I love beer. Actually, let me recompose that statement and say that I enjoy alcohol I have a very non-American view on drinking, it’s not something to be ashamed of, it’s just part of our culture.

Anyway, I took a tour of Stone Brewery this week and sampled some of their fine craft beer. I’ve been on a wine kick for the last few years but after a tour, and some tastings that I started buying beer again. I purchased some fine growlers of Arrogant Bastard at Stone, it’s an excellent ale, with a strong, hoppy bite.

However, my favorite beer that day was the Stone Imperial Russian Stout, which is only available seasonally. Sadly, this meant that I couldn’t buy it “brewery fresh” in a growler to take home. So while I did get excellent two growlers of Arrogant Bastard, I had to canvas my local liquor stores of Russian Stout.

Today, I tasted the beer today, fresh beer is a lot better than the bottled variety. So, if you have a locally brewery, support them or just drink more of their beer.
