I went to the bottle shop in hopes I could find an IPA from Black Raven Brewing that has been recommended to me. Sadly, they did not carry it. So I had the beer pictured a few posts above and a beer called "Beard Beer". A beer brewed using the yeast strain growing in the head Brewers beard. Sounds awful but is really good.

Then out of the corner of my eye I see this bottle here before you. Stone makes it a couple times a year and it out of this world! Fresh, fresh, fresh IPAs are the best IPAs and Stone tells you how long you have to drink it buy placing it as the label.

Appearance:
Pours a deep Amber color with a one finger head forming that dissipates quickly. Lacing is spider web fine as it descends down the glass.

Aroma:
For a hop head this is heaven. Heavy pine sap/resin mixed with sweet citrus fruit.

Taste:
Spruce, grapefruit, orange, and cut grass are up front and finishes with a sweet and dank on the tongue.

Overall:
4.7 out of 5. A remarkable beer that is full of character. An IPA that knows how to be an IPA. Citrusy, piney, dank and floral. It should be a crime to drink a beer that is 9.4% this dang easy.
Lock me up. Im hooked again.

Stone consistently makes a darn good IPA wth their Enjoy By. Whenever a new one comes out, I always pick up a bottle or two to, well, enjoy.

You fellas made me laugh. Trust when I say that it is not as foul as it sounds.

A lot of science going on here. Brewing yeast strains come from all sorts of places. From wooden ceiling planks in old buildings, to open air capture tanks. Not all yeasts are good for brewing though. Rogue Brewing thought a little bit out of the box when they came up with this one.

They plucked a few hairs from the head brewers thick, robust beard. Placed them in a Petri dish and waited for things to grow. What they discovered was a very usable brewing yeast strain.

Rogue was at the Oregon Brew Fest 2 years ago when they introduced this beer. The sole reason I went to the festival was to try this beer. I waded though seas of people and stood in line for a good hour just to try a 7oz sample. It was worth it. I enjoyed the beer.

My wife on the other hand sounded like you guys. She couldn't get the visual of some sweaty, filthy, crumb infested, beard of some strange fellow out of her head and would not try it. I admit, it is odd when you first hear of it. But, no stranger than where your beers yeast comes from. If they told us would we ever drink beer again?

Cheers gents

I understand the process. I still wouldn't fill a growler with beer fermented from growler.
 
Ugh. We were going to head to Duff's for some wings tonight, but Sam came home from work early not feeling good. I volunteered to walk over to the nearby Wild Wings to grab some for a night in. We knew they wouldn't be as good, but didn't expect them to be so disappointing. The "Extra hot" were roughly medium. Sam's "medium" tasted like a few drips of hot sauce were mixed in with a melted pound of butter.

Just awful.
 
Kinda strange to just tell people what you ate? At least take a picture?

Do you care I had a Whopper and a beer? Doubt it. But a picture of it might be worth sharing?

With onion rings and Angriest sauce.

Narcissism at its finest.

Hot sauce soaked bun (it's a lot redder than the picture appears), pepper bacon, jalapeños, pepper jack cheese and some sauce and not a single hiccup from the heat. Pitiful.

I might have a different opinion in the morning, though...
 
Screw my stomach. I decided to go to McDonald's and get a quarter pounder, a buttermilk crispy chicken sandwich, three medium fries, and a McFlurry. All for free. I'm full now.

Holy 🤬. I hope you feel well.

I decided to have 2 sausage egg and cheese McFluffics and 2 Hashbrowns from the same place. :cheers:
 
So far, I feel fine. Granted, I took several kinds of stomach medicine before hand.
