On March 19^th Stone Brewing unveiled its latest collaboration with four California artist that have their own way of looking at the Escondido, CA-headquartered craft brewer’s most interesting beers. And those collectable labels are now available nationwide in the brewery’s Stone Guest Artist IPA Mixed Pack.

The four talented artists, both amateur and pro, were found via a call-to-action on Stone’s social channels.

“Artists were asked to re-imagine each of the four beer labels from their own personal perspective,” explained Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Co-Founder and active participant in the design of every Stone beer label….

 “These are four of our most well-known and respected beers, so it was admittedly a bit scary for us. Ultimately, we had to just close our eyes, lean back, let go and believe in the process, which amounted to an artistic ‘trust fall.’ Our risk paid off phenomenally, and what better way to highlight some well-deserved artists than on a medium that’s in the homes of hundreds of thousands of people stretching across the US?”

The Stone IPA Mixed Pack is a year-round offering with beer selection and packaging changing continuously throughout the year. But this special Guest Artist IPA Mixed Pack will only be available through May 2021.
