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.

On tap at Stone Liberty Station. It pours a clear golden orange color with an off white head. The aroma is a little spicy/herbal with some orange and lemon oil. Potent. The flavor has a little caramel and toast with some lemon oil, orange and hop spice. Sweet and a bit full on the palate in the finish for me.

The flavor has some noticeable smoke with some hints of phenol on the exhale. Salty, with some hints of apricot and lemon. Medium acidity. Light bodied, but with a silky mouth feel. It has a really interesting rose-like smoky finish. Wow.

On tap at Stone Liberty Station. It pours a pale, hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some wheat bread, lemon and peach fuzz with some very minor funk. The flavor is very soft and fruity with creamy notes of peach and light lemon water. Full, creamy body, but not sweet or alcoholic. It sure feels like a low gravity Berliner. Very mild tartness, but good peachy fruity character. Yum.
