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-
From the label:
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 an ale. It is unequivocally certain that your feeble palate is grossly inadequate and thus undeserving of this liquid glory…and those around you would have little desire to listen to your resultant whimpering.
