San Diego’s Stone Brewing Co. is collaborating with BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse on a new, limited-release beer, Temple of Stone IPA, available at all 166 BJ’s across 22 states.
A distinctive IPA that is brewed with malted wheat, experimental hops and elderflower. The use of wheat enhances the complex hop profile. Two experimental hop varieties – Jarrylo and Belma – contribute fruity hop flavors that resemble blackberry and strawberry, while mellow floral notes of elderflower cover the palate. The finish is hop bitter as you would expect from an IPA.
“Temple of Stone IPA represents two original craft brewers combining talent to create a recipe that highlights the industry’s camaraderie,” said Stone Brewmaster Mitch Steele.
The new beer will be available at BJ’s restaurants beginning Monday and will remain on tap through early September, or while supplies last.
