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).

7.8/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Brewed in Berlin. Aroma is fruity hops, tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, bit oily hops, with notes of onions and some lovely dankness. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Beautifully balanced. I wouldn’t mind drinking a sixpack of this baby...

From can at Planet Oedipus ’17. Aroma is mild fruity hops, tropical fruits, strong grapefruit, malt, and orange. Flavour is bitter and mildly sweet. Body is medium. Good and clean IPA, maybe a bit tame for Stone, but nicely done.

Bottle from Biernavigatie. Aroma is wheaty and citrussy with lemon, peppery yeast, soft spicy notes, lots of zesty citrus peel and lime. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate to medium dry hoppy bitter finish. Body is medium. A superior example of Witbier.

Bottle from Biernavigatie. Aroma is very herbal with thyme, sage, grassy, yeast, lemon, green tea, mint, bittering hops, and light biscuity malt. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a fairly dry medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Very herbal, not quite they way I prefer my Saison, but this is well-brewed stuff.

Can from Speciaalbierpakket. Brewed in Berlin. Aroma is malty and mildly hoppy with grapefruit, biscuit and some pine. Flavour is moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very classic APA, it's fine but I expected more outspoken hops from Stone.
