It's late July as I write this. Weather's been great. Good San Diego weather–nice and hot, but not too hot. The days are like a warm burrito accented by the salsa fresca of the afternoon's cool ocean breezes. Perfect beer drinking weather (admittedly, I think ALL weather is perfect beer drinking weather). August is knocking on the door. September and our 5th Anniversary Open House is just around…
"This beer takes hops to the ridiculous" is what we wrote on the back of our 2nd Anniversary IPA. And on the 3rd Anniversary IPA bottle we wrote, "Pucker up baby, this brew packs one heckuva hop punch (and then some!)." See, in comparison to our original Stone IPA recipe, we doubled the bittering hops for the 2nd anniversary, and we tripled 'em for the 3rd. So what do we have to say for ourselves…
In 2002, we released Stone Ruination IPA, history’s first full-time brewed & bottled West Coast style double IPA (you can win a bar bet with that one!). In 2012 we celebrated with a special edition we called Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA. That monster of a beer has now become a staple of our annual release calendar under the name Stone RuinTen Triple IPA. This version that you now…
STEAL THE SHOW AT YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY BBQ WITH THIS DUAL USE OF OUR NEWLY-CANNED STONE ENJOY BY UNFILTERED IPAYep, we went there. Well, she did anyway (on our behalf). As the days heat up and the 4th of July approaches, The Beeroness has fulfilled one of our weirder fantasies by using the first-ever canned…
It’s been four years since this otherworldly stout burst out of our collective proverbial chests. Four years since the primally viscous first release ooze-snaked across the galaxy. This specialty imperial stout draws its huge flavor from wheat (that’s Wil, natch), pecans and bourbon barrels (two homages to Drew’s home of Kentucky) and Greg’s lifelong quest for pushing the limits of “why the hell…
This exquisite liquid patchwork of more than a dozen hops is a devastatingly fresh double IPA. Freshness is a key component of many beers – especially big, hoppy IPAs – but we've taken it further, a lot further, with this one. We brewed this IPA specifically NOT to last. We've gone to extensive lengths to ensure you get your hands on this beer within an extraordinarily short window, and we've…
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. For this version of Stone Enjoy By IPA, we thought: “We don’t always have a filter, so why should our beer?” By skipping a…
YOU'RE GUARANTEED TO HOG these BEER DOUGHNUTS ALL TO YOURSELFWhat happens when craft IPA meets doughnut? Greatness, that’s what. Again, our cohort in all things packed with flavor, The Beeroness has made the unimaginable happen at our behest. This lip-smacking puffy doughnut uses beer in the batter itself and is then piped…
The big wide world inspires our imagination and fuels our passions. Anything from music, film, beer, literature, architecture, food, engineering, poetry…all art forms essentially, including more beer. We steal with any and all things that possess the one value that we hold most dear: authenticity. The important thing of course is that ‘It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take…
Instead of creating a big buildup about the rebrew of the richly roasty, chocolate-heavy Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, let’s just dig right in with a quote about this beer’s recipe from our president, co-founder…
