AN UNFILTERED HOP EXPLOSION FROM OUR HEROES FOR HIRE

ABV: 9%

Since 2014, the Stone Spotlight Series competition allows our brewers to create two-person teams and vy for the chance to have their recipe brewed and distributed nationwide. This year, Brandon and Miguel rolled in like a team of mercenaries and were crowned champions. The victorious creation was the result of their mission to brew a play on the trendy unfiltered IPAs of the day, but make it their own. "How would Stone do this?", they asked themselves. The result is one of the most intense hop experiences we at Stone Brewing have ever created. (And that’s saying something.)
