    So I work at a bar that typically tries to carry as much Deschutes as possible: Reserve series, Bond Street, seasonals, the whole shebang. I was perusing their 2015 release calendar and spotted on their Reserve series list "Anything But the Stoic" is listed as their March-May release. I've searched and searched for information. Nothing. Anyone hear anything about this release? Secret knowledge? I've searched using it as a beer name, as well as using it as a declaration - "it will be anything except The Stoic". Help!

    The beer name is just The Stoic. The variant is Not the Stoic.

    Yessir. I am very familiar with their two Stoics. However, is this another Stoic? Is it a completely different style/beer? Not the Stoic was released not too long ago, so I doubt they'll be doing another so close (They have it listed as "Not the Stoic" on their 2014 release calendar). And The Stoic hasn't been released since 2011. So I still need help....

    It's listed as an item on totalwine.com, but I can't get it to show as available. I tried both pickup and ship options in CA (Sacramento), shipping to Oregon, and picking up in Seattle. So, it seems to be a thing, but not in stores yet?

    I really hope this is another beer, as it might just have the best name ever

    In the email newsletter from Deschutes today it said The Stoic - same as the release from a few years back - was going to be released late this spring as the next Reserve series bottle.

    "Anything But the Stoic" would have been neat to see on a bottle.

    The Deschutes website has now changed The Stoic to a mid-May 2015 release!!!

    Both "The Stoic" and "Not The Stoic" have been on tap locally within the last month or so. Not sure of distribution of either though, unfortunately. Have not seen or heard anything about "Anything But the Stoic."
