I've had a few of their beers, including the flagship IPA. Just thought they were decent, nothing special. It was on tap everywhere in SF.Curly J;1167573 wrote:I don't think I've ever tried any of their offerings.

Maybe not the best brewery but do have quite a few good beers, not sure which ones you've had. The Imperial Red was very good, Hop Stoopid is a pretty good DIPA, Lil Sumpin Sumpin, Lil Sumpin Wild and Lil Sumpin Extra were good as well. I also thought their seasonal Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale was very good, I bought a ton of that after I tried it. Their low prices earns some bonus points as well.Commander of Awesome;1167649 wrote:I've had a few of their beers, including the flagship IPA. Just thought they were decent, nothing special.

Interesting, I first had their IPA on tap in San Francisco and thought it was excellent. Maybe that it was free at an event I was attending made it taste better.Commander of Awesome;1167649 wrote:I've had a few of their beers, including the flagship IPA.

Could be the tap that I had it on. But it was very bland. I also had Lil Sumpin Sumpin which just seemed ok. Nothing jumped out to me.queencitybuckeye;1167695 wrote:Interesting, I first had their IPA on tap in San Francisco and thought it was excellent.

Now that I'm hearing praise I want to try them again, perhaps on another tap or out of a bottle. I'm growing skeptical of my first tasting.

Might see some better stuff in the Midwest soon from Lagunitas too, after they open their Chicago brewery.

Just took an "EXTENDED 1 1/2 hr." luch to make the long trek to the closest good beer store!!! HAHAAA
Picked up a sixer of Founder's Red's Rye P.A.
A pint of Stones Cali-Belgique IPA
A Pint of Stones Sublimely Self Righteous
A Pint of Tremens Delirium
and a Sixer of Alltech's Lexington Brewing Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Should be a good weekend.
I was tempted to pick up Stone's Verticle Epic. Says it's brewed with Chile and Cinnamon. Anyone tried that?

Brewed a batch last night while packing for my trip. Used the wort chiller I built for the first time and it was awesome.

Over all good selection. I'm not huge on the Alltech, but it is different. I have had at least one bottle of 11.11.11...I loved it.vdubb96;1168044 wrote:I was tempted to pick up Stone's Verticle Epic. Says it's brewed with Chile and Cinnamon. Anyone tried that?

When/how much is this?Curly J;1166501 wrote:And I might add any of you Cincy area people should check out Jungle Jim's Beer Fest. There are only some many tickets lotted so it won't be overcrowded as others are in this area.
Plus you can talk to servers that know the beers as opposed to volunteers that have never even tried the beers they are serving. And I just might like to meet ya. Well except for Justin. Been there, done that...

Drinking Goose Island Fleur now, liking this a lot. Would like it with more of a sour kick, but still very good. 4 pack will be gone soon so I will have to pick more up.

Always think about it, but never pull the trigger because of price. $17 for a bomber is a bit extreme in my opinion and just can't pull the trigger on that. Really want to try it though, and stone never does wrong. I'm sure its great.vdubb96;1168044 wrote: I was tempted to pick up Stone's Verticle Epic. Says it's brewed with Chile and Cinnamon.

I've got a few of them from last year and I have some surplus from 10.10.10. I'd have to look in my stash to see what all I have left from the other years. I believe I have 06.06.06.on up.

I guess it's turning into a Belgian night for me; finished 3 bottles of Fleur, having Chimay White now, and have some Duvel in the fridge after I finish this.
