Our Favorite Things: Winter
“If winter were a beer, it would be Stones IPA with a good balance of piney notes and citrus/grapefruit. The hops profile is complex and rounded with a lingering bitterness, pairing well with the creamy yolk from the egg, the fat from the sausage, and bitterness of the Stones IPA Mustard. That is why if winter were a beer it would be Stones IPA.”
– Matthew Sayer, The Willcox Restaurant Manager
