Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA Returns

Taste great is right! Glad I picked this up.

 

$16.99 in Md. I cringed but bought a sixer. It’s ok, nice change of pace from the sweet haze. Has that classic Stone “chewing on pine bark” flavor. I must be in a rare area because there are a few local brewers in MD that make Black/cascade IPAs and I actually like them better than this Stone beer. With that said, if Stone decides to keep releasing their retired beers at $16.99 a sixer Id by once each offering. That’s alot more of my dollars and beer volume going to them than their subpar hoppy IPA regular offerings of last few years which I’ve only bought a few scattered singles at best (and not been very impressed).

 

$15 here and no regrets. One of the few Stone beers that I have enjoyed recently. Wish it was a year rounder.
Cheers!

 

While I don't disagree, I'd happily settle for seasonal if I knew I could find it repeatedly fresh annually.
