FACT SHEET: Wil Wheaton / Drew Curtis / Greg Koch Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout

Front and center this year is the result of Wil’s creative machinations taking the art direction duties with world-renowned fantasy artist Joe Jusko representing our gargoyle’s triumph over the evils in the world of beer.  Six years into this amazing w00tstout legacy and I continue to be stunned and humbled by the response of our fans.  Sure, it’s an amazingly delicious massive Russian Imperial Stout partially inspired by Kentucky Derby Pie of Drew’s home state.  And speaking of Drew, we asked him to lean into two of his strengths: drinking w00tstout and chatting up a storm.  So this year he’ll MC our wildly nerd-nominious celebration of beer and geekery known as HopCon/w00tstout release party held annually during San Diego’s Comic-Con.  The nerd lives in all of us.  Celebrate it!  Now is the golden age for us lovers of awesome things.  We’re here.  We’re vast, and we’ve got great taste.  This beer is an ode to you, Fellow Nerd.

Have a Beer with the Team Stone Trio: Joel Grosser, Steve Gonzalez and Jeremy Moynier

When Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele left the company to start a new venture last year, there was little question about how the brewery would continue its operations. Mitch was a highly respected and beloved figure at Stone—in fact, he is a rock star in the craft beer industry—and he had built a company-wide culture of cooperation and teamwork that was so successful it was sure to thrive even without him there.

Best New Beers of 2016

It’s tough to describe the feeling we get when we come across a new beer. It happens to us quite a bit; we’re fortunate enough to get to try a lot of new beers. And yet, every new beer that comes across our desks is so full of promise and hope; it’s like we’re holding 12 ounces of Christmas every single time. Of course, not every beer lives up to that sense of hope.
