Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Oct 7




Your host will be Dennis of Stone Brewing Company. Chris is stepping to the plate for the first 1/2 hour or so to fill in and standing with him is Joe lavenziana (had to have him spell it for me) Who seemed to like the beers we are offering this evening and who I promised to make a minor celebrity via our blog. I can tell you this... While Joe may have enjoyed the beers the names of them do not describe him at all. Joe came across to me at least as a very nice guy. Cheers Joe! Thanks for letting us put you up on the blog.


Arrogant Bastard Ale $4.99/22oz
This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory–maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beverage will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make things taste better. Perhaps you’re mouthing your words as you read this.

Sublimely Self Righteous $6.99/22oz
We're brewers whose substantial mettle and idiomatic approach to brewing allows us to consistently create works of art such as this justifiably self-righteous ale. Its bitterness hits our sweet spot. Its blackness lightens our hearts. Its liquid dichotomy pulls it all together in this sublimely sacrosanct ale. Yes, we damn well know our stuff here at Stone, and it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge how remarkable this heavenly creation of ours is. Thus the name we are compelled to give it --- Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale --- serves as a reminder of just how good we are, in both liquid and verbal form.

Smoked Porter IPA $4.99/22oz
So you think you don't like dark beer? Prepare to believe. This is no ordinary porter. And if you are already among the enlightened who appreciate a fine ebony-hued ale, we think you will find Stone Smoked Porter to be a poignant addition to your repertoire. This beer pours a gorgeous deep mahogany crowned by a creamy head. Dark, smooth and complex, with rich chocolate and coffee flavors balanced by a subtle smokiness, this brew is equally delicious with meats or fine chocolates.
