Stone Brewing Berlin (Part 1)
After enjoying Oktoberfest we took a train up north to Berlin! Aside from all of the history Berlin has to offer is a new American influence from San Diego.. STONE BREWING!
Propped up in an old gasworks building, primarily used in the 1940′s, Stone Brewing has breathed new life into the surrounding area. Boasting massive interior seating, patrons find handcrafted wooden tables between saplings and fallen trees.
Exterior seating is also quite massive!

This is the Stone culture, I explained, these are delicious, bright, hoppy beers, and I wouldn’t be trying the best of Stone Berlin if I were to drink anything else.
The brews were brilliant, especially the two Berlin exclusive IPAs - I did diverge from my IPA quest to have a Berlin-brewed Xocoveza.. which I have to say was identical to the San Diegan counterpart.

And with that, Stone Brewing Company of Escondido, Calif. has announced plans to open a production brewery and…
