Tea Time (Escondido, CA) – Over the years, Stone Brewing has experimented with teas in beer: Green tea, Earl Grey, Chai, Jasmine and more. Two years ago, the brewers set out on a series of trials to nail a perfect recipe for a national release. But it was trip to the famous Tianshan Tea City market in Shanghai, China where Stone finally landed on a white tea variety as the perfect addition for their newest special release.

Stone Soaring Dragon Imperial IPA is an intensely aromatic 8% ABV White Tea India Pale Ale that deftly melds the floral qualities of white peony tea with Citra and Loral hops. “We get the best hops money can buy and we sourced a tea that’s simply spectacular explained Steve Gonzalez, Stone Brewing Senior Manager of Brewing & Innovation – Small Batch. “When you have the best ingredients, you don’t have to do much else. You can taste the quality in this beer.”

Stone Brewing’s newest small batch offering is available in 12oz six-pack cans and 22oz bottles nationwide. It is also available for online delivery in California…so you know what to do.

South Of The Border (Park City, UT -) Wasatch Brewery has a new addition to its seasonal lineup that was inspired by a trip south of the border to Guadalajara, Mexico and a visit to the award-winning Cerveza Loba brewery. Crafted with real guava that lend sweet and tart notes to its subtle hop profile, Wasatch Guava Rosa Ale is a 7.1% ABV Mexican-inspired ale that’s a metaphorical trip to the beach for a nation now sheltering-in-place.
