Stone Brewing Co. is known for its Arrogant Bastard Ale, but this time we’re going with Stone IPA (as in India Pale Ale). It’s highly hopped and high in alcohol at an ABV of 6.9%. It has a medium malt character with a heavy dose of over the top hops. Stone Brewing Co. was founded in 1996 by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner in San Marcos, CA. In 2005 they moved to Escondido, CA, but are planning to add facilities in Europe.
