    Safe to assume it's not IRS. I'd bet on Arrogant Bastard. Be a great four pack, though personally I'm thinking about getting a case of Ruin10 this year.

    I enjoyed RuinTen much more than Ruination, so this is certainly a Stone 4-pack I'd love to get behind. Never had Sublimely Self-Righteous, either.

    I'll be keeping my eyes out for it.

    RuinTen was/is the shit. Really hope the nearest Costco to me gets this!

    its going to be a huge let down if ruin ten is not released in singles also...the 3 other beers can be bought almost anywhere and most places in indiana ruination is a shelf turd..often its close to expired everywhere i see it...just my two cents...i would much rather buy 4 ruin tens than this even if there is a price break on these other beers buying the 4 pack

    Anyone know if this will be a stand alone as well, or will we be forced to buy into the rest of their line up in order to indulge?

    Forced to buy their other beers is a strong term :wink:

    I love Stone brews.

    No sign of this at the local Costco tonight. Too bad, I'd have grabbed two.

    Those complaining that they probably won't release singles.. A. They probably don't brew enough RuinTen (I could be wrong) to release singles all over. B. Most of you thought you were never going to have RuinTen again and now they are throwing it in their 4 pack, it's like a special gift for us, so be happy you can have it again. Now on their release calendar it does say RuinTen 6/16 so they must release this in singles/draft nationwide once a year (what I thought). Oh and 18th anniversary beer is 8/18.

    But in all honestly they should release RuinTen all year in 4 packs, then cans, then juice boxes, then most importantly, IV drips.

    I am going to wait to buy a single RuinTen and take my chances - especially if the 4th single is the Russian Imperial Stout - I've already had two and, while great, I have way too many stouts already and need to stop frigging buying them!!! Regardless of how highly rated they are! But of course, if they tossed in the Espresso Russian Imperial Stout, that might make me change my mind...!!

    I hate to be a buzzkill here, and no offence as I know you love Stone, but Stone is basically saying "We'll bring this very well received beer back, so long as you buy it with 3 others from our line-up, no way around it." It's like a "Big Craft" gimmick. There's obviously a bigger agenda here which I'm not a fan of.

    It's no different than Sierra Nevada saying, "Hey! You all liked Hoptimum right? Well, it's back so long as you buy our Torpedo, Ruthless, & Narhwhal." This scenario also wouldn't be THAT bad....but I have no interest in the other 3 beers.

    If these aren't sold individualy, count me out.

    EDIT - Courtesy of DaltonC:

    You make a very good point and argument I have to admit.

    I have to disagree, I do believe hoptimum is a LOT bigger release, considering SN distros to lot more states and that it's in 4 packs. I have had RuinTen once and a friend had to mail me a bottle. I believe it's only one a year release, nationwide I grant you but very limited quantities. Not even sure about draft. They will sell probably double these 4 packs than usual maybe triple just because RuinTen, and while these are still on shelves they will release their annual RuinTen singles nationwide. So most likely this 4 pack is a little advertising and reminder to people that RuinTen still exists and then they drop the bomb with it June 16th. (Source: Stone 2014 release calendar)

    For all those wondering if it will be released in solo too, when they released the IRS, they sold in the 4 packs a week before they released the singles and Stone Ruinten is now a yearly release so I'd assume its the same release strategy for ruinten as well
