Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA graced our year-round lineup for a few years before its retirement in 2015. Since then, nearly every single day, we receive multiple emails, phone calls and social media comments from diehard fans of this hoppy and dark delicacy, pleading, begging and sometimes demanding us to bring it back. (Seriously, we tried to add them all up and it was easily into the thousands.)
Because you can't keep a great beer permanently retired, it's made a few cameo appearances in our Stone Mixed Packs as well as on draft at our Tap Rooms and Bistros over the years. But now it's back nationwide on its own in all its glory. Original recipe. Original artwork.
"Black IPA"
We're brewers whose substantial mettle and idiomatic approach to brewing allows us to consistently create works of art such as this justifiably self-righteous ale. Its bitterness hits our sweet spot. Its blackness lightens our hearts. Its liquid dichotomy pulls it all together in this sublimely sacrosanct ale. Yes, we damn well know our stuff here at Stone, and it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge how remarkable this heavenly creation of ours is. Thus the name we are compelled to give it --- Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale --- serves as a reminder of just how good we are, in both liquid and verbal form.
