Yup. That's right. We got it. There were only six (6) barrels of this bad boy delivered in our area and we got our dirty little hands on one.
From Stone:
"Double IPA | 9.4% ABV
You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers - especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs - we've taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We've not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you're getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, we made sure that the Enjoy By date isn't randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the label, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and consumers. Instead, we've sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA."
On 04.02.13, if there are any left on the shelves or taps, Stone is taking it back. That will definitely not happen as we are already going through this keg QUICK. See you soon.
Smoochies, Len & Jerry
