Spring is ON and American craft brewers are addressing things with exciting new beers you’re gonna want to have around.
The Propagator Celebrates 7 Years Of Beers! (Venice, CA) – Firestone Walker’s The Propagator is celebrating another anniversary. 2023 marks seven years of brewing at The Propagator R&D Brewhouse in Venice, and with that comes a massive double IPA to mark the occasion.
Building on our continuing series of anniversary double IPAs based on the recipe of our original Gen-1, Firestone Gen-7 is a massively hoppy 8.7% ABV Double Cold IPA brewed using the brewery’s house lager yeast and an audacious mix of Citra, Mosaic Cryo, Mosaic Incognito, Strata, CGX, and Rakau hops.
Fermenting with the house lager yeast at a warmer temperature reduces the sulfur levels that can clash with American hop aroma in traditionally fermented lagers. This approach makes for a dry, bitter, clean, and crisp IPA that, in many ways, resembles a West Coast IPA with the extra drinkability associated with an American lager.

Stone Partners With Ukraine Brewer (Escondido, CA) – Stone Brewing is collaborating with MOVA Brewing in Dnipro, Ukraine with a new IPA to generate funds for those affected by the war.
In a statement of solidarity, and in support of Stone’s distribution partners in Kiev, proceeds of the beer will support those affected by the war on Ukraine. The collaboration brew will be available on draft at Stone Brewing locations in the United States and at locations throughout the world.
Amazingly the MOVA Brewery has been spared destruction and its team partnered with Stone brewing on MOVA / Stone Side By Side IPA, a 6% ABV India Pale Ale with a moderate bitterness that never overpowers..
MOVA / Stone Side By Side IPA tap handle art is designed by Ukrainian artist Dartsya Zironka, whose team is now active members of the Ukrainian army. Zironka’s artwork inspired the name. A close look shows soldiers side-by-side with a slightly ghosted appearance – representative of the support offered in spirit from across the world.
