07/07/07 Vertical Epic Ale

2007-05-21T08:32:06Z

is coming soooon! Huzzah!

However, I'm still lamenting the fact that I never got an 02/02/02. Like most everyone else, I found out about the series in '03. I know they're going for ridiculous prices these days, even if one *could* find someone willing to part with theirs.

I'm wondering, since the recipe is posted on the Stone Website, has anyone tried it out? Do you think a novice brewer could pull it off? I've never brewed before. Flirted with the idea, stared soulfully into the eyes of the notion, but never gone all the way. I'm thinking that brewing may be good dirty fun anyhow, but I want to see if I can do this one. Any words of advice, or am I asking the wrong tribe?

p.s. If there ~is~ someone willing to part with a spare 02/02/02, I have an extra 05/05/05 I can throw in, if you missed it...

10th Anniversary IPA

2006-12-28T21:47:48Z

I tried a few 22 oz-ers the other day, then served the 3 liter jeroboam at a party this weekend. Great! Tastes as if it's aged to perfection already, though I'm sure it will stand up will to a couple years more.

Fucking Morons

2006-05-28T22:21:29Z

Bush Losing Core Supporters

WASHINGTON, May 11 – President Bush appears to be losing support among a key group of voters who had hitherto stood firmly with the president even as his poll numbers among other groups fell dramatically.

A new Gallup poll shows that, for the first time, Bush’s approval rating has fallen below 50% among total fucking morons, and now stands at 44%. This represents a dramatic drop compared to a poll taken just last December, when 62% of total fucking morons expressed support for the president and his policies.

The current poll, conducted by phone with 1,409 total fucking morons between May 4 and May 8, reveals that only 44% of those polled believe the president is doing a good job, while 27% believe he is doing a poor job and 29% don’t understand the question.

The December poll, conducted by phone with 1,530 total fucking morons, showed 62% approved of the president, 7% disapproved and 31% didn’t understand the question.

Faltering approval ratings for the president among a group once thought to be a reliable source of loyal support gives Republicans one more reason to be nervous about the upcoming mid-term elections. “If we can’t depend on the support of total fucking morons,” says Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), “then we’ve got a big problem. They’re a key factor in our electoral strategy, and an important part of today’s Republican coalition.”

“We’ve taken the total fucking moron vote for granted,” says Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), “and now we’re paying for it. We’ve let the Democrats control the debate lately, and they’ve dragged discourse back into the realm of complex, nuanced issues. So your average total fucking moron turns on his TV and sees his Republican Congressman arguing about Constitutional law or the complexities of state formation in the Middle East, and he tunes out. He wants to hear comforting, pandering, flattering bromides and he doesn’t want to hear a logical argument more complex than what you’d find on a bumper sticker.”

For Feeney, the poll is a dire warning that Republicans can ignore only at their peril. “This should send a signal that we have to regain control of the debate if we want the support of our key constituencies in the coming election and beyond. We need to bring public discourse back into the realm of stupidity and vacuity. We should be talking about homosexual illegal immigrants burning flags. We should be talking about the power of pride. We should be talking about freedom fries. These are the issues that resonate with total fucking morons.”

But some total fucking morons say it’s too late. Bill Snarpel of Enid, Oklahoma is a total fucking moron who voted for Bush in both 2000 and 2004. But he says he won’t be voting for Bush in 2008. “I don’t like it that he was going to sell our ports to the Arabs. If the Arabs own the ports then that means they’ll let all the Arabs in and then we’ll all be riding camels and wearing towels on our heads. I don’t want my children singing the Star Spangled Banner in Muslim.”

Total fucking moron Kurt Meyer of Turlock, California also says his once solid support for Bush has collapsed. “He invaded Iraq and all those soldiers died, and for what? We destroyed all their WMDs, but now their new president is making fun of us and saying he’s going to build nuclear bombs and that we can’t stop him. Well, nuclear bombs are even worse than WMDs, so what did we accomplish?”

