Stone Brewing Co. – Collective Distortion IPA, Rick and Robbies Spröcketbier + More

(Escondido,CA) – Stone Brewing Co. has a few new beers on deck for nationwide distribution. Here are descriptions of the beer from Stone, as well as some hella sweet graphics. Cheers.

Kyle Hollingsworth/Keri Kelli/Stone Collective Distortion IPA

Drum roll, please…May we present the bottle art for our latest collaboration, in all its resonant glory. As one of our cherished VIP fans, you are extraordinarily privileged to be the very first outside of Stone to see this–the label hasn’t been published anywhere or even gotten its governmental stamp of approval yet, so you can feel very smug indeed about being treated to this big reveal ahead of the general admission crowd.

This heavy-hitting double IPA was brewed with Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident and epic rock guitarist-turned-publican Keri Kelli of Alice Cooper fame. It’s cranked up to 11 with a truckload of hops, coriander and elderberries, and bottles will officially release nationwide in May. However, you may have the opportunity to impress your tastebuds beginning this week, when this flavorful brew begins a national tour to a select number of lucky cities across the country. The complete tour schedule is coming soon, and we promise you’ll be first to see it.
