Tuesday Beer Feature:
Stone The Second Shift to Bock - 4.3% - Kölsch Style w/ Fonio
Kölsch style beers are crisp, pale, and refreshing German beer style. They tend to have a light malt flavor with a slight fruitiness and hint of hops.
Available on draft and in cans to go.
The name of this beer comes from our second shift brew team heading down to a certain German Inspired watering hole in the South Park neighborhood of San Diego. 🐐

Woah, Brahs! It's another episode of Charles Finds Out. Today we're finding out about Stone Brewing Tap Room Kettner, right here in the heart of Downtown San Diego in Columbia District. It's just off the train tracks at Santa Fe Depot! Woah!
It's a cozy cottage feel where you can grab a beer in a can to go, or sit and relax on the patio with a fresh pint off the draft. Miss that train, brah, and catch the next one 'cuz these taps are fire!
Anyway, that's my review. 5/5 for sure! 🍻🙌

May 6 Release
Stone 09.09.09 Vertical Epic Ale.
Draft Only
This is quite a complex and layered beer. Bold and smooth chocolate malt flavors combine with a Belgian yeast lending tropical fruit and banana flavors and hints of spiciness, all complemented by citrus notes from an addition of tangerine peel. Rich vanilla beans add a nice counter to the chocolate malt, actually enhancing the chocolatiness. The finish is smooth, with additional traces of vanilla and toasted characters from French oak.
The goal for this edition of the Stone Vertical Epic Ale series is to be reminiscent of artisanal chocolates accentuated with orange.

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA
Available starting at 12pm on Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Brewed at Stone Liberty Station. Available exclusively at Stone locations in 12oz 6packs and draft.
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.

The day of all days approaches. The day we sit back, relax, stare at the night sky and appreciate the world. There's only one beer that can make that existential pondering better...
Stone Enjoy By Series: Funky Fresh IPA (9.4%)! Dried mango, pineaple, peach, berry, woody and resin notes... This double IPA is too good to miss.
Enjoy it in our tap room, or take a 4-pack of 16oz cans home. It's a tremendously tasty beer that goes down smooth.
Cheers (and Happy 4.20)! 🍻 😍🙌

⚡️New Beer Release⚡️
An electrifying IPA – do drink near water.
Electricity & water generally don’t mix. Electrifyingly tasty beer and being near a body of water, on the other hand – that’s the ultimate combo. Whether your favorite water-adjacent activity is riding waves, hunting denizens of the deep, or just soaking up the sun, this beer enhances the vibes as much as a portable speaker full of your favorite tunes. Mosaic & Amarillo hops lay down the backbeat with tropical fruit notes while Nectaron from New Zealand shreds a screaming solo of fresh peaches, citrus and diesel dankness.
