The new year is ON and American craft brewers are celebrating 2025 with a big roster of new beers that you’ll want to chase down.
Black As Sin (Escondido, CA) – Stone Brewing has returned a beloved classic that dates back 24 years and pours black as sin. Complex and indulgent, Stone Imperial Stout is an enormous 10.5% ABV winter seasonal with dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee notes and a full-bodied mouthfeel.
“I’ve been brewing at Stone for more than 20 years and Stone Imperial Stout is, hands-down, one of our greatest beers,” said Jeremy Moynier, Sr. Manager of Brewing & Innovation. “It’s such a perfect balance of flavors. I love it super fresh but it also ages really well too.”
Get Down (Bend, OR) – 10 Barrel Brewing has an uber-interesting Hopburst year-round that began as a specialty brew with their friends out east at Rome Snowboards.

A fan-favorite that was inspired by the Double IPAs found in Vermont, 10 Barrel All Ways Down is a massive 9% ABV India Pale Ale with bright citrus, cannabis and pine notes and intense sweet pineapple and mango aromatics.
Look for All Ways Down now anywhere 10 Barrel beers are sold, aa well as in the new HopBurst Variety Pack featuring all four IPAs—Juicy Drama, Apocalypse, All Ways Down, and Cloud Mentality.
Mythic Brewing (Seattle, WA) – Widmer Brothers has a beloved year round IPA that was inspired by this ancient myth…
“Legend says on Mt. Olympus, the Gods grew giant hops larger than mortal men that tasted so wonderful, only the Gods were allowed to enjoy them. When Atlas learned the Gods were keeping their beloved hops a secret from mankind, he knew something had to be done. One night, as the Gods slumbered, Atlas carried the largest hop down to Earth so everyone could know the taste of heaven. Enraged by his defiance, the Gods banished Atlas to carry the weight of this world for all eternity”
A homage to Atlas’ burden, Widmer Brother Deadlift Imperial IPA is an 8.6% ABV India Pale Ale which was brewed with an almost mythological menu of Alchemy, Cascade, Nelson Sauvin, Willamette hops that are tethered to solid Pacific Northwest malt backbone.
