He’ Brew Origin Pomegranate $6.49Despite the novelty of the name - the beer is made by Shmaltz Brewing Co. - He’ Brew is a serious beer, and the addition of heart-healthy pomegranate juice is all about marketing.
But the beer falls into a rather nebulous category, part American strong ale, part imperial amber ale, part barley wine. It's a tad sweet, but the high strength (8 percent alcohol by volume) gives this ale a dry balance.
The mix of six malts and six hops comes together for a deep-flavored brew that has hints of fruit, but you would never guess pomegranate. The hops add essences of pine and grapefruit. And the 22-ounce bottle gives you plenty to share.
Serve this one before or after dinner with cheese and fruit.
He’ Brew Rejewvenator $6.49Call it the Hebrew Hitter, the Hebrew Hammer or whatever you like. Oi vey this is one helluva an ale. Grab your yarmulke and take the ride. I tried this on a hot steamy night prior to grilling. Such deliciousness.
I am not a big fan of Brown Ales at this time of year. When poured this is one sheine madele! I give big points for appearance here for sure. Not to be let down by smell either but less noticeably major quality when compared.

Deep burgundy color with a yellowish brown head, which shows great retention. Moderate aroma, which hints of chocolate, coffee and dark fruit. Medium bodied, with a slightly creamy texture and a warming, alcoholic feel. Cocoa powder and plum flavors abound, with a moderate cookie-like finish.

Stone Brewing Company
In 2006, Stone relocated from its original brewery in San Marcos to a new, custom-designed facility in Escondido. The new brewery currently has a capacity of 70,000 US beer barrels per year, with capacity expandable up to 250,000 barrels, and also includes an on-site bottling line. The site is also home to a restaurant, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, a 300+ seat restaurant which features interesting architecture, a large outdoor patio and one acre of gardens. The restaurant serves a rotating menu of food -- concentrating on organic, free-range and local ingredients -- and beer from Stone, local San Diego and regional California craft brewers, and other specialty breweries in the United States and abroad. The brewery also houses a "Stone Company Store" where Stone merchandise can be purchased in addition to 2L and 1L growlers which can be filled with Stone's 7 year-round beers and special releases.
On June 2008, Stone Brewing became more eco-friendly when they covered the roof of the brewery with solar panel's, nearly cutting their energy costs in half. The 1,561 roof-mounted solar modules will offset more than 538,000 pounds of carbon emissions over its lifetime, which is equivalent to planting 204 acres of trees.
