Stone Espresso IRS

You should have it first week of May due to a hold up with the state, per TWCP. Must be something to do with coffee/espresso on the label.

Grabbed two each of IRS and Espresso IRS this afternoon. 6.99 each. They were so cold from sitting on the truck all day, the checkout person (a manager) asked if the beer guy was refrigerating them.

 

Anybody having any lukc here in the bay area-east bay? San Ramon Bevmo, was no dice.

 

I'll be the first to complain about price when needed, but 22oz. of RIS brewed w/ coffee for $8.00, shipped from Cali to MA in the same week? Solid price point, solid brew!

 

Wow, this beer is great!! Drinking one right now, good near room temp.

 

stone did a great job on this beer because they only slightly tweaked the classic IRS recipe, which is a world class beer.

 

Agreed. i got my in CT yesterday for $7 and change out the door.

 

Wow this stuff is good!

 

where the heck do you live in NorCal? Its here in the Santa Cruz/San Jose/San Fran area

 

Excellent beer, got a case, leaving atleast 6 of them in the cellar, I think this will age quite well.

 

And I'm just the opposite. Hate, hate, HATE any licorice/anise flavor in beer (or anything else). Love coffee. Love that flavor in beer. Really hope this beer is more espresso-forward.

This is the great thing about the scale of the craft beer movement - there's always something for everyone. One of us will likely love this beer while the other hates it. Whoever isn't enthralled with it will have plenty of other options. Three cheers for beer!

 

I did not taste any anise in the Espresso IRS ... if it is there it is very understated. Big coffee, you will like it.

 

Missed out on dayman and the past couple enjoy by releases. Gotta make up for it with this one!

 

Grabbed a couple bottles in Chicago proper. There seems to be a good amount here and no bottle limit. If it's as good as it seems to be, then the availability and price point are almost second to none. This is on par with $9/6pack Sucks.

 

Is this coming to Ohio.

 

I picked up a bottle of this today along with IRS. I haven't tried it yet but it was one of the last bottles. Call your beer stores or go look asap because it's going fast!

 

Paid $9 for mine but still worth it!

 

Just picked up 4 bottles for $6 bucks each. Store had 3 left, should I go back and grab em?

 

This is a bomber of coffee, with a hint of imperial stout. Awesome, just awesome.
