looks like Stone Enjoy After 07.04.16 Brett IPA has hit DC.  at WF it's either the same price, or maybe a dollar more, than what i paid for my bottle that i bought from the Stone company store in san diego.  dammit.  i could have used that suitcase space for something else…


How much did you pay for it? I got one in VA yesterday…it wasn't until I got home that I realized they had charged me a fair bit more than the usual Stone bomber price I was expecting. Also got a Williamsburg Cafe Royale, at about the regular price of a Stone bomber.

wow, big news.  Duvel Mortaat hasn't effed up Ommegang nor Boulevard, so i'm hopeful.  as long as matt brynildson is still onboard, in Firestone i trust.

this might mean more FW for us folks outside of CA.

I feel like you have more to say. "The end"ing a thread is like converting to Judaism: you have to declare your intentions three times before its done.

I think he means the rare stuff, in greater quantity. Not their core year rounds beers. But you probably knew that.

Nice. Maybe the best hoppy beer I've had all year (Sue). I got a four pack and have one left. Broke one bottle before I even got it home. Almost think I should have brought home less New Glarus and more Sue. Though that's a tough call.

I prefer the New Glarus fruit beers over Sue (two totally different options, but still my preference).
