\"Stone<\/a>
Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station’s 2nd anniversary beer, Mocha IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>By day, I work at Stone Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a> Among my many tasks is perpetual perusal of the company\u2019s social media accounts. There is no one sentence I\u2019ve read on our Facebook and Instagram feeds more than, \u201cBring back the DayMan!\u201d This comes courtesy of the many, many<\/em> beer enthusiasts who fell in love with the coffee India pale ale (IPA) of the same name Stone brewed collaboratively with Two Brothers Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a> and award-winning (then) Chicago homebrewers from Aleman Brewing Website<\/a> <\/strong>back in 2012. Despite constant pleas from the public, the beer hasn\u2019t been rebrewed, but the closest thing to it is currently on tap at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens \u2013 Liberty Station<\/strong><\/a>. In celebration of that venue\u2019s two-year anniversary, Liberty Station Brewing Manager Kris Ketcham<\/strong> used DayMan and other beers as inspiration for a \u201cMocha IPA\u201d incorporating coffee, chocolate and milk sugar to give the hoppy concoction the flavor of an altogether different kind of \u201cbrew.\u201d Cascade, Amarillo and Citra hops add interesting citrus notes to a roasty, semisweet beer that\u2019s anything but ordinary and will go over well with Stone fans who\u2019ve been jonesing for its co-inspiration like Starbucks addicts a week into caffeine withdrawals.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019ve been contemplating this beer for a long time. I\u2019m a fan of previous Stone collaboration beers, Aleman\/Two Brothers\/Stone DayMan Coffee IPA and Bodebrown\/Stone Cacau IPA, as well as Stone Stochasticity Project Master of Disguise\u2014a golden imperial stout incorporating coffee and cacao nibs. I decided I wanted to take all these great flavors and put them in one glass in hope of making something that resembled a mocha espresso you get from a local coffee shop. We used lactose in the brew to get a creamy base, golden espresso from San Marcos’ Ryan Bros. Coffee<\/strong><\/a> for the java flavor and a blend of stone-ground chocolate used in Stone w00tstout 2.0 plus some sent to me from my friends at Fort Myers Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a> (that they use to brew their award-winning chocolate stout) to make everything sing together. The result is a beer that hits your nose with chocolate, followed by coffee and nice, hoppy citrus notes. It\u2019s like someone took a coffee stout and an imperial IPA and made a love child. Some say it reminds them of a Mars candy bar on the palate.\u201d \u2014Kris Ketcham, Brewing Manager, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens \u2013 Liberty Station<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
