Dogtown Duck IPA by Venice Duck Brewery

From Venice Duck Brewery "Meet Dogtown Duck. He is a badass skater duck who perfected a Burt in empty swimming pools after a morning surf sesh at P-O-P. This West Coast IPA is a blend of citra and simcoe hops. It has the perfect blend of pine, citrus, the 70s, salty air and attitude. It has just enough malt structure to support the plethora of hops that dominate the palate from start to finish. The dynamic aroma is piney, citric and slightly floral; its pungent, herbaceous flavor carries a hint of fruity ester that is quickly subdued by a lingering mouth watering bitterness."

Stone Brewing Company is located in Escondido, California.  Established in 1996, it can be purchased in at least 40 of the United States.

Year Round brews include:
Stone Pale Ale
Stone Smoked Porter
Stone IPA
Stone Levitation Amber Ale
Stone Ruination IPA
Stone Cali-Belgique IPA
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA
Stone Go To IPA





Stone Go To IPA

Stone Go To IPA by Stone Brewing Co. is 4.5% ABV.

Stone Go To IPA by Stone Brewing Co.



From StoneBrewing.com "Since Day One, we've been abundantly forthright and fully transparent about our lust for hops. It's led us to craft many an IPA, most of them imperial—some intense for their time and all timeless in their intensity. For Stone Go To IPA, we are embracing our hop obsession in a new way, funneling an abundance of lupulin-borne bitterness into a "session" IPA delivering all the fruity, piney character of a much bigger IPA. To accomplish this, we employed "hop bursting," a new technique wherein an irrational amount of hops is added during the final phase of the brewing process to coax out extreme flavors and aromas while also imparting a burst of desirably pleasant bitterness. The result is an Alpha-acid-rich beer that fans can enjoy more of without missing out on the assertive hop character you, like us, crave. So, sit back and go two with your new everyday go-to IPA and bask along with us in the glory of the almighty hop."

A Vibrant Hop-Bursted Session IPA

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA by Stone Brewing Co. is 8.7% ABV.

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous by Stone Brewing Co.


From StoneBrewing.com "First brewed in 2007 as the Stone 11th Anniversary Ale, this ale was an instant hit. With us. Other folks with great taste loved it too, but we were focused on how much we liked it, and we felt it was truly sublime. That euphoria didn't last long though, as it was soon replaced with the grim reality that when we sold out of it there wouldn't be any more. For us. And that was simply unacceptable. So, we are now blessing ourselves, and you the enlightened, with this ale. Thusly, you may now revel in your own self-righteousness as you see fit with this glorious example of ours. You are genuinely welcome, as it is our pleasure."

Hop Variety: Chinook, Simcoe & Amarillo

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA by Stone Brewing Co. is 6.9% ABV.

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA by Stone Brewing Co.


From StoneBrewing.com "This beer is indeed a complex and surprising combination of flavors, but behind the fancy title is simply delicious Stone IPA dressed up in new Belgian duds. The addition of a carefully selected strain of Belgian yeast adds unexpected layers of flavors and aroma, providing a deliciously funky overtone to the hoppy brightness you already know and love as Stone IPA. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgian culture. Literally."

Hop Variety: Magnum, Perle & Centennial

Stone Ruination IPA

Stone Ruination IPA by Stone Brewing Company is 8.2%ABV.

Stone Ruination IPA from Stone Brewing Co.





From StoneBrewing.com "So called because of its truly "ruinous" effect on your palate, this massive hop monster will change forever your preconceptions of what defines good beer. This is Stone IPA's big brother, and we mean BIG. We essentially began with our already-awesome Stone IPA, threw in an extra-large helping of malt, and added a lot more hops. And then some more. And then even more, resulting in a vibrant blast of citrusy bitterness that hits you on the first sip. Just one taste and you'll know why we call this indelicate jewel "A liquid poem to the glory of the hop!"

Hop Variety: Magnum, Chinook, Centennial

Stone Levitation Amber Ale

Stone Levitation Amber Ale by Stone Brewing Company.

