When was the last time you had Stone IPA?

Definitely been at least over a year. Prob closer to 2. It is good, but I think there is better, and there's a bunch of choices

 

Last night. Goes down too easy straight from the bottle

 

Had it recently because my friend had a fridge full of it. Bummer part was it was old. Been awhile since I bought it on tap and can't remember last time I bought Bottles.

 

I've boycotted Stone products ever since they asked customers to donate millions of dollars to open their Berlin brewpub. It's pathetic that a company with that much success would ask for donors to fund their project and even moreso, to falsely state that the products you will receive for donations of specific levels would be shipped internationally when infact the products had to be picked up. A $30.00 donation would grant you one bomber; a $300.00 donation would grant you one case. Almost no products were actually claimed.

 

If true I would be done with stone as well. That bullshit.

Enjoy

 

Just Google "Stone Indiegogo."

 

Out of roughly 14,000 donations raising over $2.4mil, 2,800 rewards were claimed. That includes almost 600 t-shirts which could actually be shipped.

 

Not a big fan of piney hops, so it's been a while. I prefer citrus/floral.

East Coast vs. West Coast!

 

I found some today under a month old, and it's fantastic! It even has a slight airy floral quality to it- what a difference when it's this fresh.

I naturally just changed my vote in the poll .

 

I just took your survey and more BAs have not had this wonderful IPA in over a year than the earlier times on the survey. It has actually been a few years since I enjoyed it. Shame on me.

 

That's my problem. At my local bottle shop today, I agonized between Cali-Belgique and Ruination in 12oz. bottles, as well as Enjoy By, Black IPA Enjoy By, and the Stone & Sierra Nevada NXS in bombers. Those weren't the only Stone products, either, just the ones most demanding of my attention--and that's not mentioning all the other IPAs from breweries all around the country. I very, very often leave the store with a Stone product, but pretty much the only time I drink Stone IPA is when it's on tap somewhere...


P.S. I also purchased a Stone Enjoy After Brett IPA bomber, but I'm not counting that, since I won't be consuming it for at least ten months!

 

I'm always buying Stone IPA. While I frequently like to try new and exciting things, that one is one of my faves. Though Odell is slowly tearing me away from my attachments.

 

Monthly. It is my go-to IPA when I am indecisive. However, the TITAN from Great Divide is moving up there.

 

Had one today, then saw a stone ipa shirt on Amazon being sold by hot topic. So uncool.

 

I had some at friend's house last month. I kick myself all the time for not buying it more often, but with all of the new, seasonal, limited release, and one-time brew IPAs out there, I only actively buy it a few times a year now. A shame, too, because it's still one of my favorite IPAs. It's so bitter, piney, and citrusy. It's what cemented my love for IPAs in the first place.

 

So I've had 2 stone IPAs lately and both have tasted and smelled off. It's one of my favorites so I was really thrown for a loop. The first one was a single from Trader Joe's; I figured it wasn't quite the same because they don't refrigerate their beers. The second was fresh and was kept refrigerated. Same thing. It's missing that citrus and piney punch I'm so used to. Super disappointed. They're in my top three breweries and will always love them. Is it possible they had a bad batch? Their quality control is second to none so I find this hard to believe. Maybe my palate has changed. Anyone else notice this?

 

I had the first batch of Stone IPA brewed in Germany 2 weeks ago.

 

Back in early October when I was in San Diego for work. Had it on-tap at a little Italian place where the only draft options were Peroni and Stone IPA. That's the kind of thing I love about San Diego, good beer flows so readily that even in the least beery of places, like this restaurant, the bare minimum is still fantastic.

 

Have not had since I moved from NJ to Wyo as they do not distribute here!!!!

 

Well it's a bit hard to send beer that hasn't bee brewed yet! The rewards still unclaimed will be brewed in Berlin once the brewery is fully up and running and available for claiming after that. If you have any issues with any beer purchased through this presale event feel free to contact us at [email protected]
