You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers–especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs–we’ve taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We’ve not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you’re getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short windowwe made sure that the Enjoy By date isn’t randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the bottle, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and beer fans. Instead, we’ve sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.
Enjoy By has it’s own website for it too. [EnjoyBy]

Even well established breweries have some infection issues sometimes. Stone Brewing Co discovered yesterday that bottles of their 2010 Russian Imperial Russian Stout aged in bourbon barrels has some infection issues. The stout has spent two years resting in bourbon barrels before making it’s way into the world. Randy Clemens, Media & Communications for Stone mentioned this on Beer Advocate:
Yeah, this is a major bummer to hear. We’re looking into the half-fills and the reports of infected bottles as we speak, and we’ll have much better information (as well as a solution to make it right!) after our meeting tomorrow. If you can’t wait that long, you’re welcome to bring your bottle(s) back–filled, empty, or anywhere in between–for a full refund, no questions asked. More details to come; thanks all for your patience, understanding, loyalty, and hopefully forgiveness.
This special edition is part of Stone’s Quingenti Millilitre series. I guess there are some sad beer geeks out there right now.

Stone Brewing Co. celebrates 16 years of aggressive brewing this August. Just like previous years, there will be an anniversary beer to celebrate. Coming August 13th – Stone 16th Anniversary IPA. Expect hops, a dash of rye spice, and lemon flavor, as this imperial IPA is brewed with lemon verbena & lemon oil. Lemon verbena is a flowering shrub that gives foods a lemony flavor. It is also known for it’s antioxidant properties. Lemon oil comes from the lemon zest. (Perhaps the Bonnie Brae variety? Popular in San Diego county.)
We’ve been loving creating Collaboration beers with great creative brewers from all over the world these last several years–unique beers that would never have existed without the free-flowing imagination and idea generation of the collaborative process. However, when it comes to the Stone Anniversary Ales, it’s all us. Yet, it is indeed still a collaboration with great creative brewers (if we do say so ourselves). We’re talking about our own brewing team, of course. And while some of our beers, anniversary and otherwise, have been designed by a single person, the Stone 16th Anniversary IPA was definitely a teaan effort. This year our brewing team was inspired by some exotic-dab additions of the lemony persuasion. Yes, it’s a Double IPA (can you really say you’re surprised?), but as we strive to do with all our Stone Anniversary Ales of the let’s-take-this-IPA-in-a-new-direction variety, we’ve brewed up a Stone-worthy divergence from tradition. The amount of rye malt we used isn’t quite enough to warrant the appellation “Rye IPA,” but it still adds hints of spiciness that contrast deliciously with the tropical fruit flavors and aromas of the Amarillo and Calypso hops. Adds few European specialty malts, some lemon verbena, and three more hop varieties to the mix, and you have a highly complex brew melding both bitter and fruity hop notes with rich toasted malt character punctuated by nuances of spicy rye and subtle lemon.
Style: Imperial IPA (w/ lemon verbena, lemon oil)
