AleSmith Brewing Company (San Diego, California) has officially announced that it will begin the Limited Release of Dual Exposure, the brewery’s latest collaboration project with Stone Brewing (Escondido, California), in early February 2021.

The embodiment of “both breweries’ esteemed expertise in the double IPA game,” Dual Exposure is an “easy-drinking [Double India Pale Ale] infused with notes of hibiscus, orange and lime peel, all packed into a light-bodied brew brimming with tropical citrus and fruit from huge amounts of Citra, Strata, HBC 592 and Amarillo.” Coming in at 8.2% ABV, Dual Exposure has “citrus [flowing through the body . . ., melding hops with drinkability to yield a supremely covet-worthy beer to please the discerning masses while it lasts.”

“We were really excited to partner with Stone on a new brew for 2021, and Dual Exposure is the perfect way for both breweries to merge our skill sets and shared passion for beer,” says Ryan Crisp, Head Brewer/Director of Brewery Operations at AleSmith. “The creative and collaborative process of developing recipes with their brew team is always an enjoyable experience that we look forward to. I mean, Stone and AleSmith working together – it doesn’t get any better!”

Greg Koch, Stone Brewing Co-Founder, says, “I’ve been enjoying AleSmith beers since before I’ve been drinking Stone beers! This isn’t our first collaboration, but it might be our best. Our combined team of brewers brought their A-game loading up on the hops and refining this double IPA with hibiscus and lime peel for something really memorable. I have so much respect for the AleSmith team, and of course mad respect for our own team at Stone, so I’m super stoked for this dream team collaboration!”

Dual Exposure is available now and will hang around as long as supplies last during the month of February. You can expect to find this Limited Release available in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans at select craft beer-focused establishments located within AleSmith’s distribution territory and in the brewery’s online store. Prost!
