San
Diego may be best known for its hop-forward IPAs, but this county has a
long and proud history of stouts, porters and the dark arts. Case in
point, the winners of this year's American Homebrewers
Association-sanctioned Stone Homebrew Competition: Paul Bischeri &
Patrick Martinez and their champion creation, Neapolitan Dynamite. For
our additional collaborator, we enlisted noted Stout Master Derek
Gallanosa from Abnormal Beer Company to bring this ice cream sundae of a
beer to life in full scale. The result is a rich, decadent beer, with
the sweetness of the strawberry and vanilla balanced out by dark
chocolate and coffee. Available in bottle and on draft, but not on a
waffle cone, unfortunately.
