    So I went to a Stone event las Vegas (and had many amazing/rare beers of course) and talked to the manager of the brewing department (can't remember his exact title, but something close to that). I asked him if xocoveza would be brewed again and he said the intention from the beginning was to make it a 1 time brew, but that they have plans to brew it again because of the popularity. He did not have a time frame, but assured me it would happen. I'm stoked cause I love that beer, had it on tap and it was spectacular!

    Just thought I would let you guys know.

    Cheers!

    I missed out on that one, but have wanted to try it. Around brewing time I was in a bottle shop and the guy sold his last bottle to the only other guy in the store. Was a really bummer. Hoping to get this if it's made again.

    I remember liking this beer, but I didn't go as crazy for it as some other people that I know

    Beer still is very good, but falling off, not as flavorful as it was. Anyone sitting on these should drink very soon.

    I'd definitely buy another couple bottles. I thought it was quite tasty the first time around.

    Just did a blind yesterday with huna, abraxas, cake, vlad the Conquistador, and xocovesa and 4 out of the 6 people had it as their number one... I would say it's still drinking pretty damn good.

    There's a Mocha IPA on tap at Liberty Station that I tried over the weekend. It was pretty damn good.

    I'm not sure aging this beer in bourbon barrels would work all that well. Now if they were to make an imperial version of it and barrel-age that ... :grinning:

    Yeah, that's all we need - a great beer crapped up in a bourbon barrel. SMH

    I passed on this like a dumbass when it first came out. I even picked up the bottle. I was like "Oh another Stone collab huh? That's cool!" *puts down and buys 4 month old bottle of Mo*

    I will not be making that mistake again.
