"Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewing in Escondido, Calif. The brewery delights in taunting its customers. "It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality or depth," reads the screed on the back of the bottle. But Stone backs up its boast. This American strong ale, aged over oak chips, has a powerful grapefruit and pineapple aroma, a caramel malt sweetness and a lingering dry finish: part hop and part tannin."

"There may be a budding food crisis afoot in the land, but at least there's still beer—and a growing amount of small-batch "craft" beer, according to the U.S. Brewer's Association, the trade association for America's favorite foamy beverage.
The food crunch has hit the beer business; rising costs have made quality ingredients harder to come by.
And last spring Oregon Reps. Peter DeFazio and Greg Walden founded the first ever House Small Brewers Caucus, a bipartisan group dedicated to keeping watch over the interests of the microbrewery industry on Capitol Hill."

The first flavor that hits your mouth is a bitter pine hop flavor followed by that distinct hearty Belgium yeast flavor. The beer finishes with that same hop flavor that you started with. This is an amazing example of this new emerging style coming from southern California."

Well Preserved
"Stone are the people behind 'I am a Craft Brewer' (I maintain it's the most inspirational 4 minutes on the Internet for beer fiends and some foodies), Vertical Epic (the beer you collect for 11 years before drinking in a single night) and Stone World Bistro & Gardens. They are consistently named as one of the best (if not the best) brewers in the world and certainly in North America. In short, these guys are the superheroes of beer."

Taking the Beard Out of Beer
"...my current object of total adoration is Greg Koch, CEO of Stone Brewing. His presentation of a short film entitled 'I Am a Craft Brewer' is the single most powerful message that I have seen about artisan beer in a very long time and it has totally stolen my heart-watch it online and you will undoubtedly feel the same."

"I'm a big huge gigantic fan of Stone...So imagine my glee when I walked into my local Spec's and saw Old Guardian, Stone's barleywine...Yes its really hoppy, and it sits in the mouth coating the tongue and sides. But then there is this malty sherry-like taste that really brings a nice complexity to the beer."

"(Stone 05.05.05 Vertical Epic Ale was) Wonderfully smooth, rich, and somewhat sweet, but not cloyingly so. Subtle hints of caramel, chocolate, molasses, and (maybe) a slight coffee-ish note. Some noticeable bitterness of hops, but they were not overwhelming."

"As an aficionado of both strong and fruity Belgian ales and west coast U.S. hop monsters, I was left pleased with both the "Cali" and the "Belgique/België" elements of this ale. San Diego, meet Antwerp. Antwerp, this is San Diego. I hope you two will be very happy together."

The Results Are In:
More Americans Are Drinking Better Beer—
More Americans Are Drinking Stone!
WHO: Brewers Association
WHAT: Top 50 Craft Breweries in America—Stone Brewing Co. Rises to #20!
WHY: Craft Brewing Industry Continues Strong Growth in 2007
Let’s clarify the ranking in the above heading. Stone Brewing Co., according to the Brewers Association (BA), which tabulates annual growth and production data in the American brewing industry, has ranked 20th among craft brewers in the U.S. in terms of sales by volume. The BA ranking notwithstanding (and false modesty certainly never being among our core values) we at Stone still prefer to think of ourselves as #1—in terms of the quality and character of our beer, of course. Still, #20 in sales is hardly small beer, given that Stone’s humble beginnings barely over a decade ago make us the youngest brewer among the top 25 on the list.
