This is Cigar City Brewing‘s Batch #5 of 110K + OT. A massive 11% ABV Strong Ale (that’s a style judgement call) brewed with curacao peel. (That’s fancy for oranges.) The brewery calls it like this.
The result is an incredibly hoppy citrusy bomb, but warming in the finish. Double IPA? Hoppy barley wine? Whatever it is, it’s pretty awesome.
Style: American Strong Ale (w/ curacao peel)
Availability: 750 ml bottles, Draft.
Arrival: Late May, 2012
Stone Brewing Co is adding Punishment to the Quingenti Millitre lineup. Punishment is barrel aged Double Bastard Ale, mixed with chilies, and aged in whiskey. There is a counterpart (Crime), another chili laden, barrel aged strong ale counterpart. Greg Koch tells the story on the label…
Greg here with a short word. Question actually. Maybe even a riddle.
As in, Q: “What do you call it when Greg takes his harvest bounty of chili pepper varieties from his own personal garden and/or Stone Farms, and adds them to… and thus ruins… and otherwise beautiful barrel aged blend of Arrogant Bastard Ale, OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale, and Double Bastard Ale (AKA Lucky Basartd Ale)?
A: “A Crime!”
Q: ” What do you call it when you take a sip of Barrel Aged Double Bastard Ale that’s had an equal share of the bounty of chili peppers unceremoniously added in, resulting in a punishingly intense level of hot pepper heat to an already overly intense beer?”
A: “Punishment.”
And there you ahve it. As with many riddles boys and girls, this one carries a cautionary tale. Yes, I could have written it out Brothers Grimm style, but we don’t have time fo fairy tales. You got two riddles and a warning, and that’s all. Unless you’ve actually managed to procure one of these ultra rarities in which case you’ll get Crime and Punishment. Not to mention regret. Hmmm… I like it. “Regret.” No THERE’S a great name for a beer.
Note: This beer is fro fans of capsicum heat only. If you don’t qualify, then stay far afar away (or as some prefer, whimper and whine through tear stained eyes). You should realize in advance that no one cares to hear said whimpering and whining about your foolish decision. It’s better to remain silent and be thought a whimp, than to whine and complain and remove all doubt.
Style:American Strong Ale (Barrel Aged, w/ Peppers) Availability: 500 ml bottles. Limited Release Arrival: TBA

Earlier today, BSJ mentioned Clown Shoe’s “Angry Beast“, headed your way in the coming months. This is Flight Of The Pimp, a collaboration with Brash Brewing out of Texas. What pimp? Pimp is a brown ale that the two breweries did together. Clown Shoes is taking Pimp, and blending with Knob Creek Barrel Aged Blaecorn Unidragon.
Style: Strong Ale (Barrel Aged) Availability: Arrival:
Stone Brewing Co.’s American Strong Ale known as the evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale, aged in Bourbon Barrels.
From the label of Double Bastard:
Warning: Double Bastard Ale is not to be wasted on the tentative or weak. Only the Worthy are invited, and then only at your own risk. If you have even a modicum of hesitation, DO NOT buy this bottle. Instead, leave it for a Worthy soul who has already matriculated to the sublime ecstasy of what those in the know refer to as “Liquid Arrogance”.
This is one lacerative muther of a beer. It is unequivocally certain that your feeble palate is grossly inadequate and thus underserving of this liquid glory…and those around you would have little desire to listen to your resultant whimpering. Instead, you slackjawed gaping gobemouche, slink away to that pedestrian product which lures agog the great unwashed with the shiny happy imagery of its silly broadcast propaganda. You know, the one that offers no challenge, yet works very, very hard to imbue the foolhardy with the absurd notion that they are exercising ‘independent’ thought or attempts to convey the perception it is in some way ‘authentic’ or ‘original’. It’s that one that makes you feel safe and delectates you into the warm, fuzzy, and befudding glow of your own nescience. Why so many allow themselves to be lead by the nose lacks plausible explanation. Perhaps you have been so lulled by the siren song of ignorance, that you don’t even notice your white knuckle grip on it. You feel bold and unique, but alas are nothing but sheep, willingly being herded to and fro. If you think you are being piqued in this text, it is nothing when compared to the insults we are all asked to swallow spilling forth from our televisions. Truth be told, you are being coddled into believing you are special or unique by ethically challenged ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ marketing exec-types. Double Bastard Ale calls out the garrulous caitiffs who perpetuate the aforementioned atrocities — and those that buy into them — and demands retribution for their outrageously conniving, intentionally misleading, blatantly masturbatory, and fallacious ad campaigns. We demand the unmitigated, transparent truth. We demand forthright honesty. We want justice! Call ’em out and line ’em up against the wall… NOW!
Style: American Strong Ale (Barrel Aged) Availability: 16.9 oz bottles Arrival: TBA