Stone Levitation Ale by Stone Brewing Co.
From StoneBrewing.com "We're best known for brewing aggressive, big-character beers, but we love a great sessionable ale as much as anyone. Most beers at the less-weighty end of the spectrum lack flavor and depth as much as they lack high ABVs, but not Stone Levitation Ale! This deep amber brew has a rich maltiness, big hoppy character, citrus overtones, and an impressively modest alcohol content for a beer with so much flavor packed into it."

Hop Variety: Magnum, Crystal, Simcoe Amarillo

Stone IPA

Stone India Pale Ale by Stone Brewing Co. is 6.9% ABV.

Stone IPA from Stone Brewing Co.



From the Stone Brewing Company "By definition, an India Pale Ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale-and we deliver in spades. Now one of the most well respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it."

Hop Variety: Magnum, Chinook, & Centennial

Stone Smoked Porter

Stone Smoked Porter by Stone Brewing Co. is 5.9% ABV.

Stone Smoked Porter from Stone Brewing Co.


From the Stone Brewing Co. "When first released, our smoky version of a traditional English porter was ahead of its time. Today, it's a highly regarded staple among craft beer fans and our go-to food complement; pairing effortlessly with all kinds of cuisine, from peanut butter and banana sandwiches to braised pork belly to apple pie. This worldly libation is dark, smooth, and complex, with rich chocolate and coffee flavors suffused with subtle smokiness from the addition of peat-smoked malt."

Hop Variety: Magnum & Mt. Hood

Stone Pale Ale

Stone Pale Ale by Stone Brewiing Company is 5.4% ABV.

Stone Pale Ale from Stone Brewing Co.


Stone Pale Ale is Stone Brewing Company's "Southern California take on the classic British ale. Deep amber in color, this beer is a robust and full-flavored interpretation of the traditional style. Its bold malt character is perfectly complemented by a judicious amount of hops, lending it a subtly enticing aroma. This is an ale for those who have learned to appreciate distinctive flavors and have a thirst for something out of the ordinary."

Hop Variety: Magnum & Ahtanum

Amber Waders of Grain by Blue Pants Brewery


From Blue Pants Brewery "America...Beer...Almost like they go hand in hand, right? Except for that time when they didn't. American craft beer has waged warfare on the old mainstays and historical roots of the beer world to earn its place in history. Where we fail to stand tall is in our lagers, where the scene is dominated by watered down, mass produced golden lagers. We offer our Amber Waders as a substitute. A lager with plenty of rich, malty, bready flavor, that is as smooth as its counterparts but stands on its own in flavor."

"Amber Waders is a smooth, malty lager rich with specialty malts but with a clean lager finish. It’s very lightly hopped allowing for the malt and clean crispness of the yeast to stand out. It’s smooth, light, and refreshing and is perfect for a delicious beverage during any outing."

Blue Pants Workman Common Lager

Workman by Blue Pants Brewery

From Blue Pants Brewery "Based on the California Common style but brought to the great Southeast, our Alabama Common is built from stronger stuff than western frontiersman. It's built from the soul of the common man, with the backbone to support a man after a long day in the hot sun. Whether it's plowing fields, harvesting cotton, picking peaches or cutting down the armies that surround your castle, this crisp beer will get you through."

"A light lager hybrid with flavor? That’s what this Alabama Common is. Clean and crisp like a lager, but with the beautiful citrus flavors of Citra hops and Rye to compliment the traditional Northern Brewer hops and hybrid yeast. Incredibly drinkable, but tastier than its lighter, thin, mass market siblings."

Spare Pare Pale Ale by Blue Pants Brewery is 6.0% ABV.

Blue Pants Brewery






From the Blue Pants Brewery "Great things come in twos. Instead of brewing one pale ale we though we would brew two completely different ones and combine them; the first one a more unique Citra, Sorachi Ace, with unique lemon and orange citrus character and the second one a more traditional overture to Magnum, Cascade, and Centennial hops.
