Stone - Enjoy By 07.04.14

I can't believe some people were arguing on here haha. If you want to buy it, then do so. If you don't want to buy it, then don't. I've, unfortunately, never had Enjoy By before, living in Windsor, Ontario kinda prevents me from getting a lot of great beers in the states. Hoping I can find some in Michigan, all about timing though. I just have to get really lucky.

 

I just double-checked, and the recipe Vinny gave out a few years ago lists Simcoe, Warrior, Chinook, Centennial, and Columbus. And I know there are two FF blends, but I was under the impression OTWOA uses 7C's. Could easily be wrong about that one, though. Cheers

 

I for one love this beer (and don't like much by Stone anymore). Perfect date for this one to hit!

 

420 was great on draft might pick up a bottle of this one though just for kicks. ruin ten is where it's at though

 

Did Stone give the hop bill for past releases? My main complaint with the Enjoy By is always the oniony taste, but I don't see anything on the hop bill for this one screams onion to me. Also, to agree with whoever said it above, the "bottled on" date is definitely printed on the neck of the bottle, along with the entire website Stone has dedicated to tracking when the beer is being bottled.

 

I like em . . . My only complaint is that my local shop charges 9.99 !

 

@TonyJ815 and @beerindaglass distro to florida but not in pensacola, right? lol

 

Glad I'm not the only one that gets onions up the wazoo on the February release. I must just be sensitive to some of their hop selections, because Go-To also gave me distinct onion notes. Didn't get around to the 4.20.14, but interested to give this one a run to see if it's still oniony (for me).

 

Awesome news, one of the best!

 

This beers release really brings out some odd comments by people. This website is about the advocacy of beer and in my opinion sometimes goes in an odd direction. The label is gimmicky but the idea is not. People yell from the rooftops about wanting their beer fresh. Eliminate the idea of the enjoy by title and realize that Stone's goal with this beer is to attempt to give people around the entire country the chance to get a quality IPA from an established company as fresh as economics and distribution allows. How can anyone who fancies themselves a beer advocate be against that?

 

Oh it will probably show, at 13-15 bucks a bottle again. I'll get my Bro in law to bring it from ATL at 7.49 a bottle when he comes down... again.

 

They should also be launching the Enjoy After series with this release unless their plans have changed.

 

This and Stone Go to IPA perfect for some hot summer nights ahead

 

I'll buy at least one every batch that I can get. It's a good IPA, IMO. It's fresh, and I haven't been let down by it yet. And you don't have to worry about trying to find a date on the bottle. It's posted right in your face. Wonder if other breweries will adopt a similar way to market their IPAs in the next year. A little surprised no has yet. My apologies if some already have - I just haven't noticed it.

 

Got that right. We've seen, what, one batch?

 

Because they can. They have the experience and knowhow to blend the different varieties of hops to create a complex beer of hoppy deliciousness.

To put it into perspective, their Go To IPA has 9 different varieties of hops... and it's only a 4.5% beer. The 11 varieties may seem excessive, but they make it work.

 

Apparently Vinny now adds some Amarillo to the dry hop, so that bumps PtE up to six varietals. I'm pretty sure that OTWOA uses the regular Falconer's Flight blend, though, not the 7C's version. Still, they're all great brews.

 

Because these go to 11.

 

I just hope it doesn't taste like I'm biting into an onion again. The 4/20 release was just... over the top onion.
