Held each year, Stone Brew Day pays homage to a brewing tradition that dates back to 2008, when Stone & Wood’s founder, Brad Rogers, brought volcanic stones home from Fiji and began what has now become a winter ritual. On the day, the stone brewing tradition is honoured by heating stones over a woodfire before lowering them into the tank – an ancient process that helps create the brewery’s limited-release woodfired porter, Stone Beer.
Invited guests had the opportunity to learn, and speak with Brewery Manager Pat Keeble about the story behind the Stone Beer, which will officially be unveiled at the Festival of the Stone on Saturday, June 14 – Stone & Wood’s annual celebration of community, beer and music, all while raising funds for Byron’s Fletcher Street Cottage.
