Stone Brewing’s Greg Koch captures Wil Wheaton’s hop addiction on camera (teases w00tstout)

May 20, 2013Keith Gribbins

We mentioned back in March that Stone Brewing Co. was taking craft beer where it has never gone before, thanks to a collaboration with Star Trek: The Next Generation alum Wil Wheaton. The Stone Blog reported that Wheaton, you may remember him as Wesley Crusher, is an avid homebrewer, friend of Stone co-founder Greg Koch and supporter of all things Stone. Along with fellow friend Drew Curtis, Fark.com founder, the collaboration took place on April 3 on a to-be-announced beer. Well that beer has been announced to be coming out in July, called w00tstout.

In early April, Stone Brewing Co. Co-Founder and CEO Greg Koch had super geek buddies Curtis and Wheaton come down to the brewery in order to brew this super-secret next generation beer. What was totally unexpected (or maybe expected?) is that we would discover a dark secret about Mr. Wheaton. We’ll let the video above show you Wheaton’s secret shame and also Koch’s magnificent, Jesus-like beard.
