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 Escondido brewing facility, this ethereal double IPA is nothing short of silky-smooth and supernaturally easy to drink, with a thick, mysterious haze and complex flavor artfully woven from a glorious (and generous) hop bill.
