Press Release

ESCONDIDO, CA (June 28, 2023) – Stone Brewing is bringing back an all-time fan favorite, this time bigger than ever. Stone Imperial Notorious P.O.G. is brewed to an imperial 8% with passion fruit, orange and guava giving it a legendary “beermosa” flavor and aroma that Stone fans just can’t get enough of.

In 2016, actor and comedian Jonah Ray joined Stone brewer Kris Ketcham for a collaboration brew at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station. Ray, a native Hawaiian, grew up on the stuff island childhoods were made of – POG Juice. So, the “P,” the “O” and the “G” were mandates for his Stone collaboration beer.

Stone Notorious P.O.G. Berliner Weisse effortlessly rides its effervescence of tart orange citrus and tropical flavors with sip-it-like-its-Sunday ease.  It’s tart, refreshing, citrusy and spectacular.  On the nose: tropical fruits, citrus and honey. Passion fruit and guava flavors are present beneath a bright punch of orange. It’s everything POG lore serves up, but it’s beer, so clearly, it’s better.

“We’ve been experimenting with taking up the ABV on some of our favorite beers,” explained Kris Ketcham, Stone Brewing Senior Manager of Brewing & Innovation. “Stone Notorious P.O.G. stood out because not only does the imperial version taste amazing, you can’t even tell the ABV is higher. We knew our fans would welcome this upgrade to one of their favorites.”

Stone Imperial Notorious P.O.G. is the latest in Stone’s lineup of Fan Favorite Re-Brews – beers voted in by fans for nationwide limited release. It can be found in 12oz six-pack cans, 22oz bottles (Southern California only) and draft. Find it at Find.StoneBrewing.com or order online in select states at Shop.StoneBrewing.com.

Introducing Patio Magic from Stone Brewing Company. A Double IPA that includes Sauvignon Blanc grape skin extract.

Stone has long been committed to experimenting with unique hop varieties and supporting hop growers in their breeding programs. Stone Patio Magic Double IPA exemplifies that spirit. The beer is brewed with the experimental hop HBC 843 from Hop Breeding Company, which has orange, berry, floral and wood notes. Stone’s brewers walk the fields with breeders every harvest and give feedback on experimental varieties. They trial beers using experimental hops on Stone’s pilot brewing systems and send beer and sensory data back to the breeders, growers and vendors. While HBC 843 comes from the private company, HBC, Stone participates with similar exploration and support for public breeding companies through the Hop Research Council and Hop Quality Group.

Stone Brewing Company releases Lemon Shark Double IPA, to celebrate 27 years.

Stone’s brewers travel across the globe seeking new hop varieties and ingredients in their ongoing beer exploration. A series of innovative beers combining Southern Hemisphere and US hops led to this year’s anniversary beer, which combines Riwaka, Magnum, Mosaic and the newly available Peacharine hops. It is also brewed with Phantasm, a dried grape skin extract from New Zealand that transforms over the course of fermentation to add intense tropical and white grape flavors to the beer. The resulting beer has sweet aromas of peach pulp, Bartlett pear, lemon peel, white wine and herbs. The hops mingle beautifully for flavors of ripe peach and pineapple, mango, orange, lemon and passion fruit. Herbal and sweet orange flavors linger alongside a pleasant bitterness.
