Stone's latest hyped announcement

[Josh2]

When can we expect to see the brahs follow suit and do something similar and go do "business" at the stone brewery abroad?
I feel history could very well repeat itself.

 

[Lutter]

Well, if you spend the 30K, you might get to do this at Greg's house:

He looks like a bankrupted Steve Jobs.

 

[Minnesotaryan]

Wait Greg owns a home? I figured he lived under a pier or something

 

[drgarage1]

When they came to the Twin Cities market, they had an official release party where he gave one of those speeches. ******' barfed.

Did he actually crowdsurf? Really?

 

[liquiddegenerate]

I'd pledge an Andy Jackson to shave his beard...




in his loft of course.

 

[JulianB1]

What's weird about those photos is I heard anecdotally that Greg Koch talked **** about the Bros behind their backs and told everyone about how what *********s they are.

wouldn't touch with this ^

 

[lb304854]

Ah, the early days. Before Greg sat upon his $30,000/night loft of Isendor.

Just don't get pissed off when the beer Ents angrily trample your bastardized kingdom.

Obviously meant Isengard here. Damn I was drunk last night.

[sacrelicio]

Are the kind of people who pay a lot of money for rare beers really part of Stone's target market?

That's so far beyond the pale I don't even know how to react to it. Who was crowdsurfing him? Why? What the hell was he even talking about?

Think it'll be the same as this one:



Edit: and this one from like, 3 years ago.

God that was awkward. And not even a particularly good speech.

They could just do the normal "beer media" thing and come into this thread, pull quotes, and attribute them to our usernames.

I am with you on the panhandling but lay off their beers. If you want to pick on huge breweries churning out mediocre beer look at Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Founders

"well thought out feedback" is what beer nerds on the internet are known for

he just stood on a chair and gave a stupid speech about "fizzy yellow beer."

I forced myself to watch. Really tedious. And feels at least 20 years out of date?

Now don't get me wrong here boys and girls. I am with you on the panhandling but lay off their beers. If you want to pick on huge breweries churning out mediocre beer look at Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Founders

I like almost all of their beers, and consider a few to be benchmarks of their respective styles (IPA, Ruination, SSRA, IRS, Cal-Belgique). But I also wouldn't pile on NB, SN, or Founders for their beer quality.

Try seeing it in person...cringe worthy

I do like that he's nearly unrecognizable now that he has the giant beard. I would try my hardest not to look like that shirt, too.

The best IPAs are fizzy and yellow. Wonder what greg has to say about that?

Heh no kidding, Ephraim is a "fizzy yellow beer".

INCLUDING MANY BEERS MADE BY HIS COMPANY. Maybe you need a new catch-phrase after 18 years? Perhaps?

Well all the micros that are popular with the kids these days are amber colored, and I don't like dark beers.
