Stone Enjoy by 2/15/13

[Ailstock]

Seeing as how the next Stone Enjoy by IPA is going to be in Oregon, I am planning on picking up at least half a case, or a case. Going to try to pickup as much as possible. It is said to be in stores on the 15th of this month.
But I'd like to get it for trade if people are wanting to trade for it.
I'm mostly looking for Heady Topper, anything FFF, and any other great IPA's/IIPA's I can't get in Oregon.

[Johnnyhitch1]

Where did they release this information??

H20, The 12 21 12 just came to NY! well brooklyn and NYC atleast.

Great stuff i have to say. A for sure "hype" item but its another well done IPA from stone.

What is this talk? I happen to live in Oregon. When I hear limited quantity beer my first response is to ask how many cases I can buy.

They also get props for putting what is essentially a born-on date on their beers, something all breweries should be doing. Nothing more disappointing than an old IPA.

This is an interesting campaign, if what I read is correct, they force stores and bars to dump their stocks on 2.15.13 if they have any left, with no refunds.

I can get you FFF. I am in Chicago.
What are you looking to get? Zombie Dust? Alpha King? Robert the Bruce?
Let me know and it yours.
I am looking to get a 6 pack.

 

[theveganbrewer]

Not going to take the OPs trade, but if it doesn't work out, let me know ASAP and I will do a trade for Zombie dust.

I love Enjoy By. NJ has gotten 2 of their 4 first runs which is awesome.

Be careful with this stuff. The 12.21.12 knocked up my girlfriend.

If you're closer to the east coast, this version is coming to Virginia as well, and I'll be up for trading.

I'm in Virginia, so that's good news for me! Unfortunately, it'll most likely have a 1 or 2 bottle limit.

 

[theveganbrewer]

I get angry at 1 bottle limits. For something like this, I'm not too angry, cause I'm not going to age it, but for all the stuff for aging, I like to buy two, one to drink young, and one to age for a year or more.

I usually ask my gf, or someone else to get a bottle for me when there are limits. I can see it as a postive, and negative thing.

Some notes on the beer from the creator:

First, the brew was mash-hopped with Calypso, a beautiful fruity hop that we also used in our Stone 16th Anniversary IPA, after which we kettle-hopped with a very small dose of Super Galena hop extract for bittering. Then, using a technique known in homebrew circles as “hop bursting,” we loaded up very heavily on the flavor hops at the end of the boil and in the whirlpool. Simcoe, Delta, Target and Amarillo were used in the late kettle hop. Motueka, Citra, and Cascade were used for the whirlpool hop. As you can clearly tell, this beer was super hoppy even before we dry-hopped it, but then we went for it…dry-hopping with one pound per barrel EACH of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and Australian Galaxy. Drink extra-super-dank-and-tasty Stone Enjoy By 02.15.13 IPA well before its 35-day shelf life to maximize the pungent glory that this beautiful, intense hop profile provides.

And a note, 2/15/13 will be shipping to 8 markets on Tuesday, use the map at http://www.stonebrewing.com/enjoyby/ to see which stores in your neighborhood will carry it.

Found a bottle of the stuff last night and have it a try. Wow, it is absolutely packed with hops. It's a little overwhelming for me, a DIPA lover. It's fantastic in it's own way, but I was getting nauseous towards the end of the bomber.

Picking up 6 bottles of it tomorrow, va finally got it and I'm stoked. They used the hop bursting method on this beer with flavor hops so I'm betting its like a big hop juice, I will be dreaming about it tonight!

Seriously? They have a display of it.

 

[theveganbrewer]

Wow, there are a lot of people that shop at John's on here, lol. Who knows at John's, I probably asked a customer, they don't have uniforms on or anything, I only know the older guy there.