Laura McDonald, a total fucking moron from Chandler, Arizona, says she is disappointed that the president hasn’t been a more forceful advocate of Christian values. “This country was founded on Christian values,” she says, “but you’d never know it looking around and seeing all the Mexicans running around. I thought Bush was going to bring Jesus back into the government. Instead, Christians are being persecuted worse than ever before in history, because all these Mexicans come here and tell Christians that we have to respect their religious beliefs. So now it’s illegal for children to pray in school. Soon it will be illegal for them to speak English.”

Not all total fucking morons have turned their backs on the president. Jeb Larkin of Topeka, Kansas says he still fully supports Bush. "He is doing a great job. He is a great president. He is a great decider. I have a puppy. His tail sticks straight up and you can see his butthole."

And not all Republican lawmakers are concerned about the poll. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), for one, does not find it a cause for anxiety. While he agrees that his party should not take total fucking morons for granted, they “really don’t have anywhere else to go. They’re never going to be able to understand someone like Al Gore or John Kerry or anybody intelligent and articulate who wants to talk about substantive issues. Just try having a conversation with one of them about global warming. They’ll say, ‘Oh, but Rush says volcanoes consume more ozone than humans do.’ I mean, they’re morons! Total fucking morons!”

Old Guardian rocks.

2006-03-30T01:09:37Z

I don't care about the politics surrounding what the owner may have done. We all need money, capitalism stinks doesn't it? (you can have anything you want, but you better not take it from me - welcome to the jungle.)

Old Guardian 2006 is fucking incredible. I have drank MANY barleywines, and by drank I mean consume and evaluate not just get hammered on. I like a couple other Stone beers, but nothing touches OG. It is an amazing beer, and I'm sorry if it doesn't meet up to others standards... it could be a stock barleywine recipe with just some cat fur, a moldy rat carcass, and unfiltered San Diego tap water for all I know... but I do know this - I now rank it as my favorite barleywine... it's affordable, readily available, and delicious. And I live within walking distance to Brooklyn Brewery, so technically I am a beer asshole not beer snob.

Oh well.

Does anyone have a lead on how or where to find the three liter bottles that were used in last year's Double Bastard Ale with the grolsch-type stoppers?
(and any leads on if there will be a similar 3 l bottle this year?)
Thanks.

This is a beer by which all others will be measured

2005-10-26T02:53:45Z

I went on a vacation a short while ago, and I tried this brew. I must say. This was the beer I've been looking for all my life! Totally awesome! I am kicking myself for going back to the east coast, for they are quite ignorant in the qualitys of good beer. (hell, they like that buttwiper crap) So, with fond wishes and great desires I hope to finally go back home(California) and have me a fresh poured Bastard. It made me think of Guiness with an asshole attitude. I LOVED it.

Favorite Stone brew?

2004-12-20T09:20:06Z

So, what's your favorite of the Stone Brewery beers?

I'm a hardcore Arrogant Bastard fan (obviously), although I think Runiation might be edging it our for my favorite.

The Double Bastard is awesome, but hard to find and a little much to drink regularly.

(Side note: Has anybody had their Levitation Ale? I haven't been able to find that in the wild yet.)

why you should not support this beer

2004-02-04T20:46:12Z

the ceo of this company greg koch swindled and hurt the music scene in san francisco.

he used to manage a place called downtown rehearsal which was a home to about 500 bands. the building was bought and he notified the tenants that he had negotiated a new lease with the owners and would be doubling the rent to make much needed improvements.

what he neglected to state was that the new owner was his father. he never actually made any improvemnets in the next year and then his father sold the building for over the ten times the price he purchased it for in the real estate boom of the dot bomb.

this created a situation where over 2000 musicians were evicted from their practice spaces. many musicians were forced to leave the city for low rents. this diminished the music scene in san francisco greatly. the rehearsal space real estate has never really recovered and there are slowly forming movements of music to revitalize our city.

so not only did he double the rents but he threw out the musicians for the sake of greed.

i believe that he is still banned from many bars and clubs in san frnacisco.

you may read these articles if you have any concerns about the validity of these statements.

thank you for not buying this beer.
