We haven’t quite reached the holiday season, but it will be here before we know it and Stone Brewing is ready to celebrate with its 12 Days of IPA mix pack. The package includes one each of twelve different Stone IPA versions, with a mixture of classics and soon- to- be- classics, making their debut.
Hops and More Hops
Stone Brewing is one of the founding fathers of highly- hopped IPA. Rather than offer a mix pack of a few styles with traditional holiday brews among them, Stone decided to go all- in with the hops. To assist in this endeavor, it sought advice from its team. Stone Brewing CEO Maria Stipp explains:
“This isn’t just a box of beers dressed up for the holidays,” explains Stipp. “We asked our team members – our biggest Stone super fans – what they’d be most proud to bring to their holiday gatherings. It wasn’t easy to execute, but who can deny this set of beers!? It’s an incredible lineup that reflects the entire journey of Stone’s IPA obsession.”
What’s in the Pack?
Here are some of the highlights in this year’s 12 Days of IPA:
- Stone Delicious Citrus IPA (7.7% abv) – This is a citrus variant on Stone’s ever popular Delicious IPA.
- Stone Delicious Double IPA (9.4% abv) – Like the above, this is a variant on Stone Delicious IPA. It’s an amped up version that fans of the original will fall in love with at first sip.
- Stone Ruination IPA (8.2% abv) – No Stone IPA package would be complete without this legendary brew! This Stone classic was named for its truly “ruinous” effect on the palate. It’s loaded with Columbus and Centennial hops and was the first West Coast Style Double IPA on the planet to make its way into bottles. It established a trend that continues to this day, with craft breweries from coast to coast attempting to mimic its intensity.
- Stone 26th Anniversary Triple IPA (9.7% abv) – In celebration of another trip around the sun, Stone Brewing released this anniversary brew. It’s Stone’s latest example of an Imperial West Coast Style IPA and it’s loaded with pine, citrus and resinous dankness.
- Stone Peak Conditions Hazy Double IPA (8.1% abv) – If you love the east coast and west coast IPA renditions, then you will love this beer. It is brewed with passion fruit, orange, guava and, of course, lots of hops. The result is a beer that combines the goodness of West Coast hops with East Coast haze. It’s a marriage that is bound to have a lasting impact on your overall happiness.
- Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA (10.1% abv) – This beer achieves what few IPAs have been able to accomplish. It matches up the flavors of green tea and beer, in harmonious equity.
Besides the six beers above, 12 Days of IPA also consists of a single bottle each of:
- Stone IPA (6.9% abv)
- Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA (7.5% abv)
- Stone Hazy IPA (6.7% abv)
- Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA (6.7% abv)
- Stone Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA (8.5% abv)
- Stone Delicious IPA (7.7% abv)
Start Your Holiday Celebration Today!
Stone 12 Days of IPA is currently available nationwide, so there is no need to wait for the holiday season to officially arrive. It’s one of the few 12 pack samplers to contain exactly one bottle of 12 different beers, and that makes it ideal for people who like to sample as many different beers as possible.

That is fantastic! I have to get this for my husband. He’s going to flip.
Oh my husband would love this! He enjoys IPA beers and so does his dad so they could try a bunch of new ones together.
Such a fun idea and perfect for the season too! Love this! Like you said, what a great gift for someone who likes to sample different flavours ♡
That is probably the best feature of this sample pack. Most 12 pack samplers contain, say, 3 bottles each of 4 styles. This is one of the very few that gives you 12 different styles, which is great for sampling.
Great idea to showcase their IPA mix for the holidays. And also, it’s a great hostess gift!
Citrus tastes good in most any beverage! I saw samplers at the Octoberfest event we went to.
Well I agree it will be here before we know it. That seem a really good pack and nice to celebrate early. Thank you for sharing!
Oohhh…I had not known of this release yet from Stone. I see they have been busy. Thanks for sharing about it.
What a fun idea! Such a cool advent hahaha
Sounds like a fun way to sample some brews. Very creative and makes it exciting.
