 Metallica and the imprint Arrogant Consortia of  Stone Brewing bring  Enter Night Pilsner to Europe. The beer produced by Stone Brewing Berlin is now available in over 30 countries in Europe.

The Enter Night Pilsner, a cold-hopped Pilsner (dry-hopped), is a unique expression of the shared values that have helped define Metallica and Stone Brewing: fiercely independent, transcend genres, crumble preconceptions and challenge conventions.  

"The number of ideals and perspectives that Metallica and Stone Brewing share are endless. I am always amazed by how similar our progress paths have been," says Lars Ulrich of Metallica. "We have seen how much our fans have loved Enter Night Pilsner during the US tour, and we are excited to be able to share it with fans even during the European tour." 

" I remember seeing Metallica on the cover of a magazine right after the Black Album was released," recalls Greg Koch, co-founder of Stone Brewing. "On the cover, there was a sentence that has remained with me until today: 'Metallica didn't reach number one, number one came from them.' "I really liked what he wanted to say. Do it your way and never compromise your art. If you're good at what you do, people will come to you. I saw that simple phrase as one of the founding philosophical elements of Stone Brewing."

Marcus Thieme, vice president and general manager of European operations at Stone Brewing, added: "We are incredibly proud to produce the Enter Night Pilsner for European markets here at the Stone Brewing in Berlin. This beer is a high-quality dry-hopped Pilsner and we are excited to say that it will be available as one of our key year-round beers, Enter Night Pilsner is here to stay! " 

Apart from its intense drinkability, craft beer enthusiasts will notice the extraordinary taste and aroma of Enter Night Pilsner that skillfully combines the beauty of a traditional Northern German pilsner with modern aggressive nuances. The cold-hopped Pilsner that comes from defying the genres is a leap forward with a solid bitter taste on the finish.

Stone Brewing Berlin celebrated its official opening in September 2016. Coming from San Diego, California, from 1996 Stone Brewing has become known for its unique beers, with great character, with strong flavors that challenge the guidelines and expectations of the traditional style. It has been called "the best brewery of all time on planet Earth" by the BeerAdvocate magazine twice. Stone Brewing Berlin's craft beers are now distributed throughout Germany and in more than 30 countries in Europe.
