At Stone Company Store Pasadena, we equally revere ALL Stone Brewing Co. beers, even the ones we have on draft 365 days a year, as they are all most definitely out-of-the-ordinary. With that said, occasionally we are able to offer full-on extraordinary beers, i.e., ones that are rare, one-off, vintage, barrel-aged, experimental, etc. Generally, we have one of these "specialty" draft beers come online every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, with a "specialty" bottle release every Sunday. Here's a small sample of the extraordinary beers headed our way in the next week.

Note: for all to-go beer (e.g., growlers, bottles, kegs), everyone in your party must be 21+ and in possession of valid, government-issued ID.

The highly coveted, the unbelievably ginormous, the sinfully rich Stone w00tstout 2.0 is back on draft today! For the uninitiated, it’s a 13.5% ABV bourbon-barrel aged imperial stout brewed with chocolate, pecans, and rye. Limit up to 2 liters per customer for growler fills. FYI: as this is a rare and monstrously popular beer, we’re likely to blow through our two kegs very quickly.

Thursday, February 19

Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens Liberty Station - Witty Moron returns to our taps again today. It’s a 2014 Great American Beer Festival GOLD-MEDAL-WINNING(!) style-bender, combining the traditional citrus & coriander spicing and refreshing character of a Belgian-style Witbier with the dark-chocolate aroma & color of a porter or stout.

Friday, February 20

Our first 2015 Stone Collaboration beer, Baird/Ishii/Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA, is finally back on tap today! Brewed with (and beautifully redolent of) sencha tea leaves and tropical hops, it’s the kind of wildly popular beer that is here-and-gone almost immediately. Limit up to 2 liters per customer for growler fills.

Sunday, February 22

Today we release two cases’ worth of Chris Banker/Stone/Insurgente Xocoveza Mocha Stout, one of our 2014 Stone Collaboration brews. Basically a Mexican hot chocolate turned into a beer, it was brewed with cocoa, coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg & Pasilla peppers. Limit one 22oz bottle per customer, but as this is another one of our fan-favorite beers, bottles are likely to sell out before the mid-afternoon.
