and Greg’s lifelong quest for pushing the limits of “why the hell…
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…
Our all-important, hop- driven quest to deliver the most devastatingly fresh IPA on the planet facilitated a paradigm shift in 2012 with the launch of Stone Enjoy By IPA. Not only did we brew this beer with more than 10 different hops, we brewed it specifically NOT to last. For this version of Stone Enjoy By IPA, we thought: “We don’t always have a filter, so why should our beer?” By skipping a…
YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO HOG these BEER DOUGHNUTS ALL TO YOURSELF
What happens when craft IPA meets doughnut? Greatness, that’s what. Again, our cohort in all things packed with flavor, The Beeroness has made the unimaginable happen at our behest. This lip-smacking puffy doughnut uses beer in the batter itself and is then piped…
The big wide world inspires our imagination and fuels our passions. Anything from music, film, beer, literature, architecture, food, engineering, poetry…all art forms essentially, including more beer. We steal with any and all things that possess the one value that we hold most dear: authenticity. The important thing of course is that ‘It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take…
