The winter holidays are ON. And American craft brewers are celebrating things with fun new takes on the traditional variety pack concept, that make buying beer in bulk cool again, especially around Christmastime.

Stone 12 Days Of IPA

Stone Brewing is renowned for its IPAs and their advent calendar-themed all-IPA holiday package is the absolute best.

This year’s case of pre-holiday cheer includes 12 individual beers spanning re-brewed fan favorites, current best-sellers and never-before seen beers making their early debut, a 12-day journey of IPAs.

“This isn’t just a box of beers dressed up for the holidays,” explained Maria Stipp, Stone Brewing CEO. “We asked our team members – our biggest Stone super fans – what they’d be most proud to bring to their holiday gatherings. It wasn’t easy to execute, but who can deny this set of beers!? It’s an incredible lineup that reflects the entire journey of Stone’s IPA obsession.”

Highlights include:

• Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA (8.7%), Stone’s most requested archive beer of all time returns!
•  Stone Ruination IPA (8.2%) – The legendary first full-time bottled West Coast Style Double IPA that helped to propel a whole movement of ruinously hoppy beers.
•  Stone Go To IPA (4.7%) and Stone Neverending Haze IPA (4%) – Two low-ABV favorites of years past, making their sub-5% comeback.
• Stone 27^th Anniversary Lemon Shark Double IPA (9.6%) – A beer mighty enough to honor 27 years of Stone’s commitment to hop exploration with a unique cast of New Zealand ingredients.

Alongside other IPA favorites:

• Stone IPA (6.9%)
• Stone Delicious IPA (7.7%)
• Stone Hazy IPA (6.7%)
• Stone Delicious Citrus IPA (7.7%)
• Stone ///Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA (8.5%)
