Our Sr. Manager of Brewing & Innovation Steve Gonzalez has had a long career in the fermentation business. At Stone, he’s managed barrel-aging projects, crafted recipes for multiple national-release beers, and introduced ingredients & brewing techniques that have contributed to Steve’s reputation as a bit of an enigma. Originally created on the six-barrel pilot brewery inside our…

Call it the Capital of Craft. Or America’s Finest Beer Destination. Call it what you want. We call it home. The independent craft beer community has become an ingrained piece of San Diego culture and as synonymous with the county as perfect weather and awe-inspiring sunsets. We at Stone Brewing joined forces with six local breweries in support of the San Diego…
Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches combines the inspiration of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate and Tres Leches treats in an imperial stout that’s smooth, creamy and intensely indulgent. Made from all that’s good about the holidays, Stone Xocoveza is brewed with chocolate, coffee, Pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. At the pop of the…
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 step and letting this devastatingly fresh, golden-hued double IPA go un filtered, the beer takes on a hazy appearance and its peach and tropical fruit hop aroma are intensified. So though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep.
Like the other IPAs in this…
It started about ten years ago. In the Mens Room at our offices in Escondido that we’d recently moved into. It was like most office restrooms. Too bright. Sterile. Not a modicum of design. Laid out on a CAD drawing once upon a time (the offices were new to us, but definitely not new), and executed with banal efficiency. Without style. Or thought. Materials quality were the very definition…
In 2019, we partnered with the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) to host a people’s choice homebrew competition at our Richmond, Virginia brewing facility. The clear favorite and winner of the competition was a creamy, hoppy, tropical creation from Richmond native Rusty Burrell of @rustybarrelhomebrewing. Over the years, these competitions (which we’ve hosted as far back as 2009) have…
Just like its golden envelope-pushing counterpart, Stone Enjoy By Black IPA is intensely hoppy and should be enjoyed über fresh to experience its vibrant stone and tropical fruit flavors and dankness.
This double IPA’s dark-colored malt canvas comes from German Sinamar and from Patagonia Black Pearl barley, which adds a pleasingly smooth taste. The hop profile is predominantly Australian,…
In most cases, skipping a step is a bad thing. Not this time. This version of Stone Enjoy By IPA omits the part where we filter out the extra yeast, hop sediment and proteins that build up in beer as a natural result of the brewing process. Though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep. By letting this IPA go unfiltered, its peach and tropical fruit hop flavors are amplified…
