Stone Enjoy By Exansion

It was wicked awesome, had some super fresh. Also, The "enjoy by" is so that you taste the beer at the peak of it's freshness, at the focus is obviously the hops. Prevents retailers from selling it to astute beer people when it isn't fresh.

However, I went to the Tap House Grill in St charles one time, and they had this on tap a few weeks after the date had passed. I asked the guy "why are you still selling that" and he said "that means its better man... it's aged." I almost threw up...tried to call stone, but their phone messaging system was silly, and they would probably laugh at me anyway.

 

Yea man, I feel for ya. I'm in FL and haven't really had the urge to go out and trade for the last release. Im excited to try this one though, as I'll save one for that date.

 

so will MA distributors hang on to this until well after the enjoy by date?

 

Do it online. http://www.stonebrewing.com/freshbeer/

 

So is it the same recipe or is this one different? I didnt care for the first one at all.

 

Had the last batch.

Good one.

 

hell yeah hitting illinois! i loved the first batch, this is some end of the world beer with the 12-21 best by date

 

Without a doubt.

 

Missed the last batch in Ohio. I drove up and tried to locate it, but struck out. Glad to see the next batch is coming to Kentucky. I guess all that time I spent hitting that buzz meter on Stone's website paid off!

 

Grrrrr

I was hoping whenever they got around to MA they would do an all-out New England release.

 

We drink more beer than you. Simple as that.

Sorry, Joe. I'm just a dumb redneck. I didn't know there was cool people in Jersey.

 

You're a blue state, homie. You can't be THAT red.

Come up sometime and find out. In the meantime, ship me cigar city.

- Joe

 

They still countin' bo, I can send you some Cigar City. What you want Moat, Cognac Sweet Stout, Zhukov, what?

 

great beer; we need this in GA

 

Is this coming to MA? Anyone know the distribution?

 

I'm happy! One of my favorites! Its marketing genius to have it "last" until the end of the world. Even the clock on the site counts down until the end.

Thats my review. You can go to stonebrewing.com/enjoyby to see when and where it'll be available. Search by zipcode and find the nearest shop to you.

 

Well that sucks. No Georgia.

 

What are the chances bottles will still be on the shelf a week into December? I'm making a road trip from GA to NYC and wonder if it will even be worth keeping an eye out for it in NJ/NYC.
