While pairing food with beer is becoming more and more popular, there is another way to enjoy beer while getting your daily nourishment. Cooking with beer is no longer just for dads who tip their beer bottle out into a chili pot. Different beers can be incorporated into your meals (and desserts!) and it should be no surprise that we at Stone Brewing are big fans of this culinary union.…
Our all-important, hop-driven quest to deliver the most devastatingly fresh IPA on the planet facilitated a paradigm shift in 2012 with the launch of Stone Enjoy By IPA. Not only did we brew this beer with more than 10 different hops, we brewed it specifically NOT to last. Acclaimed for its groundbreakingly short shelf life, this intense double IPA brought forth a whole new concept of what…
Wouldn’t it be nice if every beer went off without a hitch? We’re going to go ahead and respond with a fast “no.” That would mean we are content with playing it safe. Mishap. Disaster. Stories still talked about fourteen years later (and counting) comes with the challenging yet undeniably rewarding job of experimentation. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. Especially not when “the oak chip…
Meet Laura Ulrich—Small Batch Brewer at Stone Brewing. Having just celebrated her 12th anniversary at Stone, Laura has undoubtedly become an integral piece of Stone's small batch brewing orchestration. Some of her personal highlights include playing key roles in the creation of beers such as Smoked Porter With Vanilla Bean and Southern Charred, the…
This barrel-aged palate-saver has been a favorite among our fans—and us—since its inception in 2013. Pecans, wheat, flaked rye and bourbon-soaked barrels provide this whopping, complex superhero version of an imperial stout with a profound complexity that makes it ideal for cellaring—if you can wait that long. Now, we can’t say this beer bestows jedi powers, exactly, but your…
After brewing this intense double IPA with more than 10 different hops and consistently delivering it faster than any bottled IPA on the planet, we decided to do something different with this Stone Enjoy By IPA—we took it to another level, again. Puréed tangerines were added to the batch to create a devastatingly fresh IPA with a tang of tangerine. The flavors yielded by this addition …
When it comes to our beers and the ingredients we use, we give a wit. So rather than spinning just the same fruit wheel of the classic orange peel, we punched up our wit with the dynamic duo of tangerine and kaffir lime leaf. The fruit-forward aromatics and flavors are perfectly balanced, so you don’t have to bother adding a slice (or leaf) to the rim of your glass. Even with this lack of…
Clearly, style lines have been crossed. Is it half-IPA, half-stout? Not quite. It’s definitely all IPA, but it’s also the best of both styles, making this love child of a beer simply just a beautiful, pleasure-seeking meld of imperial IPA and mocha indulgence. How did we come up with this inexplicably delicious creation? Well, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is…
The relationship between good drink and social spirit is clear to just about anyone who has ever attended a worthwhile gathering. Whether at a casual picnic or a formal banquet, the good host knows the irreplaceable value of libation in bringing people closer together. Perhaps less obvious, but no less important, is the role that togetherness plays with creating our favorite of all amenities:…
