    The Gods have answered our prayers. Stone will be releasing RuinTen in their mixed 4 packs nationwide starting this week i'm guessing. From what I hear it is already in Costco and other stores in SoCal. As you can see there's RuinTen, Ruination, and Sublimely, not sure what the 4th beer is, if I had to guess it would be their IPA or Stout/Porter.

    I hope it is still the IRS, definitely going to be looking for this though!

    I'd bet the 4th is probably Arrogant Bastard

    Are they releasing Ruinten stand alone ? Probably one of my favorite all time 2x IPA's

    If the 4th beer is IRS, I'll be buying so many of these!

    agreed, I don't see them putting IRS in this alongside RuinTen, but we can hope! the Costco 4 pks i'm seeing here now are IPA, SSR, IRS and Arrogant Bastard

    Does this mean they're brewing more RuinTen or is this a way to get rid of the bottles already in inventory?

    oh my... i sure hope it's not the later. What a terrible decision that would be. Here we bundled in a year old DIPA, yeah it's lost everything that made it good but you have these other beers to drink with it so I am sure you won't be upset.

    With Stone's massive marketing campaign and emphasis on drinking IPAs as fresh as you can, I highly doubt you have to worry about this being old RuinTen.

    I want to say that they released a statement last year that it would be a rotating annual release along the lines of IRS and Old Guardian. So, yes. It will be brewed plenty more.

    Edit: From the Stone website:

    We first released this decidedly indelicate beer in 2012, as Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our belovedly bitter Stone Ruination IPA. Stone RuinTen IPA uses the same recklessly hoppy recipe as the 2012 release; only the name has changed, as we plan to unleash this belligerently delicious hop monster upon the public annually from now on. We packed a whopping five pounds of hops into each barrel, and cranked up the ABV to stand up to the hop onslaught. The results are glorious, and we know you'll rejoice in tasting this audacious gem of hoppy splendor once again. You're welcome.

    Wow, Good Catch! I actually would have been really surprised had it been the old batch and figured it would be new. I was just picturing the BA outrage if that was true, :slight_smile:
