Stone Brewing Company

San Diego, CA (We've had too many of these. See page 2 here.)

Stone Americano Stout
Imperial Stout - 8.7% ABV
Pete
     This has a rich coffee flavor and a nice hint of bitter. Of all the coffee beers I've had, this is the one that tastes most like I'm actually drinking something I got at a coffee shop. It is delicious and not noticeably strong.

Stone Buenaveza Salt & Lime Lager
Light Lager - 4.7% ABV
Pete
     Definitely taste salt and lime. It's definitely solid, but I think a lime wedge in it would put it over the top.

Stone Buzzer Beater Double IPA
Imperial IPA - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     Pretty good fairly bitter IPA with a little bit of dank flavor to it. I will say, I had this with lunch when I was massively hungover, and I still enjoyed it, so it must be pretty good.

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA
IPA - 6.9% ABV
Pete
     This one is just outstanding. It has the hoppy flavor of an IPA, but you don't notice the bitterness because there is so much flavor to it. It's a great balance that everyone should try.

Stone Citrusy Wit
Belgian Witbier - 5.3% ABV
Pete
     This one is quite different. Unfortunately, it just isn't very good. You can definitely taste the lime, but that just isn't working in this style for me.

Stone Coffee Milk Stout
Milk Stout - 5% ABV
Pete
     This isn't as sweet as I was expecting from a milk stout, but it is definitely full of coffee flavor. It's a great beer, and was perfect for drinking during Sunday football, as it wasn't too strong or heavy. That all said, I probably would have liked it even more if it didn't advertise itself as a milk stout, it's not sweet enough for that.

Stone Delicious IPA
IPA - 7.7% ABV
Pete
     This is a pretty solid IPA. It's very light in color, but not light in flavor. Nothing really stands out, but I would certainly drink it again.

Stone Enjoy By Black IPA
Black IPA - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     This was a pretty good beer, but I was still a little disappointed by it. It tastes like the regular "Enjoy By", but with some added, almost burnt, flavor that takes away from the 'purity' of the original. I love black IPA's, but this is a case where the 'black' part of it really took away from the glory that is the IPA.

Stone Enjoy By Chocolate & Coffee IPA
Imperial IPA - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     2/14/17 version. Damn good IPA. I can't really taste chocolate or coffee (shame because the mocha IPA is amazing), but it's a great IPA nonetheless.

Stone Enjoy By IPA
IPA - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     This is a pretty incredible IPA. Smooth, crisp, hoppy, it has everything you want. I also definitely didn't notice how strong it was, so that's a bit dangerous.

Stone Enjoy By Tangerine IPA
IPA - 9.4% ABV
Pete
     This is a good IPA. I taste some citrus flavor, but it's more hoppy citrus than actually fruity citrus. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Much like Sculpin, this is a beer where the slight variations are still good, but don't quite measure up to the purity and grace of the original.

Stone Ghost Hammer
IPA - 6.7% ABV
Pete
     Definitely not my favorite IPA. It's a little spicy, and maybe some maltiness too, it just didn't work for me.

Stone Go To IPA
IPA - 4.5 % ABV
Pete
     This is a great beer to get when you want to do some day drinking, but don't feel like drinking the usual light crap. It has a ton of hop flavor that is almost earthy. Really tasty.

Stone Imperial Russian Stout
Russian Imperial Stout - 10.8% ABV
Pete
     This is very thick and a touch boozy, but it's surprisingly lacking in flavor. It's good, but probably not worth the extra price.

Stone IPA
IPA - 6.9% ABV
Pete
     I drank this entire beer without really noticing anything about it. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA
IPA - 10.1% ABV
Pete
     This is definitely different. You can certainly taste the tea, but somehow it is still a pretty tasty beer. It's worth trying for the experience.

Stone Levitation Ale
Red Ale - 4.4% ABV
Pete
     This is a red ale, but tastes more like a pale ale. The defining flavor is the bitterness of the hops, but it isn't too overpowering. Pretty good beer.

Stone Liquid Compass Double IPA
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     Tastes like gin with a little extra maltiness. Combine the gin flavors with high alcohol gives you a pretty slow sipper. Pretty solid.
