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 concept of what…
We are “sorry” we did it again. We couldn’t help it. At Stone Brewing Co., we are an unapologetic band of hopheads psyched to explore the ever-expanding network of nooks and crannies within the IPA universe. We truly felt the need to team up with 4 Hands Brewing Co. and Bale Breaker Brewing Company (also admittedly hop-fanatic brewers) and collaborate on a new double India pale ale—…

This hoppy, deep amber-hued beer was created to shine a light on rare, unexplored grains seldom used in the brewing world. In addition to barley, wheat, rye and triticale, we added malted millet and malted buckwheat to bring the total unique grain count to nine. The earthy, nutty notes of granola found in this experimental multigrain malt bomb are…
For many, California is considered an epicenter for brewing innovation, particularly where hoppy IPAs are concerned. We teamed up with longtime craft compatriots and mutual hop admirers Sierra Nevada to create a truly one-of-a-kind IPA. This special-edition beer conveys the true character of collaboration with touches of inventiveness and creativity. Two batches of an IPA were brewed and expertly…
When it came to creating Ripper, we drew inspiration from the coastal surf cultures of SoCal and Oz. Sourcing classic Cascade from the Pacific Northwest and Australian Galaxy hops from…yes…Australia, we made a beer both lovers of frothy peaks and hoppy green buds will be stoked about. At the same time, we stayed true to our San Diego roots by pushing the hop boundaries of this style. While…
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 assertive dark roastiness and big, bright hop notes for a singularly sublime experience.
CELLAR NOTES
Small Batch Brewer Cecil Menasco thought it would be an ingenious experiment to age our dark…
What you hold in your hands is an experiment turned, in our minds, completely right. This IPA is spiked with Brettanomyces, a special yeast that, over time, brings about charmingly unpredictable complexities of spice, funk, acidity and more. The operative words in our beer-cellaring thesis is “over time,” which we realize runs counter to our “enjoy now” philosophy of drinking devastatingly fresh…
This holiday season we teamed up with our friend Sasha Rumage (aka "tattooed martha") to create a custom beer-based recipe suitable for any Thanksgiving or seasonal dinner spread. you can find the gluten-reduced Stone Delcious IPA…
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…
