From the label“A LIQUID POEM TO THE GLORY OF THE HOP! Throughout our history, we've built a (fairly deserved) reputation for being obsessed with massively hoppy IPAs. And the groundbreaking creation you have before you is largely responsible for that legacy. Did you know that Stone Ruination IPA was the first year-round, brewed-and-bottled West Coast Double IPA on the planet? True story. Yet we still look back fondly on the impression it left on the palates of many – the quintessential representation of a West Coast Double IPA.”

About this beer
This is the 24th of 40 labels we have from Stone Brewing. It is one of 182 double / imperial ipa labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries west-coast on the front.
A winged demon figure with prominent horns dominates the upper-right half of the label, rendered in black line-art against a tan field, with outstretched bat wings and a muscular, crouching posture. The creature sits above a black banner containing the beer name in bright green sans-serif capitals. The left side carries a narrow column of regulatory text and the brewery's origin story in justified body type, with a barcode and recycling symbol at the bottom of the spine. The composition balances the large illustrative emblem on the right with dense typography on the left, creating a split-field layout across a matte tan background.
