Stone Brewing was co-founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner in 1996 in San Diego, California. Renowned for their bold, hop-forward beers and uncompromising quality, they grew to become one of the largest and most influential craft breweries in the United States.
First released in 2014, this award-winning stout began as a homebrew recipe designed to capture the complexity of authentic Mexican hot chocolate. Brewed with cocoa, coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, it remains a highly anticipated seasonal craft beer icon.
