At Stone, the only thing in higher supply than hops is innovation. Tapping in on our brewers’ immense level of creativity, we paired them into individual teams and challenged them to brew up their own special recipes as part of a competition called the Stone Spotlight Series.

Join Co-founders Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Brewmaster Mitch Steele and Research & Small Batch Manager Steve Gonzalez as they judge the entrants and announce the winning, beer, which will be brewed later this year and distributed across the nation to Stone fans who, like us, thirst for envelope-pushing beer.

And the winner is…Stone Spröcketbier Black Rye Kölsch!
