Stone Vertical Epic '04

[Mookow]

I have in my possession two bottles of this. Supposably it doesnt mature for another 10 years. Would opening one of them tonight be a total waste? Or would it be a good hint as to what it is supposed to taste like?

I'm curious... since IIRC you live real close to the brewery, can you get any other brews than these (which I currently have in my inventory):
-Arrogant Bastard
-Double Bastard
-Smoked Porter
-Imperial Russian Stout
-Vertical Epic '04
-Ruination IPA
-IPA
-8th Ann. Ale
-Old Guardian '04

ill look into it. i noticed you didnt list just the regular pale ale though, or levitation ale. ill assume though since you got the 8th ann. thats why you dont have just the pale ale.

No, I dont have the regular pale or levitation ale at the moment...

I wonder what the regulations are for shipping beer through the mail 😉

I'd pay good money for arrogant bastard scented mail.

Well, I've opened one of the two. Not horrible... but not up to Stone's usual standards. Of course, opening it ten years ahead of time may have something to do with that.

Not sure if it is worth the $5 if you plan on opening it now.
