OMG My Stone Ruination has disappeared!

[Stevorino]

I live in Georgia and found some Stone Brewery beers in a local shop for the first time this past weekend. All week I have been looking forward to drinking my Stone Ruination TODAY!

I open up the fridge...and it's not there.

WHERE THE HELL IS MY BEER! SWMBO sounds convincing that she didn't drink it. Either it ran away or my dog stole it. This is a horrible day.

 

[zac]

Suspect the dog, the neighbor or the mailman in that order.

All are thieving & can't be trusted.

Hmm, was the master bath toilet seat up, when you got home from work, also?

UH-OH SPAGHETTIOS

look under the lettuce

 

[Yooper]

I'm sorry- I couldn't help myself. Stone is my favorite! I won't let it happen again.

 

[hammer1]

maybe you hid it so no one would find it and you forgot were you were you put it

 

[I-Hop]

What a bummer!!!!
Stone puts out an excellent product. My wife & I toured their facility this past fall during a trip to San Diego. We went back to their beer garden for dinner & beers 3 more times on that trip. They are very homebrewer friendly too.

Ruination IPA is the best of their product line. If I were you, I'd trek out to the local package store where you got the 1st batch and get some more. Next time leave a nanny-cam in the fridge.

bwuahahahah! ouch.


To the OP, I live in Johns Creek (formally unincorporated alpharetta). Off of 120 and Jones Bridge.

This is probably the most likely scenario...I'm going to relook right now...for the 10th time today.

"What happened to my beer?"

"I'm sorry hon... I'm having an affair and my boyfriend got thirsty after having sex with me for 6 hours this afternoon."

"And you let him have MY BEER?!?!?"

I just received in the mail the latest Brew Your Own magazine with Stone Brewing on the cover and was telling SWMBO how confused I am on where it could've gone....

Then she sheepishly says, "Ok....so, I may have drank your beer."

Then she says, "It was really good."

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can file the papers at 9 am Monday. I would.

Sorry to hear that. That's just wrong.

 

[Nurmey]

Buy two next time so you can have one.

Are you kidding me?!?! You have any idea how many people would kill for SWMBO's that could handle the hops if a ruination? I've got to dedicate 1/3 of my brewing to fruity-tooty beers in order to satisfy her. I'd love to have a SWMBO that could dig hops and not just refer to them as "the pot like substance that takes up my freezer space".

I hear ya, but the man bought it for himself after searching high and low. Now, if you want to argue whether he should have bought two, that's a different story.

Under this scenario, however, severe punishment is in order.

 

[Stevorino]

lol, yeah, she claims she's a "hop head" -- I'm not quite convinced though. We'll see-- I only introduced her to Pale Ales/IPA's pretty recently.

I originally bought a variety 6-pack to drink in one night when she was drinking some liquor -- never finished the ruination (saved it for last)....and this is what happened

My wife is sensitive to alcohol but absolutely loves dark beers. Most women love the coors light and other trash but not mine. Now if I can only get her alcohol sensitivity to go away!

Well, from one fellow "hophead" to another, you can't blame her for going after the Ruination. The first time I tried it, I fell madly in love with the guy who did a beerswap with me. It was love at first sip. It's still one of my all-time favorite beers, even though Stone isn't available here.

I guess you just have to brew a clone!

... and she's been wearing boxers for the last two weeks since you found a pair under the bed that weren't yours?

I shall drink the 2007 Old Guardian memory of your loss. How I am lucky to live 60 miles from stone, where even the ghetto liquor stores have ruination in the fridge

 

[neuron555]

He should still thank his stars his SWMBO likes good stuff and doesn't make him stock Bud Lite (shudder) or wine coolers in the fridge. Let's see, my SWMBO just polished off a schwarzbier and a lambic.

 

[Skins_Brew]

If my wife drank my bottle of Ruination I would give her a huge hug and kiss. She hates good beer and mainly sticks to miller lite, mikes hard lemonade or white wine w/ ice. Consider yourself lucky.

 

[944play]

Ruination IPA is the best of their product line.

I respectfully disagree. Ruination doesn't suck, but their regular IPA is just SO much better. I would miss a six pack of Stone IPA like a limb.

 

[GAbrewer]

bwuahahahah! ouch.


To the OP, I live in Johns Creek (formally unincorporated alpharetta). Off of 120 and Jones Bridge.

I work there, at the State Farm offices on John's Creek Parkway. I remember when they became "incorporated". Hope you find your beer, dude! And if you don't, well, just brew more!

P.S. I noticed after reading more of the posts that it seems likely that your wife drank your beer. So again, I suggest you brew more. And since she seems to have developed a taste for good beer, you might consider teaching your wife to brew as well!

 

[darkestdays]

How much does ruination cost where you guys live? It's $19 for a six pack at the local store here, which is pretty expensive in my opinion, but I really want to try it. I might pick some up tomorrow and split it with a friend though as he split his $18 bottle of Rogue imperial stout with me.
