Stone's releases Ginger Joe in cans

Stone’s famous Ginger Joe is now available in a convenient 375ml can, joining the popular 500ml bottle on shelves.

Ginger Joe was inspired by ‘Ginger’ Joseph Stone, a moustachioed London greengrocer and illustrious founder of the noble House of Stone. Legend has it that Joe was fanatical about the taste of the ginger root and that his first ‘dip in the ginge’ circa 1740 produced a tipple that literally singed the tips of his ‘tache – an image now immortalised on every bottle and can of the alcoholic ginger brew.

Ginger Joe was first launched in Australia in 2013 in a 500ml, 8% ABV glass format and has seen solid growth over the last five years.

After six months of rigorous testing, Stone’s Ginger Joe now comes in a 375ml can and 6 x 4-pack format that’s perfect to take camping, fishing, golfing, to the park, barbecues and festivals.
