A Dry-Hopped Pilsner Played Through a Distortion Pedal: Metallica & Stone Brewing - Berlin bring Enter Night Pilsner to Europe

A Dry-Hopped Pilsner Played Through a Distortion Pedal: Metallica & Stone Brewing - Berlin bring Enter Night Pilsner to Europe   Berlin (April 3, 2019) – Metallica and Stone Brewing’s Arrogant Consortia imprint bring Enter Night Pilsner to Europe. The beer brewed at Stone Brewing - Berlin is available as of now in over 30 countries in Europe. The Enter Night Pilsner, a dry-hopped Pilsner, is a unique expression of the shared values that have helped define Metallica and Stone Brewing: fiercely independent, transcending genres, shattering preconceptions and challenging convention. It is the outcome of a genuine creative spark between two entities that grew to become international forces of nature in their respective worlds, yet came from the fringes.   The members of Metallica participated at every step of the process alongside the talented Stone Brewing brew crew. Finally Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and Stone co-founder Greg Koch enjoyed multiple occasions at Lars’ home ‘discussing’ (industry-speak for ‘drinking’) beers.  After all, there was only one chance to get this right, and anything less than an incredible result was not an option.   "The amount of ideals and outlooks that Metallica and Stone Brewing share are endless. I’m always blown away about how similar our paths forward have been. Our view of the worlds that we each inhabit, of creativity and process, and sense of place in relation to our peers and ‘The Man’ are almost identical,” says Lars. “We saw how much our fans liked Enter Night Pilsner on the US tour, and we’re thrilled to be able to share it with fans during the European tour as well.”   “I remember seeing Metallica on the cover of a magazine just after the Black Album was released,” recalls Greg. “On the cover was a quote that resonated with me to this day: ‘Metallica didn’t go to number one, number one came to them.’  I loved what that meant. Do it your way and never compromise your art. If you’re great at what you do people will come. I view that simple quote as one of the founding philosophical elements of Stone Brewing.”   Marcus Thieme, Vice President & General Manager European Operations Stone Brewing, adds: “We are incredibly proud to brew Enter Night Pilsner for the European markets here at Stone Brewing in Berlin. This beer is a high quality dry-hopped Pilsner, which we’re excited to say will be available as one of our year-round core beers. Enter Night Pilsner is here to stay!”       Aside from its intense drinkability, craft enthusiasts will note Enter Night Pilsner’s remarkable flavor and aroma which artfully combine the beauty of a traditional Northern German Pilsner with modern overtones of aggression. The resulting genre-defying dry-hopped pilsner is hop forward with sound bitterness on the finish. Enter Night Pilsner is brewed to be enjoyed fresh and is best enjoyed with your friends, be it in bars, backyards, or at the European Metallica Tour – and of course with your favorite music ...                                                                                                                                          “… wherever you may roam!”     Quick Facts: Name: Enter Night Pilsner Stats: 5.7% ABV, 45 IBUs Availability: 0,5l cans, four-packs and from draft across Europe all year-round Enter Night Mini Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrckTkcFP7Q&feature=youtu.be Metallica Concerts: Metallica.com/tour Photos and Videos: www.stonebrewing.eu/about/press   Tasting Notes: Stone Brewing and Metallica make the perfect collaboration: A fiercely independent band hooks up with a rebellious craft brewery.

