    If Stone spent 1/2 as much time developing good solid NEW beers as they did on hotels, growler fill locations, farms and everything else, they'd be world class. It's a fancy spot that is nice and their fests they do on site are good, but they've slipped a few notches in the beer department. While they might be the biggest recognized name in San Diego, they are not the best by far. Ruination 10 was a lone standout in excllence that has been sorely lacking as of late.

    I do agree somewhat with you. I feel they have more potential in beer releases... however they haven't been dogging it either.

    Fun beers they have released in the past year:

    15th Anny
    More brown than black
    Oak aged Unreal
    BB Bastard
    Ruination 10
    Plus the two versions of smoked porter in bottles are fun, and I know I am missing a few other QM, Collabs, and tap only variants

    plus others they worked on, that I was not a huge fan of but they put effort into:
    Suitable for Cave aging
    Mix tape
    Bottle Works 13th
    LeVariation
    TBA

    I couldn't agree more.

    Is Stonewall still available on the bottle list?

    No. In the past, they've put it on the list for/around Stone's Winter Storm festival.
