Stone Enjoy By is coming!

Belmont Station was sold out before I even got off work. Ugg. Got some from the tap, though.

 

Picked up 2 bottles today, no limit, lots available.

Where you ask? It's where I will be walking back to on Monday on my lunch break.

Hint: I work downtown.

 

I picked up a couple of bottles of Enjoy By 02.15.13 and it was really really good, BUT

Ruination 10th was just....... 10 times better.

 

Not sure it's fair to directly compare Enjoy By to Ruination 10 year, but I'll do it anyway - R10YR was by far and away my favorite of the two. Enjoy By would be better with some more sweetness to help highlight the hop flavors. I'm most impressed how they hid the 9.4%

 

I thought it was on par with Deviation from Oskar Blues. Solid beer.

 

The only Deviation I know of tasted even better.

 

hahaha, yeah wow, Deviant! Duh! It's Friday oh well.. I wish they would let you edit your posts.

 

They do, but you have to catch it within 15 minutes.

 

Bridgetown Beerhouse got theirs in today. Also tapping a keg of it tomorrow at the 4th anniversary party.

 

...and it's gone.

(via their fb feed).

 

FYI: The Enjoy By page has a map showing all the places that were supposed to receive it. It's about 1/2 way down the page.

For those up north. Norm's market in Lake Stevens had a few bottles as of an hour ago.

 

This is at Lynnwood Whole Foods. Not out on shelves yet.

 

Gotta love that crazy cluster around Seattle

 

Two cases arrived at Lynnwood Whole Foods, it's on the shelf now.

 

Had my last bomber tonight. It was pretty good. Not quite hype-worthy, but still a good double IPA.

Glad I didn't wait until tomorrow. I'm sure it would taste like **** by then.

 

You've been waiting for a month to post this, haven't you?

 

I'm honestly curious what others thought because I scored one late last week through pure luck and drank it a couple days ago.

But I found it to be surprisingly sweet. It was counter to my expectations considering that it was Stone we're talking about. Yes, there was hops, but I wonder if I really did lose some flavor because it seems like the sweetness level almost too strong for the hop level.
