Stone Brewing kicks off 2021 with new releases, big surprises and noteworthy innovation – but first – a classic. Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA answers the pleas of fans with its highly anticipated return 14 years later. This hop-heavy IPA is brewed with dark malt so that it pours black with a surprising punch of bitterness balanced by smooth malty character.
Stone’s persistent troop of mighty fans has effectively revived this 2007 favorite. Why all the hype? Its unmistakable piney and orange-raspberry hop character is perfectly complemented by warm notes of coffee and chocolate. It’s a beer that stops even the most adventurous beer drinkers in their tracks with its unique style and memorable flavor. On the nose – aromas of coffee, black currant and chocolate from the malt, layered with pine, citrus and tropical fruit. As its name implies, it pours black with a light tan head but don’t be deceived! It serves up an IPA-worthy dose of bitterness.
Without a doubt, Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA is the most requested Stone beer of all time. Who better to speak to the beer’s demand than Stone’s Senior Marketing Content Specialist, David Pope, who answers to the company’s 500,000 Instagram followers – the biggest social following in craft beer:

Well, we heard you. It’s awesome to finally reply back with an enthusiastic ‘OK!’”
