What is Stone Ale? It’s hop-forward, not hop-dependent. At 4.6% ABV, it’s a balance between Stone’s trademark hops, and China’s love of drinkability.

The taste has some melon, lemon, grapefruit, and stone fruit.
This massive imperial stout has been a favorite among our fans (and us) since its inception in 2013. As if the pecans, wheat and flaked rye weren't enough, we went ahead and aged 1/4th of this beer in bourbon barrels. The result is a whopping, intense, superhero of a beer with profound complexity that makes it ideal for cellaring... if you can wait that long.

Thanks for coming along on this ride with us.Notes to the team from the European tour with Metallica and Enter Night PilsnerTwenty-four-…

But we know it’s not aluminum. Not this year at least. Instead we have officially decided hops will be our focus. We know, again. So, our no-aluminum-yet-lotsa-hops Stone 23rd Anniversary Uncanny Anni Double IPA…
On June 11, 2019 a UK alcohol industry ‘watchdog’ called The Portman Group sent a letter to our UK importer. Odd, it seemed, why not send directly to the creator of the beer? It’s not quite the responsibility of our importer to create our label artwork and text. Nevertheless, they did the dutiful deed of forwarding it to us for our eventual, and significant bemusement. One might think that…

In his latest blog, Greg talks about what it’s like to be a high school outcast in his hometown of Pataskala, Ohio, and how he’s still an outcast there nearly 40 years later. Yes, there’s beer involved...lots of beer.I grew up in a small town in central Ohio called Pataskala. In Middle School and High School I was a social pariah. An outcast. I was so unpopular that others…
