Description
Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station opened May 2013 in Point Loma’s now-historic Naval Training Center. Our newest restaurant venture celebrates the venue’s prior history as a U.S. Navy mess hall, while introducing new industrial and organic features of metal, concrete, reclaimed wood, plant life, water and glass. The restaurant encompasses more than 23,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining and bars, as well as a bocce ball court, outdoor cinema space and an 11,315-square-foot garden. True to our philosophy, we support an artisanal, natural approach to food, and are the largest restaurant purchaser of small-farm organic produce in San Diego County. Executive Chef Rich Sweeney offers an eclectic and creative menu of world-inspired cuisine, and our bar features 40 taps of exceptional craft beers, including Stone year-round and special releases and beers from other small breweries.

Dark brown, thin head. Toasty, bitter chocolate aroma, semi-sweet palate, lots of roasty bitterness. Somewhat messy and unbalanced.

Bright gold, nice head. Fruity, decnt nz hop but sticky malts. Underattenuated and that kind of messes up everything.

Medium brown, tartish, some roast, ale-like fruitiness, in a lager and I think the oats get lost here.

Amber, bright, med smoke, sort of a sticky amber malt, light caramel. Ale-like. It’s okay, the peat comes across a bit harsh on this malt base

5oz pour at the Stone main brewery on Easter Monday, 6th April 2026. Dark brown body, beige roof. Malty little number, with a chocolate, earthy, nutty, woody feel. Interesting.

5oz pour at the main Stone brewery on Easter Monday, 6th April 2026. Clean and clear amber body, wispy white head. Scorched earth aroma and initial taste, not my thing really, but I enjoyed the experience; one of eight 5oz pours taken during the session (after a day in the heat walking around the San Diego Safari Park.

5oz pour at the main Stone brewery on Easter Monday, 6th April 2026. Clean and clear light golden body, white crown on top. Citrus/tropical dankness over a boozy malt base, liked the 10% ABV, gave it a lift and oomph.
