For many, California is considered an epicenter for brewing innovation, particularly where hoppy IPAs are concerned. We teamed up with longtime craft compatriots and mutual hop admirers Sierra Nevada to create a truly one-of-a-kind IPA. This special-edition beer conveys the true character of collaboration with touches of inventiveness and creativity. Two batches of an IPA were brewed and expertly…
When it came to creating Ripper, we drew inspiration from the coastal surf cultures of SoCal and Oz. Sourcing classic Cascade from the Pacific Northwest and Australian Galaxy hops from…yes…Australia, we made a beer both lovers of frothy peaks and hoppy green buds will be stoked about. At the same time, we stayed true to our San Diego roots by pushing the hop boundaries of this style. While…
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA practically named itself. The perfect melding of dark malts with a downright indecent amount of hops forges a complex flavor profile of assertive dark roastiness and big, bright hop notes for a singularly sublime experience.

Small Batch Brewer Cecil Menasco thought it would be an ingenious experiment to age our dark…
What you hold in your hands is an experiment turned, in our minds, completely right. This IPA is spiked with Brettanomyces, a special yeast that, over time, brings about charmingly unpredictable complexities of spice, funk, acidity and more. The operative words in our beer-cellaring thesis is “over time,” which we realize runs counter to our “enjoy now” philosophy of drinking devastatingly fresh…
This holiday season we teamed up with our friend Sasha Rumage (aka "tattooed martha") to create a custom beer-based recipe suitable for any Thanksgiving or seasonal dinner spread. you can find the gluten-reduced Stone Delcious IPA…
In most cases, skipping a step is a bad thing. Not this time. This version of Stone Enjoy By IPA omits the part where we filter out the extra yeast, hop sediment and proteins that build up in beer as a natural result of the brewing process. Though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep. By letting this IPA go unfiltered, its peach and tropical fruit hop flavors are amplified…
We release MANY beers throughout the year and, without fail, no matter what hoppy deliciousness we are talking about, we can’t get through the comments and reactions without some plea for last year’s Stone Xocoveza Mocha Stout. For a whole year now, we have heard: “bring it back,” “I want Xocoveza,” “this is my favorite stout, ever, so I’m signing a petition to bring it back.” One even went as…
The base beer is the recipe of 2014 Stone Homebrew Competitionwinner Chris Banker, an intensely flavorful milk stout brewed with cocoa, coffee and spices to mimic the flavors of Mexican hot chocolate.

Time spent in bourbon barrels gave an already complex beer even more complexity and flavor intensity, layering additional caramel-like and vanilla…
Just as Patrick Henry once stood addressing the city of Richmond in 1775 to spur resistance against the tyrannical British Empire, 20 years ago we were stirred to join the cry for resistance against the tyrannical oppression of industrial beer. And now, the opening of our Richmond brewery is yet another shot in the salvo that has been fired on behalf of American brewing independence. If we wish…
To help celebrate our March-long IPA Madness hop-a-thon, our friends over at Webstaurant Store whipped together an original fish taco recipe featuring a light and fluffy beer-batter utilizing our new core offering STone …
