It was 25 years ago that we planted our flag in North County San Diego. We showed up to a modest, empty warehouse with some mighty big dreams. We thought people deserved a world with better beer, and were determined to be part of a cultural transformation we believed could happen… even though few others shared our vision. This massive triple IPA is another important milestone on our continuing journey. Speaking of journeys, for reasons you may guess, our 25th Anniversary Celebration in 2021 will be a bit understated for such a monumental anniversary, so we’ve decided to hold our big event in 2022 with the Stone 25+1 Years In The Making Anniversary Celebration. After a quarter of a century and quite a few twists and turns, we’re still here. Here for hops. Here for quality. Here for making great mistakes. Here for more good times. Here for another round. We thank you sincerely for the years of support and pledge that we will, as always, strive to live up to the reasons for your loyalty!

25 years calls for a momentous beer – this Triple IPA will not disappoint! Clocking in at 12.5%, this massively hopped IPA is a true celebration in a bottle of 25 years of exploration, innovation, and of course, great beers. Conceived originally by Kris Ketcham, Sr. Manager, Brewing & Innovation for the 7th Anniversary of Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, this beer demanded to be amped up even more and released nationally to celebrate the Big One. Here’s to 25 more!

Can, marked bb 9/22 for the Australian market. Clear amber with a just off white head that settles to a cm. Aroma of caught breadcrust, kumquat, grilled grapefruit, some mango skin. A whiff of booze. Moderately sweet with plenty of bitterness. Some caramelised flavours that work well with tenor register citrus and stop the bitterness from seeming too stern. Really nice and true to themselves.

Burk i hemmet med stekt fläsk och bönor. Drycken är mycket fyllig. Jag känner apelsinskal och lite torkade dadlar , fikon med en tydlig rejäl beska som lyfter upp smakerna och håller sötman balanserad. Låååång lååååååååååång eftersmak av det jag innan beskrev. Ja lite barr också i smaken. God god

Can from Brewcraft at home. Deep ruby copper pour with fine white head that remains a small ring around the edge of the glass. Aroma is intense pine resin, honey, fuzzy pine hop combined with booze tickles nose. Grapefruit peel. Classic Stone dialed up. Taste is similar - bracing pine grapefruit bitterness, sweet bready biscuit malt, lots of alcohol. Some vegetal notes too. Basically like a Stone IPA but, well, tripled. Very good but not super drinkable given intensity. Avoids being treacly like some giant IPAs.

19/XI/21 - 12Fl. Oz. can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 11/VIII/22, canned: 11/VIII/21 (2021-1467)

Little cloudy orange amber beer, big creamy beige head, bit irregular head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet and malty start, caramel malts, some ripe sweet tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malty start, caramel, very bitter, some chocolate notes, bit of a hop burn. Aftertaste: sweet, resinous bitterness, more hop burn combined with some alcohol burn, very piny, bit sugary, quite the alcohol bomb.

On tap at Bishops Arms Sundbyberg. Hazy amber with a small head. Heavy but still quite balanced. Warming alcohol, pine, grapefruit, some caramel and notes of herbs. Happy Anniversary!

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours amber, clear, with limited, very fine white foam. Aroma is very intensely hoppy, resinous/piney. Body is quite full, with average carbonation and stickiness. Taste is intensely bitter, but with a good malty base behind. Final is long, bitter and malty, even a little spicy.