Stone UNIQCAN-Series 2019: Lambrate / Stone Scarlet Hibiscus Pale Ale

… prepare yourself for a fruity, flowery hoppy Hibiscus tea inspired Pale Ale with a distinctive Sub-Saharan touch! Berlin, February 7, 2019 – The Lambrate / Stone Scarlet Hibiscus Pale Ale is Stone Brewing - Berlins eighth Stone UNIQCAN release and the first in 2019. This time Stone Brewing Berlin teamed up with their friends from Birrificio Lambrate from Milan, Italy. The brewers were inspired to create this beer after a long night out in Milan last year when Stone Brewing Master Brewer Thomas Tyrell and his friends from the Birrificio Lambrate got served a “Bissap”, a sweet tea known as the national drink of Senegal.   The Lambrate / Stone Scarlet Hibiscus Pale Ale is really one of a kind. The floral characteristics of Cascade hops along with the fruity citrus notes of Mandarina Bavaria and Citra support the tart and cranberry-like aromas of roselle to create a unique beer with a lush red color and a delectably hoppy and deliciously fruity aroma. Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer Stone Brewing Berlin: “Bissap, the tea made of the roselle leaves, a species of Hibiscus, has many different names around the world but is especially well known in West Africa. This delicious and intense tea inspired us to brew a Hibiscus Pale Ale.”    Giampaolo Sangiorgi, Founder of Birrificio Lambrate adds: “The original idea was to brew a tea-infused IPA with our friends from Stone Brewing. We considered Jasmine, Ceylon, mate and rooibos but this particular blend was inspired by our colleague Aliou and his favorite red Senegalese drink. After speaking with him, we decided to brew a beer with roselle, and added a bit of orange peel and nutmeg.” Quick Facts Name: Lambrate / Stone Scarlet Hibiscus Pale Ale Stats: 6,2% ABV, 35 IBUs, OG: 14.9°P, Ea: 3°P Featured Hops: Cascade, Mandarina Bavaria, Citra Availability: 0,5l Stone UNIQCANs and from draft across Europe     Tasting Notes Appearance: Pink to red Aroma/Taste: Orange hibiscus fruit notes combined with citrus-dominated hop flavor and a hint of red tea Palate: Refreshing sourness, mild bitterness, dry finish Overall: This is a pleasant drink for Valentine’s Day and the start of spring!  (Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer at Stone Brewing Berlin)   #scarlethibiscuspaleale   #lambrate   #birrificiolambrate   #stoneberlin   #stoneuniqcan   #uniqcan   Further information and images in printable format can be found in our drop boxes for photos, pictures and logos, as well as further press material here.     About Birrificio Lambrate From 1996, in the heart of Lambrate, in Milan, we brew non-pasteurized and non-filtered beer.

Press Release   |   November 27, 2018

Stone UNIQCAN-Series winter release: LERVIG / Stone Hi, I’m Kveik IPA

Stone UNIQCAN-Series winter release: LERVIG / Stone Hi, I’m Kveik IPA … a Norwegian farmhouse yeast in an IPA might be the hottest thing in yeast and fermentation this Berlin winter! Berlin, November 27 2018 – The LERVIG / Stone Hi I’m Kveik! IPA is Stone Brewing - Berlins sixth and final Stone UNIQCAN release for 2018, brewed with LERVIG from Stavanger, Norway. The special element to this beer? A specifically Norwegian twist in the form of “Kveik.” The word Kveik is a dialect-specific Norwegian word for yeast and can be found in thousands of different, unpurified varieties. Back in the day, Norwegian farmers used this yeast to brew and ferment beer on their own farms. As the years went on, each location slowly developed their own strain of this yeast - each as unique and delicious as the world of craft beer itself. For this beer we chose the “Hornindal Kveik” mix of yeast, which brings out light hints of tangerine, pineapple and other exotic fruit flavors in beer.  In contrast to other yeasts, this mixture of yeast strains can ferment at temperatures up to 40 °C (a bit warmer than other beers) while still producing a nice, clean ale without any off-flavors. The flavors from the Kveik are balanced by a burst of fruity hop flavors creating distinctly delicious ale. It’s the perfect finale to a great year of exotic beers and demanding challenges for our brewers. Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer Stone Brewing Berlin: “It’s been an honor for us to brew this very special beer with Mike. All the beers of LERVIG that I have tried so far have had an incredible distinct taste. It’s been a lot of fun to brew this beer, especially with all the trials we did here at Stone Brewing - Berlin to get to know our little friend Kveik a bit better.“   “I have been a fan of Stone Brewing from the early days, hopefully one day Stone will come brew with us on our site” adds Mike Murphy, Master Brewer at LERVIG. “Since we're representing the Norwegian brewing side we decided to make a modern day IPA with traditional Norwegian yeast, we hope the character of the Kveik complements the fruity hops.“   Quick Facts Name: LERVIG / Stone Hi, I’m Kveik!

Stone UNIQCAN-Series winter release:
LERVIG / Stone Hi, I’m Kveik IPA


… a Norwegian farmhouse yeast in an IPA might be the hottest thing in yeast and fermentation this Berlin winter!

