Day 212 - Stone 13th Anniversary Ale
Stone Brewing - Stone 13th Anniversary Ale
Escondido, CA (USA)
ABV 9.5% Calories 300*
Strong, super bitter, and a slight sweetness to this beer. This is the 13th Anniversary Ale from Stone; you should get one and try it out. Here is what they have to say on Stone's website:
“Big, red, and a hop monster!”
1. This is the first time we’ve ever released the Imperial/Double Red style.
2. We used more pounds of hops per barrel than any beer we’ve ever made.
3. We used Chinook hops in the brewhouse for bittering and flavor, then dry-hopped this beer with a 50/50 blend of Simcoe and Centennial.
4. As an added bonus, we then dry-hopped it again, just prior to filtering and packaging. That’s right, our popular double dry-hopped process, for the first time ever in one of our bottled beers!
Really this beer is hopped-out. Had two sips and I'm buzzing.
