COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
25 years ago we celebrated the 1st Anniversary of our fledgling brewery with a beer that was far away from the craft beer norms at the time. It was far too intense. It was far too hoppy and bitter. Yet it became the shot heard ‘round the world, and beer history was changed forever. We’re talking of course about our flagship Stone IPA. So, to celebrate the beer that (eventually) launched generations of hop fanatics, we present this imperial version of the beer that made our name among the (budding) craft beer legions. Loaded with gloriously bitter notes of piney, citrusy, resinous dankness, it’s everything we love about our classic West Coast style IPA…properly turned up to 11 25 for the occasion.

gripweed57 (7552) - Hamilton Square, New Jersey, USA - JUN 21, 2023
UPDATED: JUN 21, 2023 12 ounce can. Clear, medium gold pour. Firm, frothy beige head leaves rigid, uneven lacing. Big, hoppy nose leans toward a resiny pine character. Flavor is bold and bitter. Elegant, yet brash. Spicy, earthy, dried citrus rinds, caramel malt, boozy bravado. Despite its pedigree, this is a very approachable beer. Yes, it’s arrogant and abrasive, but also quite delectable. Twenty-six years of groundbreaking brews represented in a cylindrical 12 ounce can. Why not!? Enjoy the moment Stone, you’ve earned it!

3.7
Cuso (15774) - Bratislava, SLOVAKIA - JUN 10, 2023
UPDATED: JUN 10, 2023 Can. Orange golden color with medium white head. Arom aof light malt, light caramel with citrus hops. Taste is very alcoholic, llight malty with caramel, followed by nice portion of citrus hops. Could be less alcoholic and more hoppy. Still Good.
