San Diego based Stone Brewing has announced the release of Stone Features & Benefits, their low-calorie, low-carb, gluten-reduced and low alcohol by volume (ABV) India Pale Ale (IPA).

Stone Brewing releases 95 calorie, 2.9G Carb, gluten-reduced IPA: Stone Features & Benefits IPA

Stone Features & Benefits IPA is as innovative as an IPA product can get, with Stone crafting a full flavored  IPA with characteristics other beers can’t or won’t try for, including:

• 95 Calories
• 2.9G Carbs
• 4% ABV
• Gluten-Reduced

“We knew that making a vibrant, full-bodied IPA that’s this low in calories, carbs and alcohol was going to be a huge challenge,” said Jeremy Moynier, Stone Brewing Senior Manager of Brewing & Innovation.

“Calories and carbs contribute a lot to the things we like in food and beer. But we weren’t willing to just water down an IPA and call it a day.

So, we went through countless iterations, mixing up the process and engaging in fermentation experimentation techniques. Even when we thought we’d landed it, we went back once more, working to make it even better.”

Stone incorporates an enzyme in the brewing process, which separates and eliminates gluten protein chains. Because the beer began with barley (which contains gluten), it could not be labeled as “gluten-free” in the US.

Stone Features & Benefits IPA joins Stone Delicious IPA (the Nation’s top selling gluten-reduced beer) in the brewery’s offerings of gluten-reduced beers.

Both gluten-reduced beers are now available nationwide, and overseas, for those who need to watch their gluten intake or wanting to make changes to their beer drinking habits.
