I’m happy to announce that Stone Brewing’s Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA is now available in Puerto Rico.
Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA joins Stone Exalted IPA as the latest beers from Stone Brewing to reach Puerto Rico distributed by Ballester Hermanos Inc.
This beer puts the spotlight on hops; it is packed with all the fruitiness of some of today’s favorite beers, with absolutely no addition of fruit
“Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA was initially brewed with the intent to add fruit,” said Jeremy Moynier, Stone Brewing senior innovation brewing manager. “However, once we brewed it, we couldn’t believe the amazing fruit aroma and flavors we’d coaxed from the hops alone. To heck with the fruit!”
The beer pours deep gold and bright with a thin white head. The juicy aroma has hints of passion fruit, pineapple, tangerine, guava and mango. Layer upon layer give this beer its complexity with tropical flavors as well as strawberry, blueberry and subtle herbal notes. It finishes refreshing but with just the right bitterness.
Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA is available in 22-ounce bottles and draft and it joins Stone’s year-round lineup of beers including Stone IPA, Stone Delicious IPA, Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0, Stone Tangerine Express IPA, Stone Go To IPA and Stone Ripper.
The Beer

This beer clearly shows the amazing fruit aroma and flavors that you can coax from an artful blend of hops. There was NO fruit used in making this beer. All the complexities come from our best friend….the almighty hop. When we tasted the original prototype for this beer, someone commented that it reminded them of a Scorpion Bowl cocktail. The description was perfect and the name stuck!