Berlin, November 27 2018 – The LERVIG / Stone Hi I’m Kveik! IPA is Stone Brewing - Berlins sixth and final Stone UNIQCAN release for 2018, brewed with LERVIG from Stavanger, Norway. The special element to this beer? A specifically Norwegian twist in the form of “Kveik.” The word Kveik is a dialect-specific Norwegian word for yeast and can be found in thousands of different, unpurified varieties. Back in the day, Norwegian farmers used this yeast to brew and ferment beer on their own farms. As the years went on, each location slowly developed their own strain of this yeast - each as unique and delicious as the world of craft beer itself.


For this beer we chose the “Hornindal Kveik” mix of yeast, which brings out light hints of tangerine, pineapple and other exotic fruit flavors in beer.  In contrast to other yeasts, this mixture of yeast strains can ferment at temperatures up to 40 °C (a bit warmer than other beers) while still producing a nice, clean ale without any off-flavors. The flavors from the Kveik are balanced by a burst of fruity hop flavors creating distinctly delicious ale. It’s the perfect finale to a great year of exotic beers and demanding challenges for our brewers.


Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer Stone Brewing Berlin: “It’s been an honor for us to brew this very special beer with Mike. All the beers of LERVIG that I have tried so far have had an incredible distinct taste. It’s been a lot of fun to brew this beer, especially with all the trials we did here at Stone Brewing - Berlin to get to know our little friend Kveik a bit better.“

 

“I have been a fan of Stone Brewing from the early days, hopefully one day Stone will come brew with us on our site” adds Mike Murphy, Master Brewer at LERVIG. “Since we're representing the Norwegian brewing side we decided to make a modern day IPA with traditional Norwegian yeast, we hope the character of the Kveik complements the fruity hops.“

The Fellowship of the Beer: IMBC / Buxton Brewery / Magic Rock / North Brewing Co. / Stone Fellow-Sip IPA

  The Fellowship of the Beer:  IMBC / Buxton Brewery / Magic Rock / North Brewing Co. / Stone Fellow-Sip IPA   The fourth Stone UNIQCAN release comes as a collaboration with three of the UK’s most creative brewers and the Indy Man Beer Con   27 September 2018 –  For the fourth release of the Stone UNIQCAN series Stone Brewing has teamed up with some of Britain’s most acclaimed brewers as well as the Independent Manchester Beer Convention (better known as the Indy Man Beer Con or IMBC). The result is one pretty incredible IPA: The IMBC / Buxton Brewery / Magic Rock / North Brewing Co. / Stone Fellow-Sip IPA, which blends four distinct and groundbreaking IPA recipes, each of which are characteristic to each of the involved breweries. The title may be a mouth-full, but one thing’s for sure – this beer is perfect for reuniting with old pals or making new ones. The piney-citrus-flavor of the beer is highlighted by hints of cherry and lychee. Its dank hoppy notes are derived from a selection of the best malts and hops found in the breweries’ iconic IPAs: Buxton Axe Edge, Magic Rock Cannonball, North Transmission, and Stone IPA. The combination creates a balanced hop complexity that rounds out this beer.  Greg Koch, co-founder Stone Brewing, commented: “The Fellowship of the Beer. Isn't this what it's all about at the IMBC and beyond? Isn’t that what we stand for as craft brewers? I'm very happy we have been able to join forces with three of the most outstanding breweries from the UK – and one of the best festivals – to create this amazing IPA. I look forward to joining everyone at the IMBC in Manchester early October – see you all in the Pineapple Room.”  Jonathan Heyes, from Indy Man Beer Con adds: “Collaborating with our friends from the partnering breweries at Stone Brewing’s Berlin brewery was such a privilege. We can’t wait to see the reaction to The IMBC / Buxton Brewery / Magic Rock / North Brewing Co. / Stone Fellow-Sip IPA at Indy Man!” The beer will roll out in 0,5L Stone UNIQCANs and will celebrate its official launch at this years’ IMBC in early October. It will then be made available across Europe.

