Stone 17th Anniversary IPA

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONOur latest anniversary beer starring an all-German cast of malt and hops is yet one more glorious example of a Stone IPA brewed outside the box. Our brewers have brought their experiments with German hops to fruition leaving convention behind to create this hefty IPA entirely with pilsner malts. These provide a superbly crisp mouthfeel while a unique mix of noble and new-school hop varieties adds layers of bright bitter flavors. Despite the daunting name this beer isn’t designed to bring about the end of the world but it just might destroy some of your preconceived notions of what an IPA can be. Hops bill: Bitter-hopped with Magnum Late kettle additions: Herkules Merkur and Opal Whirlpool: Emerald (aka Smaragd) and Strisselspalt from the Alsace region of France which is just a stone’s throw across the Rhine from the German border. Dry-hopped with a 50/50 blend of German Hersbrucker and Sterling Malt bill: Weyerman Pilsner Malt Briess GoldPils Vienna
