Believe it or not, I have never seen a bottle of Stone PA here.What he said. But the Pale Ale is the best session beer evah!!They don't.I love their IPA, but it isn't a hop blast like Ruination is.How are the PAs and IPA compared to the Ruination?Here is the loot I grabbed on the way home. This should be a good start to things.

Cool!Actually started off with the Mother's Milk and Coals Porter that I received from bakes yesterday. Both were
Keegan Ales (Mother's Milk) was formerly Woodstock Brewing Company, the brewery responsible for Big Indian Porter which was, without question, the best porter I ever had... on tap. The bottling line sucked and was what killed the brewery in its first incarnation. Tommy Keegan (formerly of Brickhouse/Blue Point on Long Island) bought the brewery straightened out the bottling line and has a lineup of three beers that are VERY popular around the Kingston area. I spent a week or so there for work and really enjoyed their stout and their IPA.

You don't know me very well, do you? Think about this: I officially am on vacation as of 4 PM today (Friday). What earthly reason do I have to be sober?There is no way you've drank tonite.Its VERY good. Some serious coffee going on here.

Gotta love a brewpub that has a vast array of brews available. My guess is that if you get to know the brewmaster there's no end to what's available in bottles in some dusty corner of the basement.

What beers do they actually bottle? The bottle I'm drinking now (by the way, 4.55) is the only bottle I've ever seen.How do you think I found their website?Check BA, they have just a *touch* more beers listed than currently at the websiteFrom their website:I would love to visit that brewery.

From the sound of it, the barleywine was aged for a year in the bottle.
One way to find out for certain, and believe me, I plan on finding out!!!

You never talk about west coast beers. Do you have access to our barleywines?

Quite a few. Bigfoot, Moylan's, Foghorn (when it shows), the occasional Old Guardian, most of the larger or more widely distributed breweries. the smaller ones? Nope.You *******.From the sound of it, the barleywine was aged for a year in the bottle.
BTW, had the Old Guardian on cask here once. Never has a beer so thoroughly kicked my ###. Of course, it had help from its little tap brothers Ruination, Arrogant ******* on oak, and Double *******. CB Mahar's and a Stone release party. CDB not having a designated driver and getting a kink in my neck from sleeping it off in a 1992 Accord.

Cool. Love the fresh hoppiness of that one. They also brew a solid porter and outstanding Old Man Winter dark hoppy holiday ale. Their Tripel is pretty pedestrian, though.Obligatory Bakes beer story: The head brewer used to work at Ellicottville Brewing Co, a brewpub in a tiny ski town in the middle of nowhere in western NY. Their (E-ville's) pale ale - not IPA, but regular old pale ale - blew me away. Still does. Just an absolute hop attack. They're supposedly having it bottled at Southern Tier and it should be available soon. I wanna see if the bottled version has that same "keg full o' hops" flavor. My buddy has tried their double IPA and loved it - and he's a malt maven.

Sounds killer. Keep us postedLOVED the Smuttynose IPA. I wish I could get that stuff down here. Ive liked everything Ive tried form them so far (Shoals Pale and '06 Summer Weizen). Quality brewery

We're not snobs. Far from it. We just drink beers that would get us blasted faster than Bud Light, taste better than Bud Light, give us less of a hangover than Bud Light, and don't make us pine for the chubby ones that got away like Bud Light.

Smutty rules. Check out the Brewer's Notes on their website - pretty cool stuff. Yerrington's a helluva cool dude as well.If and when I see the Eville, and if it's as good in bottle as it is on tap, a LOT of FBGs are gonna find out about it first hand.Sounds killer.

They figure if the the place is closed, or if the beer is definitely out of production, there's no sense in reviewing a legacy beer. I don't get it, as there's still product on the shelves.I still remember the day they deleted my Molson Porter review.

Its crap. Honestly, why close it? Maybe I have a vintage bottle I want to review? Its these type of "random" decisions these guys make that drive me crazy. They are making more work for themselves.They figure if the the place is closed, or if the beer is definitely out of production, there's no sense in reviewing a legacy beer.

Basically. The bro's have a set idea about what they want BA to be, and come hell or high water they're going forward with it. Does all of it make sense to me? Nah. But I can appreciate what they're doing, even when I disagree with some of their decisions (as with reviewing retired beers).I'm outta here. 6:30 is 5 and a half hours away, and there's a couple of growlers with my name on 'em at Cape Cod Brewing that I don't wanna keep waiting. I'll be sparse here for a week or so - drink some for me!!!Its crap. Honestly, why close it? Maybe I have a vintage bottle I want to review?
