    Reckon on having a few of these. Damn, who knew it was already May?

    I got a 2009 (maybe '10) for my birthday this year. Looks like I'm getting sloppy sometime in the very near future.

    I bought 6 this year. So good. How long do you think this one could age?

    Bought a case. Had one and it's damn delicious. I'm hosting a 5 year vertical with a few friends tomorrow. Should be fun.

    NYC: Good Beer and Swiggers have it for $7.99/bomber.

    (Swiggers also has Mephistopheles and Samael from Avery for $7.99/12 oz.)

    My second bottle was much better than the first. I've never experienced quality control issues with Stone before, but I'm concerned about the other four 2012 bottles I have. However, when this beer is on, it's on like Donkey Kong.

    For some reason there was a major price bump here in MN this year. Last year it was around $7 a bottle, and this year - BOOM, it's consistently $9.99 everywhere. Looks the distributors decided to make some extra cash this year.

    One of my local shops charged me 9 something too... When I asked if the price was right I was told that "stone is a really good brewery so it was worth it"...

    check out the side of the bottle they reccomend "buying a case a cracking one every 3 months"

    ... but if i made beer id reccomend you by a case as well
