In other Stone news, it seems the tasty beer mustard the company sells is just…mustard. Yesterday afternoon the brewery announced the scandal, which they were unaware of until recently. For those who’ve purchased the beer mustard sans beer, Stone’s swapping out the bottles with bombers of Stone Pale Ale or Stone Cali-Belgique IPA. So what happened to the beer?

“We had no idea this was happening, and we immediately removed them from sale as soon as we learned of it last week. We work with Russ Bruhn, a local guy who owns a company called Carlsbad Gourmet to supply the mustards; Russ then contracts with another company to produce them. It is this company that we have found failed to put the beer in the mustard. What they did with the beer, we’re not sure. We sent them full kegs and they sent us back empty kegs…one can only imagine where it might have gone.”
