Novice, enthusiast, geek, diehard. In most cases, you choose your level. The novice will say “Stone only makes tons of IPAs.” The enthusiast will say “That’s true, except for the word ‘only’.”The geek will memorize hop varieties, release dates, origins, ABVs, IBUs, and every other conceivable detail. But the diehard? People in that category will tell you they didn’t choose IPAs. IPAs chose them.…
Can you imagine what Stone Brewing would be like without hops? Neither can we! We’d like to think we’ve done as right by this bitter botanical as it has by us. So, what makes this one-time-only imperial IPA unique? Experimental hops! We dabbled with a number of new varietals, including HBC 291, which we brewed with for the very first time. Get your nose in that glass and take in the complex…
Australia is well-known for being the home of flora and fauna that exist nowhere else on earth. Among these creatures (both creepy and cuddly), you can also encounter some unique and highly sought-after hop varieties. Only in Oz can you find Galaxy, Ella and Vic Secret hops, which lend striking tropical fruit, citrus and peach flavors to this booming behemoth of an IPA. Originally released to…
Like the classic version, this Odd Year edition was brewed in the authentic, historical style of an imperial Russian stout, but with the addition of several hundred pounds of espresso beans from our friends at Ryan Bros. Coffee. Layers of flavor and complexity augment an already enigmatic brew, leaving this darkly delicious libation positively brimming with deep, rich espresso flavors that meld…
With a beer as bold and robust as Stone Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout, it’s not easy to build another level of flavor. That’s why we use hundreds of pounds of espresso beans to give Stone Espresso Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout an added layer of rich complexity. The coffee flavors meld beautifully with the roasty bitterness of the dark malts for an intense complement of flavors, while…

Introducing Stone Exotic Destinations IPA, a 7.5% creation loaded with Citra and the brand new Talus (HBC 692) hops. Huge floral aroma with notes of citrus and sweet fruit plus just the right hint of tartness. Greetings from Beer Paradise. Population: you.
A fermenting beer never slumbers. Consequently, there is always scattered activity tending our precious beers throughout the dark hours. In these late nights and wee hours that hallowed responsibility falls to the shoulders of the overnight Brew Crew. These brewing soloists brave the long nights, often alone, to do what needs to be done. Most areas of the brewery are dark or in shadows.…
We've made a hell of a lot of IPAs since 1996. Some stick around for decades, some for a few years and some are brief visits before becoming fond memories. This IPA was first released in the fall of 2014, yet we've always found it hard to keep it in "retirement." Its bitter, zesty grapefruit peel infusion create a bright accent to notes of pine resin and fresh citrus, and has always been a major…
Citra and Talus hops pounce on your palate with abundant sweet orange and stone fruit notes. The only thing that will have you growling is when there’s no more of this beautiful beer left.
