Stone Double Bastard to return in 2024

There's some Bigfoot left around my area. Might have to do a side by side. Then throw up and fall asleep.

I agree though as someone who has had a lot of Bigfoot including two weeks ago on tap.

I never really considered “Strong Ale” a specific style. Simply just a category to place stronger beers that a brewery hasn’t specifically put into a category.

Just look at the top ten here on BA. “Coffee cinnamon bomb” shouldn’t be anywhere near something like Double Bastard.

 

Having some Double Bastard on tap as i type

They also have Cali-Belgique on tap....SAY WHAT?!?!?!!?!?

 

The writing you sent with that coffee looks awesome on the beer fridge. There it shall stay…

 

Why yes, I have Bigfoot in my fridge and have been drinking since the 2024 Release. I would agree that they are very similar. Hence my comment that Bigfoot is less hoppier than releases 8-10 year ago.

 

Fair point. I have never dove into the historical aspect or details of what is considered an English Strong Ale, but I always though it was specific English style of beer. You used to see more Strong and Old Ales on the market (still drink North Coast version). The difference to me between IPAs and Ales is the amount of hops.

The difference between an ale and a strong ale is the alcohol content. However, if you asked the difference between a winter warmer (Fremont B-bomb) and a strong ale, you got me. I would consider them both strong ales.

Well, there I go again showing my level of ignorance...at least this thread allowed me to make a decision on what to drink to night. Bigfoot!

 

I had hoped that first layer on their tongue from birth was ripped off by the recent Ruination re-release so they’d be ok with DB. Ah well. More conditioning is needed.

 

I saw that this morning. So random where this beer is showing up. And until this morning, I didn't even know Hennings had beer lol. Cheers and Enjoy!

 

This made it to Chicago! Sixer acquired. Can't wait to revisit.

 

I was wondering what you did with that

 

For folks mentioning Old Guardian in this thread, seems a limited release might be on the horizon possibly? This label would suggest it anyway. Label indicates brewed in Richmond fwiw. Maybe @Resistance88 can get the skinny on it.

 

Just got word it's releasing the End of next month.

Can't.
Fucking.
Wait.

 

National distro, or just Stone locations?

 

Or, option 3, national distro other than the SF Bay Area (like other f’in Stone releases)

 

Based on the labeling not saying fan favorite release and that it's in 16 oz cans, my guys is brewery only release.
