You really gotta stay current man, it was either 2 or 3 bottles given to their members already.

Ah, news to me. He long ago blocked me on FB so kinda hard to stay current without his group spam.

The real answer is because they are officially out of anything that resembles a good idea from a marketing or brewing perspective for a few years now?

Another real answer is there is someone high up in the marketing department that still thinks stuff that 80's Metal and Grunge Rock (Dive into a mosh pit of hops) is still hip?

Well, Metallica IS on tour and outselling nearly every other act. Not hip?

I love Metallica. The Eagles also clean up on tour. So does Paw Patrol (a show targeted to toddlers). Doesn't make it hip.

So you're saying there will be no Paw Patrol/Full Pint cross promotions?

I wouldn't go that far.

I have this weird feeling that if FullPint presented Paw Patrol that it would somehow turn into a furry convention. Make it happen Danny, this would amuse me.

It's such a pivot from what they used to be. I mean, that whole "I'm such a badass" schtick is tired too, but this new branding is just a straight up caricature. There's literally nothing appealing about this beer.

Everyone should look at Firestone Walker and Pizza Port. Clean beer, no *******, minimalist branding.

I take exception to the "no *******" part for FW lol. They are the ones that said Prabajava sold out many times, and then they magically "find more" lol

 

[rcubed1]

Real talk: Fortem >>>>> Adversus

I want Fortem back.

Wouldn't be surprised if they got a C&D from Metallica. Seems like Metallica go after anything with 'tallica' in it.

That being said, a couple of great breweries involved with that collab.

I haven't bought any stone beer since the SBE got the boot. But this one actually has me intrigued, between the collab breweries and the adjuncts I'm really curious if this could turn out to be an interesting beer.

 

[blackzag05]

Whenever I see a new Stone beer, I squint my eyes to see which adjuncts they put in it and then go back to planning dinner

While I figure out what adjuncts to put into a beer I might enter into the next Stone AHA comp.

Did you try it? Kind of sounds turible.

Yes, it tastes just like it sounds. I was surprised as hell that they nailed the taste. I couldn't more than 5oz but that's because I'm brainwashed by IPAs. Now I am craving pho. Thanks world
