Stone Ruination 10 year anniversary.

I'm not denying that parabola isn't worth it but stone could probably charge more for their limited release beers than they do.

 

Stone IRS isn't really "limited", particularly when compared to a beer like Parabola. It's just a seasonal, but I tend to see it around for a long time after it's released.

 

picked up two bottles of this great tasting beer this morning in the hb area. going for 6.50-7 per bottle. had one last evening and it was very delicious, citrusy & bitter to the end. def a good priced brew from stone.

 

This is very true. In the abstract, they could require you to buy a $25 book for the opportunity to buy a $25 500ml bottle of beer.

 

Totally justified. The additional $0.41 in taxes they had to pay on that beer is breaking the bank.

 

Just got it in at Stearns Liquor in long beach

 

You guys are killing me. Probably not hitting AZ til next week.

 

I'm looking forward to this. I just wish I had the privilege of paying $50 for a pint of Stone's barrel-aged beer like the spoiled San Diegans do.

 

I bought a bottle at one of the best beer stores in San Francisco and of course the bag broke right as I walked in the door and the bottle broke. Decided to take the 15 minute drive back to buy another bottle. I was annoyed at the time, but now I realize it was totally worth it.

 

Healthy Spirits

 

good times, great beer, can't wait for the keg!

 

This is what I've been waiting to hear.

 

Had one with some folks last night - strong flavors, heavy malt and alcohol - but very quaffable. Watch out for that 10.8 abv.

 

on tap at Beachwood SB. And CASK!

 

Had some last night. Tastes like Ruination on Steroids. It's excellent, and a fair price to boot. Although like others have said, it's a pretty gnarly beer at 10%+.

 

only 5.59 at whole foods this weekend. even better price for this monster.

 

Tried this on tap Wednesday night at Bru Grill in Lake Forest - amazingly awesome. Agree with above, Ruination on roids.

 

Is it just me or does anyone find it taste like a hopped up Double Bastard rather than a hopped up Ruination?

 

Tried it at Firestone Fest. It was late in the day, but still notably hoppy and balanced. Absolutely beautifully made.

 

I bought a case yesterday at Whole Foods for 20% off which came out to 5.59 a bomb, good deal in my opinion. Now for Fathers Day's Ruinating!!
