More information about Stone Brewing IPA
The Stone IPA is almost a classic among India Pale Ales. Launched in 1997, it has been delighting fans of hoppy beer ever since with its unmistakably fruity notes and full hop package. Stone IPA is a synthesis of seven different hop varieties that combine to create a very special beer experience. It is not for nothing that the Stone IPA is rated 99 out of 100 points on the beer rating website ratebeer.com: The hop intensity of this beer is second to none and more than lives up to the name IPA.
The IPA impresses as soon as it is poured with its clear, golden color and the great contrast of the white head. A fresh citrus aroma paired with notes of tropical fruit and a grassy hint of pine immediately hits the nose. The Stone IPA promises summery refreshment and can certainly keep this promise: The pale ale comes across as intensely lemony without being too sweet. The citrus note is balanced by a light malt aroma. Clean bitter notes run through the entire drinking experience, the hoppy attack delivers what it promises and remains clearly hoppy and subtly floral in the finish. The pearly tanginess makes Stone IPA the perfect companion for hot summer days. Stone Brewing's Stone IPA is one of the most popular IPAs in the United States and is also very popular in this country. No wonder, because this beer is a real hop bomb without being too bitter or too floral. A perfect India Pale Ale from Stone Brewing.

Stone Brewing
Like all great stories in the craft beer business, Stone Brewing's begins with a passionate beer drinker brewing his own beer at home. Steve Wagner, Stone Brewing's very first brewmaster, gained his first brewing experience in his own kitchen, and it was a twist of fate when he met Greg Koch in 1989. A beer revolution The two beer aficionados drank countless bottles of beer together while making wild plans. One of those plans, to start their own brewery, persisted. Steve and Greg had planned a revolution: Their goal was to free America from the shackles of industrially brewed mass-produced beers - To move away from standard beers and turn to beery works of art from creative minds and bold craft brewers. In 1996, the time had come and the first keg of Stone Brewing's own production was sold. With this step, the two brewers are not only considered legends in the craft beer scene, but...
