Stone Brewing "Oaked" Arrogant Bastard

4 out of 5 Hops


Another Great Brew from the folks at Stone Brewing (www.stonebrew.com). I've long been a fan of their many tasty beers. This of course is the oak barrel aged the Arrogant Bastard ale which falls somewhere between an Amber and an IPA...like an Anabolic Amber. Rumor has it the IBU is somewhere in the 100-102 range with all Chinook hops. This bad boy runs 7.2% ABV and has a smokey hopped aroma. Taste is smoother than regular Arrogant with a distilled liquor after taste. Careful chuggin these down, they are addicting. Its a sit and relax and sip kinda brew for me. Damn fine beer.

Stone Brewery Pale Ale

4 out of 5 Hop Cones




Truth be known, I am really partial to Stone Brewery Beers. They are true craft brewer that emphasizes unique flavors and care into each Beer. Alcohol content on this one is 5.4% so you can easily enjoy a few and savor the flavors and fragrances. This beer is an English style Pale with amber color and a unique hop blend of Columbus and Abtanum hops. The flavor is hoppy and refreshing with some malt character and again that unique hop blend aftertaste. I was a little surprised when drinking this one in that I felt the alcohol right away...hmmm...I must not be drinking often enough...what a light weight! I enjoyed this beer very much and would happily keep it around as a "go-to" beer for most any occasion. Stonebrewery.com
