More information about Stone Brewing IPA
Stone IPA is already almost a classic among India Pale Ales. Released in 1997, it has been delighting friends of hoppy beer ever since with its unmistakable fruity notes and full hop pack. Stone IPA is a total work of art made up of seven different hop varieties, which combine to create a beer experience of a special kind. It's not for nothing that Stone IPA ranks 99 out of 100 on the beer review site ratebeer.com: The hop intensity of this beer is unparalleled and more than lives up to the name IPA.
The IPA excites as soon as you pour it with its clear, golden color and the great contrast of the white head. Immediately, a fresh citrus scent paired with tropical fruit notes and a grassy hint of pine rises to the nose. The Stone IPA promises summer refreshment and can certainly keep that 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 finish keeps its promise and remains clearly hoppy and discreetly floral in the finish. The pearly rez makes the 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 it enjoys great popularity in this country as well. No wonder, as this beer is a real hop bomb without being too bitter or 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...
