Drinking a Stone Arrogant Bastard and its fantastic. I randomly got their 15th anniversary IPA at a bar but haven't been able to find it at a store. Anyone seen it?

the 15th anniversary imperial black IPA? if so ya i just picked up a bomber tonight at a local store, they had a bunch in stock

just drank the stone collab japanese green tea IPA. thought i would love it (had a great smell on pour) but i'm not a big fan, had a hard time picking up the green tea but the alcohol taste was fairly overpowering and the sweet malty ending was kind of bleh. feel like it needed more hop kick to mask the alcohol

Just had this last night and it was really great. Had a good deal more roast character than other black IPAs I've had, which made it pretty interesting.

drinking this aorn, pretty interesting brew not sure if i've ever had something like this...agree the roasty malt is fairly prevalent (i'm also getting some chocolate in there) but its still got that american IPA citrus hop flavor, also even at 11% ABV the alcohol taste is basically non existent. i'm not a big fan of imperial stouts but this finds a nice middleground between them and your standard hop bomb DIPA, very good brew imo

the cashier at the liquor store said that the Sublimely Self Righteous Ale is a similar style but i've never tried that, may look for it next time though

Haha. I picked up the 15th anniversary BLACK IPA after work one day and was excited to go home and relax. I drank it pretty quickly while playing online and not paying attention. It was delicious. I did, however, quickly find that I was pretty friggin buzzed/borderline drunk cuz I didn't realize it was 12%! Damn tasty tho.

I've been hearing a ton lately about these amazing microbrew IPA's in a can, but have been to lazy to read up on it. I've heard some rave reviews from a bunch of serious beer snobs.

I rarely order or buy Newcastle, but someone calling it awful is just lol.

Probably mentioned somewhere itt (haven't had a chance to read it all), but yeah. Oskar Blues and Maui Brewing Co. are two awesome craft breweries that sell all their beer in cans. I like it because it means I can go to the pool/lake and drink non-****ty beer.

I think Newcastle is awful but I don't like brown ales so thats the main reason. I also got some Leinenkugel's octoberfest for real cheap. It is terrible tho...and I really like most Oktoberfest beers, even the cheap ones

Maybe you saying anyone saying that is lol is the actual lol statement? It is obvious a lot of people don't like it and a lot of people do. It isn't universally liked like you seem to think apparently.

saying you don't like it is different from saying it's awful

one of the people saying it is awful just hates the style in general. Its not so much a comment on the beer as it is a personal taste. Also, since when is 3 people a reliable statistic to then say that TSC's statement is lol? No one has said that it's great either, but that its a solid beer
