Stone 20th Anniversary Encore Series: 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
2016 marks 20 years of brewing big, bold beers and we’re celebrating with the Stone 20th Anniversary Encore Series, bringing back a slew of beloved beers that came and went…but were never forgotten. See all of the rereleases at Stone20th.com.
Who knew a hop shortage in 2008 would give rise to such a memorable, delicious beer? For this anniversary release, we traded in the bitterness of hops for the bitterness of unsweetened chocolate. Flaked oats added body and creaminess while dark-roasted malts contributed pronounced coffee notes, creating an immensely flavorful yet incredibly smooth imperial oatmeal stout.
More than seven years later, we’re proud to brew a brand new batch of this fan-favorite recipe for those who missed out and for those who remember its lingering, enticing notes of cocoa and bitter sweetness.
Blood Orange Gose - Highway 128 Blood Orange Gose
Our Blood Orange Gose is a tart, refreshing wheat ale that is kettle-soured with lactobacillus and brewed with sea salt and coriander. However, unlike traditional versions of the style, ours features liberal additions of blood oranges during fermentation. This imparts tangy citrus notes that complement the champagne-like flavors, creating a complex and sessionable ale perfect for any occasion.
