Stone Brewing has teamed up with three major British breweries and the Indy Man Beer Con for the fourth release in its UNIQCAN series.
The beer blends four distinct and groundbreaking IPA recipes, distinctive to the breweries involved: Stone, Buxton, Magic Rock and North Brewing Co.
The piney-citrus flavour of the beer is highlighted by hints of cherry and lychee, says Stone. Its dank, hoppy notes are derived from a selection of the best malts and hops found in the breweries’ iconic IPAs: Buxton Axe Edge, Magic Rock Cannonball, North Transmission, and Stone IPA. The combination creates a balanced hop complexity that rounds out this beer.
Stone Brewing co-founder, Greg Koch, said: “The Fellowship of the Beer. Isn’t this what it’s all about at the IMBC and beyond? Isn’t that what we stand for as craft brewers?
“I’m very happy we have been able to join forces with three of the most outstanding breweries from the UK — and one of the best festivals — to create this amazing IPA. I look forward to joining everyone at the IMBC in Manchester early October — see you all in the Pineapple Room.”
Jonathan Heyes, from Indy Man Beer Con, added: “Collaborating with our friends from the partnering breweries at Stone Brewing’s Berlin brewery was such a privilege. We can’t wait to see the reaction to the IMBC / Buxton Brewery / Magic Rock / North Brewing Co / Stone Fellow-Sip IPA at Indy Man!”
The beer will roll out in half-litre Stone UNIQCANs and will celebrate its official launch at this week’s IMBC (October 4-7). It will then be made available across Europe.
