It’s time. I’ll be leaving Stone Brewing soon, the company I co-founded and led for the better part of my adult life.
Counting the ramp-up time, I’ve dedicated almost 30 years to…
Over the years, Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout has become one of our most anticipated annual releases – and not just because it’s an astoundingly flavorful beer concocted as a collaboration between FARK’s Drew Curtis, nerd royalty Wil Wheaton and Stone Brewing co-founder Greg Koch. It’s the incredible label art adorning this beer over the years that has elevated it to the pinnacle of beer,…
Stone Brewing was founded in San Diego County, California in 1996 by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. Unsatisfied with how difficult it was to find great beer at the time, Greg and Steve set out to give beer lovers more choices by brewing bold, innovative beers of the absolute highest quality. In the 25+ years they led the company, they helped grow Stone from a micro-brewery in a small warehouse…
Sometimes we use an elaborate combination of hops to bring out juicy, citrusy, dank and tropical flavors in a beer. And sometimes – SOMETIMES – one hop manages to do all that on its own. That’s what we have here with a magical varietal from New Zealand called Motueka. It’s the only hop we used in the whirlpool and dry hopping process and yet this beer is packed with layers of complex, tropical,…
25 years ago we celebrated the 1st Anniversary of our fledgling brewery with a beer that was far away from the craft beer norms at the time. It was far too intense. It was far too hoppy and bitter. Yet it became the shot heard ‘round the world, and beer history was changed forever. We’re talking of course about our flagship Stone IPA. So, to celebrate the beer that (eventually) launched…
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…
Stone Enjoy By 10.31.22 Hazy IPA is here to haunt your beer fridge with a hazy look and a heavy helping of Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin hops. But the refreshing dryness and huge tropical fruit flavors in this double IPA are nothing to be afraid of. The only thing that would truly be terrifying is missing out on this frighteningly fresh creation…
Stone Buenafiesta Tequila Margaritas are made with real tequila from Jalisco, Mexico and blended with just the right amount of real fruit to let that amazing tequila flavor come through. When you use the good stuff, no need to cover it up.
For this Classic Lime edition, we used lemon and agave combined with, of course, lime to bring out everything great about a Cadillac margarita. Serve over…
Brewing beer isn’t always about simply making something tasty (although that’s usually the main goal). It’s an art, and in making art, we’re often inspired by the people in our lives. Originally brewed fora beer festival whose proceeds support breast cancer research, this beer is named for a breast cancer survivor – ViolettaIris Dirkmaat, the mother-in-law of our Sr. Manager of Brewing &…

This edition hit you with that unmistakable strawberry aroma right away but gives way to a subtle sweetness and allows the lime to punch right through. Aloe…
