Lone Tree Brewing Launches Chocolate, Pistachio Stout in Cans
Lone Tree Brewing announced a new canned seasonal, Chocolate and Pistachio Stout, on December 16, 2025. The sessionable offering arrives at about five percent ABV with chocolate, pistachio, vanilla and lactose for a sweet, nut forward profile and will be sold in the brewery taproom and at retailers across Colorado.
On December 16, 2025, Lone Tree Brewing in Lone Tree, Colorado unveiled a seasonal canned release called Chocolate and Pistachio Stout. The brewery described the beer as sessionable at roughly five percent alcohol by volume, packaged in 12 ounce cans, and built around chocolate and pistachio flavor with supporting vanilla and lactose for sweetness and body.
Label tasting notes emphasize roastiness, a nutty chocolate character and high drinkability, positioning this stout as an approachable winter pour rather than an intense imperial style. The beer carries a caramel color that complements the sweeter profile, and the use of lactose indicates a creamy mouthfeel that will appeal to drinkers looking for dessert style flavors without heavy alcohol content.
Availability begins in the Lone Tree taproom and extends to the brewery's Colorado distribution footprint. For local drinkers this means the beer should appear on tap and in can racks at town and neighborhood retailers throughout the state during the seasonal run. The timing of the release in mid December makes Chocolate and Pistachio Stout well suited for holiday gatherings, gift six packs and stocking up for gatherings where a lower alcohol dessert style beer is preferred.
Practical value for homebrewers and small breweries comes from the formulation choices Lone Tree Brewing highlighted. The combination of chocolate notes, actual pistachio character and lactose offers a template for brewing a crowd friendly, sweet stout without pushing ABV. Brewers aiming to replicate the concept can focus on balancing roast malt presence with adjunct sweetness to preserve drinkability.
Community impact is straightforward. Local bars and bottle shops gain another seasonal option for customers seeking novelty and approachable stout flavors this winter. Taproom visitors get early access to cans on site, while Colorado retailers will carry the beer for off premise enjoyment. Check the brewery for current stock and on site pouring hours before visiting.
