Description
Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Stone Brewing has come a long way since opening in San Diego County in 1996. Now the ninth-largest craft brewer in the U.S., we operate brewing facilities on both coasts – Escondido, California and Richmond, Virginia. On top of making badass beers for over two decades, we operate restaurants and tap rooms across three continents as well as the largest craft-centric beer distribution business in the U.S. Our beers are available in all 50 states and more than 40 countries worldwide.
Stone Brewing was bought in 2022 by Sapporo Brewing (Japan) and in 2026 by Duvel Moortgat (Belgium).

(Can) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with notes of white bread, apricots and lime. Malty taste with bread, lime and a light saltiness emerging after a while. Low grassy bitterness. Light body, dry. The salt and lime stays fairly well in the background, making it quite refreshing and drinkable, but possibly a bit mainstream. Quite nice.

Hazy, thin head, sweet, great expression of pickling spice, mild tartness. Bitter, spicy, balanced. I shouldn't like this as much as I do.

Brown, medium, lots of cinnamon, some vanilla. Not my favourite base but solid adjunct treatment.

Can 35,5 cl. Pours a cloudy golden with a roughish, lacing, off-white head. Very typically American biscuity hop aroma with discreet, spicy hops. Solid body, sweet maltiness and a solid bitterness. Hop accents are fairly meh. 260326

On tap at the Oceanside gardens venue on 22nd March 2026. Looked good in it's bulbous glass, red hue, beige top. Malty and semi sweet from start to finish. Light bitterness towards the end, interesting.
