Originally brewed to celebrate Stone's first anniversary in 1997, Stone IPA was an immediate hit and soon became the flagship beer of their young brewery. One of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with tropical, citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. Over time, Stone stepped up the dry-hopping process to extract every bit of magic out of the amazing hops we use. This beer is as bold, fresh and falvorful today as it was back in '97.
