Stone - Xocoveza 2016

I think I still have two bottles on the fridge (2015). I might get a six pack if I don't find anything more interesting.

 

One of my local shops jus got it in a few hours ago. Stopping after work to grab a couple 6ers... If theres any left. Goes too quick round these parts.
Cheers!

 

One of my favorites and the only Stone beer that I like.

 

True. Totally not hating on that thought process.

But looking at the likes of GI BCBS and its other variants, they went the opposite direction.4 packs used to be laughed at and bought at $20-$22/48 ounces.. Now they are the ones laughing at ~16 oz. for $12-$15.. Who won out there when people started questioning prices? Gi.... even AB INBEV lol

So truly, in this time where start ups feel they have to strike while the iron is hot, and others just expanding like crazy, this approach to go from Bombers to sixers is SO unlike anything we have seen in awhile. So for a front runner like Stone to do it, I have to truly pull all of my support their way here. This is unheard of.

We know they did the bomber to sixer format with Enjoy by, while also giving consumers a chance to just buy a bomber. But I've done the math before. I think we are basically getting a bomber free for every bought "six pack", had they kept the old format the same. We are finally winning out, and I don't want Stone to feel like they are getting a bad bargain. This is an all FALL high for me.

 

It didn't hit stores in these parts until November last year. The bottles I have were born on 10/30.

 

Same here got a pack and a half left side by side it is

 

A "winter-spiced" stout released near winter? Pfft, nonsense.

 

looking forward to having my fridge stocked full of this and born yesterday just like last year. probably went through a case and a half and still could've used more...great stuff.

 

We're getting distribution of Stone in South Dakota by the end of the year (According to response from Greg Koch), hopefully in time to nab some Xocoveza...

 

I hope they are making more this year. Was lucky to score one six pack here NJ last year. Never saw it again.

 

its funny you say that. I saw it once, picked it up making a special trip to do so. It came again in early December and just sat on shelves for a month or so. I'm in the middle of nowhere Ohio.

 

Website says there is no scheduled delivery yet for Colorado... hisssssss

 

NJ has it. Ive seen it this week in Ocean County.

 

It was one of my favorite beers last year. Can't wait to get more of it.

 

Can't wait to get my hands on the 2016. It indeed has become a tradition at our house.

 

Wish they would try an iteration of this without animal products. Can't win 'em all, I suppose.

 

Couldn't get my hands on any last year... hoping VT gets a little extra this time around.

 

Animal products?

 

Stores in Mercer and Middlesex counties NJ just putting this on the shelf. After missing it last year I was able to secure some this year. Also grabbed the Cabin Fever mix.

 

Cow's milk.
