Stone Brewing is proud to announce the release of a cult fan favorite, Stone Notorious P.O.G. Berliner Weisse. Brewed with passion fruit, orange and guava the beer releases this week for a limited time
Stone Brewing is well represented here in Puerto Rico, thanks to Ballester Hermanos Inc. so hoping that we get to see this latest beet from Stone.
Back in 2016 actor and comedian Jonah Ray collaborated iwth Stone brewer Kris Ketcham at tbhe Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station. As a native of Hawaii Jonah grew up POG Juice which became the cornerstone of their beer. Countless passion fruits, oranges and guavas later, the beer’s successive small-batch rebrews continued to be met by clamoring fans.
“I love my hops in beer, but I also appreciate brewing and enjoying a wide range of beer styles,” said Kris Ketcham, Stone Brewing Senior Manager of Brewing & Innovation who collaborated alongside Jonah Ray on the first brew. “Clearly our fans also appreciate the exploration of other styles, beers that rise to other occasions, and the occasional beer that wows us at the most unexpected time. We originally set out to brew a POG IPA but I’d been exploring with the Berliner Weisse style and knew it would highlight those fruit flavors best. I never would have imagined the following this beer has created, and I’m continually impressed by our fans’ appreciation for a beer that’s balanced, flavorful and intriguing – no matter the style.”
Stone Notorious P.O.G. Berliner Weisse is a sumptuous tart orange citrus and tropicality beer with sip-it-like-its-Sunday ease. With an aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and honey. Passion fruit and guava beneath a bright orange punch.
Stone Notorious P.O.G. Berliner Weisse goes from Stone Brewing Liberty Station rotating list to its national debut beginning this week.
From Hawaii to the Big Apple the little brew will unleash to the big world in 12oz six-pack cans, 19.2oz single-serve cans, 22oz bombers and draft. So, “notorious,” it is. The name was clever, until it was all too fitting.
