Stone Double Bastard to return in 2024

Multiple times a week!!! Then again I live about two miles from the city of Boston.


Sam Adams Throwback 4 pack was $20. $17 for a six pack seems totally fine for something of that ABV these days.

Craft beer is expensive. Also, where are people seeing that it's going to be $17 for a six pack?

 

I think I started it by commenting that their 27th anniversary beer was $17/6 pack.

I agree that craft beer can be expensive, but it's not all the same price. For instance, I'd never pay $20 for a 4 pack of Sam Adam's beer. There's very few beers I'd spring for at that price and those wouldn't be regular purchases.

 

Does anyone know if they are reviving beers based on votes again this year? and was this one of them?

Isn't this what we saw in 2023 with ruination, downunderstruck, etc.? Voted on fan favorites?

 

Double Bastard and Victory at Sea was the two beers that got me into craft beer about 15 years ago (after taking a break from the micro days). So, I'm doing the happy dance right now (well, in my mind). Will be buying a ton of this next year...

 

Gotcha. I suppose it depends on where you live too. $20/4 pack isn't that high in my area.

 

That's wild, you can certainly find beers at that price point around here but not usually on the same shelves where you'd look for Sam Adam's or Stone product

 

I don’t know if it’s because I live 16 miles from their Richmond brewery but it’s pretty reasonable around here. Hell a lot of times I can find a six pack the basic Stone IPA for 9.99 and their mixed 12 packs for 18 bucks

 

Yes. This is why this happened

 

That's waaaay better than their pricing out here and in line with what I would be willing to pay for Stone. 6packs are typically 12.99+ and 12 packs are well over $20, sometimes pushing $30

 

Do you know if they have released the list of 2024 ones yet? Cool that they did it again; and apologies if this has been answered or addressed elsewhere, didn’t see it.

 

Totally agree, but man they’re IPA’s really satisfy.

 

Good lord I wouldn’t pay that much for it either. I think they make some pretty solid stuff, but no way in the world would I pay nearly 30 dollars for a 12 pack. My Costco sells a 24 pack of the basic IPA for 27.99

 

No word yet .

I was told about this like 4 months ago by someone i know that works st Stone but apparently i had forgotten.
I will ask next time i visit and see if they'll tell me

 

Great news, hopefully they show up around here.

Cheers!

Hell yea

SSR , DB and Imperial Stout next year

It's gonna be an OK year with Stone. At a time where everyone is abandoning beers we loved they're catering to people (sans Old Guardian)

 

SSR and Imperial Stout will definitely get my dollars for at least one purchase. I'd love to see Stone put some classics back on the shelf semi regularly

 

Wow people still want stone?

I’ve got a couple double bastards from years ago, if anyone is interested shoot me a label

 

I still frequent the Pasadena location and buy AB stovepipes on the regular.
I actually went today.

I can't answer for everyone, but I still fuck with them.