Stone Brewing Berlin announces the UNIQCAN: New packaged small-batch special release program launches with Stone Tangerine Express IPA

  Stone Brewing Berlin announces the UNIQCAN New packaged small-batch special release program launches with                   Stone Tangerine Express IPA   Berlin, June 20 2018 – Stone Brewing Berlin announces the launch of a special limited release series, packaged in 500ml cans. The Stone UNIQCAN is inspired by the success of the „Stone Berlin Pilot Series“ program, a rotating cast of experimental, collaborative and limited edition beers. The name “Uniqcan” blends “unique” – as each release will be a unique beer – and “can” – the very best package today for maintaining a beer’s freshness. It is the perfect moniker for Stone Berlin’s super-limited, revolutionary small batch releases, rolling out of Berlin each month starting in July. These exclusive Stone UNIQCAN beers will be filled in specially designed 0,5l Gargoyle-clad cans fitted with a unique label for each release. The program’s beers will also be available on draft at Stone locations and an exclusive selection of bars and restaurants around Europe. “The flexible packaging format of our new Stone UNIQCAN opens the door to a ton of collaborative opportunities,” explains Marcus Thieme, Vice President & General Manager European Operations Stone Brewing. “We’ll be collaborating with other breweries of course, but I also see a future in collaborations with a variety of artists or musicians – you name it! Already in August we will come up with the first collaboration in a UNIQCAN – brewed together with a brewery from Franconia.” “The ‘Stone Berlin Pilot Series’ earned a lot of loyal fans, as it offered a rotating and exclusive taste of our experimental offerings. So we set out to make our special beers more widely available to you – our fans across Europe,” said Greg Koch, Executive Chairman & co-founder of Stone Brewing. He adds, “It’s just another example of how we’re constantly experimenting and exploring the world of craft beer to bring the best to our fans. Cheers!”     The first beer to kick-off the series is the Stone Berlin-brewed Stone Tangerine Express IPA, which will hit shelves beginning the week of July 1 and will be available exclusively at specialty shops. Stone Tangerine Express IPA was brewed for the first time in the US in early 2017 and skyrocketed to one of the most popular beers in the lineup of year-round offerings from Stone Brewing in the US. The European edition marks the first time the beer is brewed in Berlin. Stone’s brewers used whole tangerine puree to capture the essence of the bright flavors of the fruit with the addition of whole pineapple for a subtle, yet lingering tropical back note. Neither the hops nor the fruit dominate, yet together they create several complex fruit layers, which can only be achieved by brewing with the entire fruit. Eight different hops give this beer its marked dankness overtones and refreshing bitterness. It’s an express ticket to a beach hammock getaway with refreshing drink in hand, complete with punchy tropical fruit character and Stone’s signature bold hop bitterness.   Quick Facts Name: Stone Tangerine Express IPA Stats: 6.7% ABV, 75 IBUs Featured Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Citra, Simcoe, Mandarina Bavaria Availability: 0,5l Stone UNIQCANs and from draft all across Europe Tasting Notes Appearance: Light golden with slight haze. Aroma: Bright, fresh fruit aromas of pineapple, tangerine, and tangelo combine with citrus and tropical aromas from the hops. Taste: An explosion of fresh fruit and bright hops join together to create several complex fruit layers. Taste is both fruity and hoppy leading to a long finish. Palate: Crisp, clean, and refreshingly bitter. There is a pithy quality similar to biting into fresh fruit along with the backend bitterness one would expect from a Stone Brewing IPA. Overall: Working with fruit can be amazing and using good quality fruit is key to achieving that wonderful freshness and avoiding artificial flavorings. The high-end pureed fruit used here blends exceptionally well with the aroma and flavors from the hops creating a multi-layered IPA that also has the dankness and bitterness that superbly rounds out this beer.

Hailing from San Diego, CA, since 1996 Stone Brewing has been known for its unique, big-character beers featuring bold flavors that defy traditional style guidelines and expectations.

Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens Berlin Becomes the City’s Fifth Opera House

Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème transforms the world-class destination restaurant this May   BERLIN (April 11, 2018) – Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Berlin, renowned for its vast lineup of more than 50 craft and artisanal beers, takes center stage in a different form of the arts this spring. The British tenor and Deutsche Oper ensemble member Andrew Dickinson will direct the three-day event taking place May 31st, June 1st and June 2nd. Opera @ Stone: La Bohème presents a modern twist on Puccini’s classic love story, set in current-day Berlin and utilizing the expansive award-winning restaurant’s entire multi-level space. “Last summer I visited Stone Berlin for the first time and fell in love with the space almost immediately,” said Andrew Dickinson on his ambitious project. “By chance, Greg Koch, Stone Brewing co-founder was also there. I asked him if he was open to the idea of transforming their amazing bistro into an opera dinner theater. He was intrigued, said yes and here we are! Thanks to the support of Stone Brewing we have been able to assemble a phenomenal cast of singers and musicians for La Bohème. As an artistic space, Stone Brewing has enormous potential for the Berlin arts community.” Dickinson’s cast is a group of Europe’s best young singers, featuring soprano Micaëla Oeste (Musetta). Italian conductor Elda Laro will lead the Stone Opera Orchestra, to be accompanied by Berlin’s “Strassenchor.” The highly acclaimed Strassenchor was founded by Stefan Schmidt in 2009 to bring an outlet for creativity to those in need. In honor of the adventuresome craft beer and opera pairing, Stone will brew an exclusive draft beer especially for the event. In addition, Stone executive chef Robert Hilges has crafted a decadent three-course menu specifically designed to accompany the production. "We’re proud to take on this exciting and creative project together with Andrew and Stefan,” adds Marcus Thieme, vice president & general manager of Stone Brewing – Berlin. “Music is a part of Stone’s DNA. We view musical taste similar to how we view craft beer preferences: breaking pre-conceived expectations is fun!" Shows begin at 19:00 and are comprised of two, one-hour acts.

A Hoppy Start To Spring: Stone Brewing Releases Stone Go To IPA

  Undeniably fresh addition to Stone Brewing’s year-round IPA lineup: Nine different hop varieties create a hop explosion of an IPA Stone Go To IPA now available in over 20 countries in Europe   Berlin, March 30 2017 – Intensively hopped and bold, big-flavored beers are known to be the passion for Stone Brewing. Taking another step into that obsession, Stone Brewing Berlin is pleased to introduce Stone Go To IPA to over 20 markets in Europe, including UK, the Nordics, France and Spain. Brewed with nothing but barley, hops, water and yeast, Stone Go To IPA is the ultimate refreshing beer and loaded with intense peach, citrus and melon aromas and all the complex hop flavor that Stone IPAs are known for, creating a virtual hop explosion! “To achieve these glorious hop qualities and still maintain a modest ABV, we used a technique called ‘hop bursting’,” said Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer at Stone Berlin. “This approach involves infusion of a massive amount of hops during the final phase of the brewing process to coax out the robust flavors and aromas of the hops. Stone Go To IPA achieves its fruity, citrus notes by dry-hopping with mostly Mosaic and Citra, plus a complimentary addition of Cascade hops.” Stone Go To IPA is 4.7% ABV and is therefore considered a “session” beer. Session beers are defined as ales or lagers below 5% ABV, which allows for greater drinkability within a reasonable stretch of time. The technique of Hop bursting helps to overcome the challenge of making a lower alcohol full-flavored brew that doesn’t taste thin or watery. Using this method creates an intense hop aroma and flavor along with a satisfying bitterness. Stone Go To IPA is brewed with a selection of nine different hops and will be available year-round. IPA enthusiasts and curious craft beer novices alike will be able to satisfy their appetite for the almighty hop with this everyday go-to ale.    Quick Facts Name: Stone Go To IPA Web: www.stonesalesmaterials.com/europe Stats: 4.7% ABV, 65 IBUs Availability: 0,33 l cans and draft Hop Varieties: Magnum, Cascade, Chinook, Sterling, Crystal, Mosaic, Amarillo, Citra , Hallertauer Mittelfrueh Distribution: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, UK and Northern Ireland, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Hungary   Tasting Notes Appearance: Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma: The hop aromatics are mind blowing. Intense peach, citrus and melon flavors dominate the aroma in the best possible way.

