Anyone else here a fan of Stone Brewing Co.?

Non-dark beer drinkers need not apply.

Love this stuff! And yes it will fvck you up...real good!

Alabama has a crazy law where stores cannot sell beer with an ABV of over 6% or in containers larger than 16oz. This takes away a large majority of the better brewed beers.

 

[EvilYoda]

Plenty of people here like their products.

As a San Diegan, I am a fan by default.

Eh, I'm really not a huge fan to be honest. That's not to say I don't care for it at all, I'll definitely drink their IRS, and I liked the XII quite a bit. The reps they sent to State College were always cool guys to hang out with, too.

No forties? Isn't that a hate crime?

Their "World Bistro and Gardens" is quite an awesome venue. Too bad the beers don't match the awesomeness of the architecture. 11th anniversary was a decent beer...I was a fan of Ruination until it suffered a drastic decline in quality in the last year. It's okay - my tastes have graduated to Russian River Pliny the Elder/Younger.

I have Arrogant Bastard glass and t-shirt.

I love Arrogant Bastard and Double Bastard. The UC Irvine pub used to serve it on tap! It was heaven! Stone Brewing Co also used to sponsor a lot of the UC Irvine events so there typically would be free beer there!

I live in GA and have wanted to try The plinys for a LONG time. I've tried over 80 IPAs and am on a quest to find the best double IPA. The plinys are like the holy grail for a Geogian who would have to go to CA to actually get them.

If you like their stuff, you should really try their Cali-Belgique IPA. Hard to find, but worth trying.

You'll love the Cali-Belgique IPA then. It's their IPA with Belgian yeast.

I think they are good but definitely overrated. In my opinion Northern California and Oregon make the best beers in the world, aside from those select few monks in Belgium. I drank a bunch of Mad River in Arcata and they are one of my favorite breweries.

 

[CRXican]

I've had it but I'm not worthy. Over hopped beer is overrated.

 

[pyonir]

Yep, i like them.

That was very good. I still love the Ruination the most, but it's been oddly lacking lately. It seems whenever I get it, it simply doesn't have that AWESOME piney-hops flavor, almost as if it's not as fresh. I've had to move on to Lagunitas IPA and 90 Minute when I'm feeling rich.
