Elaborada por primera vez en 2002 para celebrar el 15 aniversario del establecimiento Port Pizza de Solana Beach, California. Se búscaron y combinaron nuestros 15 favoritos lúpulos que se añadieron cada 15 minutos a la cocción. Algo más oscura que otras doble IPA, nuestra cerveza rezuma lúpulo bondadoso de agujas de pino, cítricos recién exprimidos y especias que son sólo moderadamente atemperadas por un acabado de malta dulce. Afortunadamente, para todos nosotros los lúpuloadictos, hemos decidido preparar esta cerveza más de una vez al año.
Go To IPA
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 embrace our hop obsession in a new way, funneling an abundance of lupulin-borne bitterness into a session IPA that delivers all the fruity, piney character of a much bigger IPA. To accomplish this, we employ hop bursting, a technique wherein an irrational amount of hops is added during the final phase of the brewing process to bring 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.
