You are going to see a couple of Bastards this month form Stone Brewing (Escondido, CA). One is a new bastard, the other you have seen, know and love. Yes- it’s Double Bastard time of year. This strong ale was first released in November of 1998, and it’s not for the unworthy. It’s a big, hoppy, in your face beer not for the faint of heart. (or tastebuds). It’s liquid arrogance. The best way to familiarize yourself with this big beer? Read the label straight from the bastards at Stone Brewing themselves-

Still working on verifying if the Dogfish and Stone editions will hit the city. Read more for the whole story.
