Stochasticity Project (aka Stone Brewing Co.) Grapefruit Slam IPA Released

WANT!

 

Has anyone in the LA area seen this in stores yet?

 

Stearns got some yesterday

 

Ah, thanks. Was trying to get a sense of where distribution was -- Total Wines and Whole Foods, or just some of the stand-out bottle shops in the area. Seems I've found the answer.

 

Grabbed one yesterday @Mickey's liquor in the sgv. Seen it posted at a few other locations as well. Trending at 1 bottle limit. Hoppy hunting!

 

My local store got a few cases of this today in Kalamazoo, MI. Can't wait to try it out, but not getting too hyped since Enjoy By didn't live up imo.

 

Was it just the most recent you didn't love? Or just don't like Enjoy By as a rule?

 

I had the 2.14.14. It wasn't bad by any means, I was expecting more purely due to hype. The next release we get I will probably try since the prices are reasonable and it would be good to have a comparable to gauge against.

 

Love that Stone just drops these beers on us. Almost no word about this or Matts Burning Rosids before it hit shelves!

 

Label reads, "Brewed and Bottled by KOOCHENVAGNER's Brewing Co."

Seems like they have more in store than just a new beer or series of beers from Stone, off-shoot company perhaps.

 

Fair enough. Try to grab as early in the release cycle as you can -- that's when you'll get the best results for sure.

 

Wow. Stone continues to reach new heights of craft beer marketing overload. They are to be congratulated!?

 

I love me some grapefruit, might have to go across the border for this one.

 

I'm not the first and only one wondering, why is Stone using the pseudonym KOOCHENVAGNER's Brewing Co.? We shred AB, Millers and Coors for their ghost breweries. Should we give Stone a pass, or is it more about track record?

 

Lol, i'll take him back for a Grapefruit Slam

 

Just grabbed 2 bottles today, sounds delicious

 

For those in the LA area (beach cities, mostly), Beverage Warehouse in Marina Del Rey has five cases coming in tomorrow.

 

Has anyone spotted this in New York? Syracuse area in particular....

 

Koochenvagner is not a pseudonym. It's the name of Greg KOCH and Steve WAGNER's company (see what they did there?) that is "doing business as" (or D.B.A. as it is said in the biz), Stone Brewing Co.

So, in essence, "Stone Brewing Co." is a pseudonym.

Do you even TTB an Otaku Ale bro? If ya did, you'd know Koochenvagner Brewing Co.

 

I don't mind the marketing strategies as long as the beer can speak for itself, i.e. Enjoy By and I'm assuming this.
