A Truly Arrogantale

This is an aggressive beer. You probably wont like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to a safer and more familiar territory maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you its made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better. Perhaps youre mouthing your words as you read this.

This beer tells you that you wont like it. It belittles you before you even take your first whiff. And thats exactly what I like about it. Its a true craft beer drinkers beer. Big and bold, full of hops, this American Strong Ale is one of my staple favorites. Amber in color, big on flavor, probably a little much for a newbie beer drinker, but perfect for the pros.

Located in Escondido, California, Stone Brewing Company was founded by Steve Wagner and Greg Koch in 1996. Passionate about craft beer, these two friends teamed up as brewer and business man, creating a legend. Ill let them sum up who they really are, because frankly, they do it best:

We are a small, honest brewery with unrealistically high, yet cantankerously unwavering, standards. We concentrate on creating the most satisflying, big character ales imaginable, by using only the finest natural ingredients. And lots of em!

Quick Facts:

I know they sound tough with their big scary beers, but they do appreciate the environment like true Californians. In 2008, they covered the roof of the brewery with solar panels, which cut operating costs in half.

Stone started out with 400 barrels per year in 1996 and in 2009 they were up to 98,500 barrels per year. They were listed in the top 100 fastest growing San Diego businesses in 2004, 2005, 2006 in the San Diego Business Journal. They must be doing something right!

Stone features 8 year round beers and an assortment of limited and special releases as well as collaboration releases with Dogfish Head and Victory Brewing Companies. More information on their portfolio visit www.stonebrew.com
