The Stone has Arrived!
|

It has completed its journey from Costa Mesa, Ca. to St. Petersburg, Fl. Put a few in the freezer to chill. Looking forward to it.

Ok - I understand the hype now - fantastic brew. I am going to have to make the case last.

Oh - I got a case of the Stone IPA. It is unavailable in Florida, and even though there are a thousand other beers to choose from I fell victim to the forbidden fruit phenomenon and special ordered a case of it. No regrets - it is good. |

It is good, although I would suggest the Ruination IPA next time. Of course, when the Imperial Stout becomes available I would suggest 2 cases! Enjoy your slurge!

I haven't had the regular Stone IPA yet, but Ruination (and 10th Anniversary IPA) are both PHENOMENAL. Smoked Porter is outstanding. Hell, EVERYTHING I've had from them is outstanding....

Yep - when this is gone I'll give another order sincere consideration. The shipping is more $$ than the beer - but I never let a few bucks get in the way of a passion. Beer is proof that God loves us! |

I did a beerswap with Beertopia, and he sent me quite a collection of Stone. I LOVED the Arrogant Bastard, and tonight after dinner we'll be trying the Ruination.
I've been impressed with reading the labels, too. Of course, I'm easily amused and entertained.

Two years ago at the Oregon Homebrew Festival, Stone sent two kegs and the guy who (I think) was the inspiration for Arrogant Bastard (or at least the name). Our layout wasn't good enough. We finally gave him his own table, jockey box, CO2 tank, etc., and told him to have fun. Since he had an Oregon "pull" tag, he was probably from the local distributor and had just auditioned for the part!

The stone labels are great. The one on the back of the barleywine changes every year. Entertaining and clever marketing, all wrapped around great beer.
