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 5 oz pour at Stone, Liberty Station. Reddish brown piut, patchy tan foam head. Glad I could make my first visit here during anniversary time, and try this unique, celebratory brew. Dank piney hops. Some dark malt toasty character, but quite mild compared to others I've had within the substyle. Bold palate. Long lingering dank, weedy hop profile. Really interesting. Enjoyed this one.
10 oz pour at Stone Liberty Station. Well, two 5 oz pours brought by two different servers after ordering one. This beer is so good. I'll allow it. Clean and bright golden pour. Patchy head. Dank nose, piney and citrus hops leaning toward pineapple. Lots of pineapple character on flavor while preventing this from being a fruity IPA. Bold and bitter hop flavors. Absolute standout of a west coast double IPA. Always wished I could try Ruination again. This one is an incredible consolation.
Draft pour pint at Stone, Liberty Station. Cloudy golden pour, thin head. Lots of grassy hop nose. Inviting. Easy drinking highly flavorful session. Bitter bite that lingers and really captures a full IPA feel. Very tasty.
