Stone Brewing Levitation Ale
Beer-a-Day #287
This is a leftover from O-fest weekend. Score!
Deep amber and a solid head. Piney and resiny hops; I mean, the aroma is just loaded with them. Big hoppy flavor but still just session weight. I could see myself drinking that a lot.

Beer-a-Day #326 Medium amber with a little chill haze. Big hop aroma, with grapefruit and toast. Big hop flavor and delicious. They should just call this “hop head’s delight”.

Beer-a-Day #303 Deep, nearly opaque amber color with a good inch of creamy-looking head. Piney and resiny aromas, with a bit of vanilla I think. Nice, big hoppy flavor with a little bit of sweetness in the finish. Oh, I’m worthy brother.

Stone Levitation

It has been said that gravity sucks…so in the defiance of gravity, Stone Brewing brings us Levitation Ale. The beer promises to bring big flavor at only 4.4% ABV and Stone has yet to disappointment me.

Session #26: Stone Smoked Porter
about 1 year ago - No comments
Session #26 is Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em, hosted by Lew Bryson. There may be more smoked beers than are dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio; it’s not just rauchbier lagers from Franconia.

Back in October we tried an Octoberfest bake off (a taste test) and it wasn’t that successful. Nice.. not thrillin’, but nice. So when a different group of my friends suggested a blind IPA taste testing, I wasn’t very optimistic; but of course I was game anyway. Surprise! Not only was it a great evening,
Hops shortage made manifest

If I had any doubts about what would happen with the the hops shortage, I just got a very concrete example. Yesterday, I paid $16.99 (+ tax) for a six-pack of Stone Ruination IPA. I will certainly be savoring these. submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2008/02/25/hops-shortage-made-manifest/’; Related Posts:Hop shortage turning small brewers into farmersHops shortage on Wired.comHops!
