Stone's latest hyped announcement

[cry me]

this is enough to get me to stop buying stone beers

 

[SeaWatchman]

This basically sums up the brewing industry today:

 

[SeaWatchman]

Holy ****, **** them and their beer.

 

[ficklenicholas]

Wow.

Already a grand raised.

Beer needs are so ******* lame.

 

[jmgrub]

BEERCOTT!

 

[chaggy5]

Don't people already give them enough money buying their beers? If you dont have they money, dont open a new brewery? Its not that hard of a concept. 0 Stone in my future, ever again

 

[jmgrub]

Wow.

Already a grand raised.

Beer needs are so ******* lame.

Kickstarter should seize all donated funds and give them to charity...because that wouldn't be unlawful or anything.

 

[litheum94]

I can't believe they won't even foot the bill for shipping a ******* shirt.....so much wrong with this.

 

[Etan]

Ugh.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Someone needs to get the Stone guys on here for an AMA

 

[evilc]

Come to San Diego and we'll put you up in CEO Greg Koch's downtown loft for the weekend. Then Team Stone will take you out. And then "Dr." Bill Sysak and our executive chef will prepare a private rare beer dinner and master pairing. PLUS you'll also get one bottle of every collaboration that we produce as well as a T-shirt, glass and signed thank-you from our co-founders, Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. Travel not included.


So - you get ONE ******* BOTTLE of each for 30k? Travel not included?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAAHHAHAHA

For 30k you should at least get to **** Greg's wife.























if she's hot

 

[jmgrub]

Holy ****, **** them and their beer.

Well, these infographics must have been very expensive to produce, so I understand the shortfall for the actual construction.

 

[DmouthCaliBrewz]

And the first special beer is a collab with BrewDog? SIGN ME UP!

I am hard pressed to think of any beer, let alone any liquid, that I would want to drink less than a Brewdog/Stone Collab.

Srs.

 

[jmarce]

$41 for a t-shirt

$50 for a 1.5L bottle saison du buff or brewdog collab garbage that you have to pick up at the brewery

these may be the most ill-conceived rewards ever, not only are they offensively expensive but you have to travel to Europe or California to actually get most of them.

 

[tinypyramids1]

yeah, done with stone. **** that.

Having visited the Liberty Station restaurant, that company appears to be dripping with money. Controlling Distro for themselves & now Russian River in SoCal. Huge restaurants with Swag with about 300% markup, etc etc.

This is ballsy I suppose.

Well, either dripping with money or flattened with debt.

Good point.

Wait, this kind of sets a precedent for being a complete ************!

Is it too late for me to do a kickstarter for my wedding?

$25 gets two song requests from the DJ. (No Free Bird)
$50 gets you a second helping of Prime Rib.
$100 gets you a dance with the bride.
$500 gets you a ******* from the from the groom.
$1000 allows you to house sit/dog sit and drink one beer a day from my cellar during our honeymoon. (No Loons)(Molly is a tricky pup, don't make too much eye contact)
$10k is the Voyeur Package. A rollaway cot in out hotel room on the big night. Video is encouraged but the happy couple gets the final edit.

Thanks guys. I know I can count on you to get this thing paid off.

 

[jmgrub]

Their releasing a session arrogant bastard called humble bastard

This was somewhat close. As it turns out, they are doing a beer to commemorate the IndieGoGo campaign called "Arrogant Bastard of Humble Means."

I'll do the $1,000.

Your house may not be the same when you get back though.

What do your sister-in-laws look like?

 

[ficklenicholas]

I'll do the $1,000.

No worries. If **** gets really bad take the beer out and set it on fire. Insurance.

 

[ficklenicholas]

Is travel cost covered?

Greyhound tokens.

 

[jmgrub]

Potential names for collab beers:

Free Money, No Problems
Interest Free IPA
Joke's on Yuzu Porter

 

[evilc]

Don't they have to establish basis here? So if I get one $12 T-Shirt for my $30k, Stone has to mark the rest as profit and be taxed on it. You can't just get "free money".

I am sure Greg will say his loft is worth $30k/night though with $1 profit.

 

[ficklenicholas]

What do your sister-in-laws look like?

Nice, both taken though. My sister is available though and she's morally loose.

How about literally?

Why is everyone so outraged? Don't contribute, problem solved.
