Indulgent Holiday Stouts

Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches Was Inspired by Oaxacan Hot Chocolate

— November 3, 2021 — Lifestyle
One of the newest holiday releases from Stone Brewing is a festive new beer by the name of Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches, which takes the form of an imperial stout inspired by the flavors of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate and Tres Leches treats. Smooth, creamy and indulgent, Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches taps into the fact that craft stouts are becoming must-haves for the holiday season. According to Nielsen data for Craft Stout sales, the category grew 80% during the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season last year.

This imperial stout is brewed with chocolate, coffee, Pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg for a taste of "all that's good about the holidays."

Stone Brewing is also introducing a pack of Stone 12 Days of IPAs, featuring a mix of new recipes and year-round favorites.
