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.

Draft at Stone Bistro. Poured a clear rich amber cor with a fizzy off white head. Smell was a rich malty one, with some toasty and nutty notes. Light malt, toffee, nutty character finishes off this beer. Very drinkable.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear deep brown beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Palate is airy and smooth, modest fine carbonation. Tangy malts, unsweet dark chocolate. Mild spice. A little cherry. A light semi dry finish brings biterness and more spice. A curious affair from Stone.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours deep brown - black with a bubbly beige head. The nose is bitter - sweet, dark fruits, fruit cake, light spice, orange peel, gingerbread and light spice. The taste is bitter - sweet, burnt roast, charred wood, candied peel, cocoa, spicy, burnt rubber, chewy malt and some alcohol heat with a dry, burnt finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit rough around the edges. Charred and a little burnt. So - so.