Palate: Dry and refreshingly bitter, the finish makes you want to drink more! Overall: This beer employed the hop bursting technique, which in essence is a hopping method where all or most of the bitterness in the beer comes from late hop additions in the brewhouse at the end of boil and in the whirlpool. The result is a beautifully aromatic beer with substantial, but somewhat mellow, bitterness. The hop bursting also enhances the flavor retention of the hops, and combined with the dry hop, creates a very intense and complex hop flavor.   Suggested Pairings  Appetizers: Chips and salsa, South American ceviche, shrimp tacos, baked artichoke Soups and Salads: Cheddar Cheese Stone Ruination Doubble IPA Soup, summer roll with peanut dressing Entrees: Grilled salmon, Homemade Tagliatelle with Lightly Smoked Tomato, jerk chicken Desserts: Carrot cake, kaffir lime yogurt mousse, apple fritters Cheeses: Mild cheddar, Comté, Morbier   For more Information and photos, please check our dropboxes for photos, pictures and logos and our Press Kit as well as  www.stonesalesmaterials.com/europe.     Stone Brewing   Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner in 1996, the groundbreaking San Diego-based Stone Brewing is the 9th largest craft brewer in the United States.

  • Undeniably fresh addition to Stone Brewing’s year-round IPA lineup: Nine different hop varieties create a hop explosion of an IPA
  • Stone Go To IPA now available in over 20 countries in Europe

 

Berlin, March 30 2017 – Intensively hopped and bold, big-flavored beers are known to be the passion for Stone Brewing. Taking another step into that obsession, Stone Brewing Berlin is pleased to introduce Stone Go To IPA to over 20 markets in Europe, including UK, the Nordics, France and Spain.

Brewed with nothing but barley, hops, water and yeast, Stone Go To IPA is the ultimate refreshing beer and loaded with intense peach, citrus and melon aromas and all the complex hop flavor that Stone IPAs are known for, creating a virtual hop explosion!

“To achieve these glorious hop qualities and still maintain a modest ABV, we used a technique called ‘hop bursting’,” said Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer at Stone Berlin. “This approach involves infusion of a massive amount of hops during the final phase of the brewing process to coax out the robust flavors and aromas of the hops. Stone Go To IPA achieves its fruity, citrus notes by dry-hopping with mostly Mosaic and Citra, plus a complimentary addition of Cascade hops.”

Stone Go To IPA is 4.7% ABV and is therefore considered a “session” beer. Session beers are defined as ales or lagers below 5% ABV, which allows for greater drinkability within a reasonable stretch of time. The technique of Hop bursting helps to overcome the challenge of making a lower alcohol full-flavored brew that doesn’t taste thin or watery. Using this method creates an intense hop aroma and flavor along with a satisfying bitterness.

Stone Go To IPA is brewed with a selection of nine different hops and will be available year-round. IPA enthusiasts and curious craft beer novices alike will be able to satisfy their appetite for the almighty hop with this everyday go-to ale.

A Rippin’ Swell of Juicy Hops: Stone Brewing Berlin launches Stone Ripper Pale Ale

[rip·per] Australian Slang: Something especially strong, fine, or good of its kind Berlin, November 2 2017 – It’s no doubt you’ve dreamed of escaping the grey British autumn. Do you find yourself daydreaming about the sun, the beach, and your surfboard? While the weather will persist, beer fans can now grab a fresh Berlin-brewed Stone Ripper Pale Ale – an ode to sunny summer days and – a Rippin’ Swell of Juicy Hops! This fresh and juicy San Diego-style pale ale is inspired by coastal surf culture and combines signature German, West Coast and Australian hops for a Stone Berlin take on a classic style. The awesome golden beer has a light body and a nice blend of citrus and tropical fruit hop flavor. With a bounty of dry-hop flavor and aroma, this beer is Stone Berlin’s current-day interpretation of a hoppy American West Coast style pale ale – with an Australian accent. “We use pale ale malt and a smidgen of caramel malt to give this beer a deep golden color,” said Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer at Stone Berlin. “The beer is hopped with the newest and finest German hop varieties including Hallertauer Blanc, Hüll Melon and Mandarina Bavaria as well as Galaxy hops from Australia and Cascade from the US West Coast. This is our approach to blend German, US West Coast and Australian characters into one rippin’ good beer – and ride the wave from the Pacific over to the Atlantic Ocean.” Marcus Thieme, Vice President & General Manager European Operations Stone Brewing adds: “After Stone White Ghost Berliner Weisse, our Stone Ripper Pale Ale is the newest addition to our range of now seven year-round beers brewed in Berlin, plus our seasonal mocha stout, Stone Xocoveza, in the autumn and winter season. We are very proud of the Berlin brew team, who have taken on the challenge of creating their very own San Diego Style Pale Ale with a German-Australian twist. The outcome is awesome: A fresh, crisp, hop-driven and well balanced pale ale.” Stone Ripper Pale Ale is available all year in 0,33 l cans and on draft. Each can is stamped with a packaging date and ‘enjoy by’ date, so that beer fans can best enjoy the beer’s intensity and finely balanced flavor.   Quick Facts Name: Stone Ripper Pale Ale Style: Pale Ale Alc/vol: 5.7% Hop Varieties: Magnum, Hallertauer Blanc, Cascade, Hüll Melon, Mandarina Bavaria and Galaxy Beer page url: < http://www.stonebrewing.eu/node/433921?language=en >     Tasting Notes Appearance: Deep golden with a light tan head.

