Stone Brewing Unveils New Year-Round Beer: Stone Pilsner

Stone Brewing in Escondido, California is excited to announce the launch of its latest year-round offering, Stone Pilsner, now readily available across Southern California. Crafted as a crisp and approachable brew, boasting a 4.7% ABV, this pilsner is designed to cater to the diverse palates of beer aficionados.

With delightful hints of orange, pear, and watermelon, Stone Pilsner delivers a refreshing experience with each sip. Its light-bodied nature, coupled with a subtle breadiness and a sweet corn chip finish, promises a truly satisfying drinking experience.

Originally conceived at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station by Head Brewer Kris Ketcham, the idea for a year-round pilsner emerged to fulfill the desires of patrons seeking a laid-back and lighter option. Such was the appeal that demand quickly extended beyond the Bistro, prompting the team to scale up production to meet consumer enthusiasm. This latest addition to Stone's lineup perfectly complements its existing portfolio, offering a quintessential Americana brew ideal for soaking up the Southern California sun.

Originally brought to the U.S. by German immigrants, pilsners here have evolved through the creativity of American brewers and ingredient growers. Stone’s American Pilsner is made with North American-grown ingredients and public varietal hops. Ketcham elaborated, “This beer is clean and crushable, with a light touch of Cashmere and Vista hops for good measure. Both come out of the public breeding program and we thought it fitting for our American Pilsner to be made with all American public hops.” 

As Stone Brewing celebrates its third decade in the industry, renowned for its bold IPAs, decadent stouts, and audacious creations, the introduction of Stone Pilsner signifies a toast to inclusivity, appealing to a wide spectrum of beer enthusiasts.

For those eager to get their hands on Stone Pilsner, six-pack cans and draft options are now available throughout Southern California. Locate your nearest supply using Find.StoneBrewing.com or conveniently order online from select states at Shop.StoneBrewing.com. Cheers to embracing the spirit of community with a refreshing pilsner crafted for all.
