Life can feel like a dream when you get to wake up every morning and brew beer. When our brewer Steve Gonzalez and Seismic Brewing’s Andy Hooper decided to talk collabs, it was actually quite simple. “What are you into lately?” “India Pale Lagers.” “How about a red IPL?” “Never had one before. Let’s do it!” And thus, Seismic / Stone Ain’t That A Kick In The Red Imperial IPL was born.

Strata and Mosaic hops give strawberry notes that beautifully enhance the caramel-like malt backdrop. The result is a 9% beer as enjoyable to look at as it is to drink. (And way better than a kick in the head.)
