    BeerPulse is reporting that Stone's spokesperson says the beer will be brewed again, with a name change:​

    It's funny to think about IPAs at 35 days being über fresh as they describe in the article. I've spoiled myself with 1-3 week old IPAs far too much lately.

    Go to Hunterdon Brewing's twitter page. They are the NJ distributor and they posted a list of restaurants and liquor stores that are getting it

    BTW, this beer is pretty good. Definitely aims to be a bright hoppy dipa. Make no mistake though...I still enjoy my Kern JO, Citra, and Alpine IPA's (all of them) a lot more than Enjoy By. Nevertheless...I'll be drinking a few of these in the coming weeks. Such a tease drinking just a 4oz taster of this at the reception and 16th anniv.

    Had two pints of 16th Anniv. Saturday night, but haven't seen it on the shelves.

    Here is the story right from Greg Koch. Each new batch will have a new gigantic best by date on the front label.

    In that case, I rescind my earlier. Awesome decision is awesome! One request: can the Bay Area get the "Enjoy by 4-20-13" label?

    drinking a bottle now. nice beer. heavy on the aromatic floral hops but there is some definite bitterness through the finish. very clean malt profile. i'd put it below the 10th anniversary ruination but better than the 16th if that helps. sometimes i wished stone would just drop the abv on these beers by a few percent; would probably do wonders to clean 'em up and improve the overall quality.

    What's the word on the production amount of this beer? My local WF only got 1 case which means they're putting a Limit 1 on purchases.

    I checked Binny's yesterday 8-20-12 and they did not have any, the gentleman told me Thursday which is weird because their blog said 8-21-12.... :angry:

    Drinking one right now- pretty damn good (and definitely fresh, lol). I like it better than 16th Anniversary (nothing against the rye or the lemon, but the combination felt a little off to me). But it can't match Ruination 10th- honestly the finest beer I've ever had (including PtE, PtY, and many excellent Alpine brews). Come on, Stone- bring back R10 already. :slight_smile:

    this beer is awesome. i was able to score quite a few bottles today. hunterdon in NJ sent it to all of these locations, was available today at joe canal's in lawrenceville. 6 bottle limit. $7.99 a bottle, they had gone through 3 cases by 3:45.

    ...and as I finish off the bomber, side-by-side with a PtE, I actually prefer the EnjoyBy. Pliny is a wonderful, clean, crisp, simple IPA. But nobody (with the obvious exception of Alpine) does complex, flavorful, "bursting with hoppy goodness" IPAs like Stone. At least recently. Bring back R10!!!

    I asked one of my local bottleshop guys if he was going to have it in, and he was unaware of the release. When I told him about the lable and asked if he could return any unsold on September 22nd, he just laughed and pointed to his clearance section.........
