Stone 17th Anniversary coming in August

Anyone see it in Northern NJ the last few days?

 

Don't know where you are in Jersey, but it's available on the shelf in Bridgewater - Elliott Beverages.

 

Stew Leonards in Paramus got 14 cases.
Total Wine in River Edge got like 10 cases. Still have it in stock.
Heights Beer and Wine Emporium in Hasbrouck Heights has like twenty cases and a ton left.

 

No where near as good as Enjoy By

 

Eh- it's a completely different beer. I've been getting it for about a month now, and it really seems to be coming into its own right now. The intense noble hop character is starting to take over while the fruity IPA qualities are receding into the background, becoming a much more focused beer. At first I wanted another Imperial Hallertau out of this one, and with age it's starting to lean in that direction, but maybe even better. It's still unique (whereas Enjoy By is not really, though awesome in its own right), and I'm going to keep getting it until it's gone.

Great job on this one, Stone.

 

I had it last weekend. I'm still not quite sure what I thought of it. I might try another one.

 

I'm really enjoying one right now. I don't know if you've had the Sam Adams Imperial Hallertau back then, but it really is bringing that beer to mind these days.

(btw- is your avatar Charles Napier? Cool dude if it is)

 

No it's John Kreese Cobra Kai dojo asshole from Karate Kid. Oh, and somehow I never had SA Imperial Hallertau.

Never knew Charles Napier was that actor but I love that guy.

 

Well, I'd say that it just might be worth another shot whether or not you've had the SAIH. I think it's a pretty great beer in its own right, and what the heck, it's only like $7 for the bomber.

Thanks for explaining your avatar to me- I see it now, though the guy really does look like Napier.

 

First 17th last pm. Loved it.

I love an Enjoy By but this was a much less in your face brew.

Well done Stone.

 

I like it, but it just wasn't worthy of the phone calls to see where it was going to be so I wouldn't miss out on another one of these damn limited release brews.