Press Release   |   September 20, 2017

No Schuss!* Stone Brewing - Berlin launches Stone White Ghost Berliner Weisse

The Berliner Weisse to end the non-traditional “sweet additives” travesty.   Berlin (September 20, 2017) – For decades, the noble Berliner Weisse has been forced to live in wrongful perdition. A complex sour beer, once honored by Napoleon’s troops as the “Champagne of the North,” has in recent generations been badly mistreated and become woefully misunderstood. In just the last 100 years, the authenticity of the style has been unjustly adulterated by artificial flavorings, colorings, sugar and sometimes even schnapps. Choosing instead to be completely and authentically traditional, Stone White Ghost Berliner Weisse is a tart and refreshing Berliner Weisse.  The beer gains its orthodox lightly sour and acidic character from a specially selected Lactobacillus strain sourced from historical Berlin cultures. To ensure a properly Stone - and therefore iconoclastic - Berliner Weisse, the ABV is a healthy 4.7% and the beer is hopped with new German hop varieties. The result is a true Stone beer: Unexpectedly bold and pleasantly refreshing. Unbeknownst to the average Berliner is that the addition of ‘schuss’ flavorings is a fairly recent occurrence in the 600+ year history of the style. In modern times, most consumers have learned to believe that it is required to add sugary syrups with artificial flavorings and colorings to the beer. In a country that prides itself on purity, this is a bit of a bewildering practice. However, craft brewers around the world, including now in Berlin, are opting for the true tradition of complex and flavorful Berliner Weisse that would be ruined by pouring in such neon colored additions. “What better way to celebrate the dynamic beer culture of Berlin and the culmination of Stone’s first year in the city than with a traditionally-brewed Berliner Weisse? It’s especially fitting now, at a time of renewed interest in the authentic Berliner Weissen style,” said Greg Koch, Executive Chairman & co-founder, Stone Brewing. “I mean, of course - where else? It’s exciting that the craft beer movement has given this unique style back to this great city. With Berliner Weisse styles from Brewbaker, BRLO, Lemke, Schneeeule, and Stone, we can enjoy a variety of this iconic symbol of Berlin once more.”   Thomas Tyrell, Master Brewer at Stone Berlin adds: “At Stone Brewing, we’ve been inspired by many things in our first year in Berlin, but nothing has been more inspiring than the city itself and its rich brewing tradition. Stone White Ghost Berliner Weisse is brewed with a Lactobacillicus strain, which was chosen from a selection of decades-old Berlin based strains to ensure the perfect balance of flavors that are authentic to the original style. We’ve rounded out the tartness with German Hüll Melon and Calista hops, bringing a balanced and fresh finish to this bright and crisp beer.” Stone White Ghost Berliner Weisse is now available in 0,33 l cans and from draft. Each can is stamped with a packaging date and ‘enjoy by’ date, so that beer fans can best know when to enjoy the beer’s intensity and finely balanced flavour.     *a shot of syrup or schnapps added to a Berliner Weisse by those who have the audacity to change this classic style     For more Information and photos, please check our dropboxes for photos, pictures and logos and our Press Kit.   Quick Facts Style: Berliner Weisse Alc/vol: 4.7% Hop Varieties: Callista, Hüll Melon Beer page url: http://www.stonebrewing.eu/beer/stone-brewing-year-round-releases/stone-white-ghost-berliner-weisse   Tasting Notes Appearance: Pours cloudy golden with a white head.
